Head on collisions not interesting enough? Try adding cacti to your dashboard!
don't forget the increased humidity in the car
The plants will die long before that. Is there a plant abuse hotline?
What do you imagine that will do to the vehicle?
Deteriorate headliner backing, steering wheel, shift knob, fabric door panel adhesive, armrest, makes every surface tacky to the touch and leaves goobery gunk on all the touchable surfaces
Bro, those are succulents. They get watered like once a week, tops. They're not going to affect the humidity to such a degree that it causes deterioration.
How do you think vehicles in humid places last? Lol.
It’s also going to do no more damage than having a hot coffee. People come up with wild things sometimes.

All of the things I described have happened to two cars I've had in the past that each had a trunk leak. Beyond directly problematic sources of moisture, I live where humidity is frequently over 90%. Humidity damage is real.
Do you drink a lot of pops and leave the empty cans in the car?
Moisture doesn’t directly cause any of those issues, you’ve got other crap going on dude.
Also, any time you get into or out of your vehicle, the moisture equalizes with the exterior, it’s also not 100% sealed either. None of what you’ve said is from high moisture. Vehicles literally live on salty coasts and don’t experience those issues after 5 decades. Come on dude lmfao.
Should have spelled "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY"
Congratulations, you turned your steering wheel into a claymore.
No way that would work in the Southwest United States in the summer. The succulents would die during the day in 150°F parked car, or dry out in 30 mins in the 200°F dash. The cactus would die at night when their pores fail to open because it’s still 110°F at 3:30am. In addition to the claymore comments, this idea is stupid on so many levels.
I had a little succulent leaf fall off a plant while it was in the back of my car, by the time I noticed it, it had fully rooted to the carpet. I gently untangled it and planted it in some dirt outside though.
Cars get pretty hot in the summer.
Top left and botzom right look... not real.
And what keeps them from cooking alive in the summer rotting and smelling up your car?

That's a solid no from me.
I see the JW button...
All I can say is, "ow, ow, ow."
