'slammed' scoobs is another one. Especially on UK roads I'd be scared to drive it anywhere.

Spacesaver that won't fit over the front brakes on a 99MY>on classic so you have to swap it to the rear first. Or I may have that one confused with another car I owned...

Fairly normal on performance cars that have spares tbh. It's usually easier to swap front-back than it is to find somewhere to stash a spare big enough to clear the front brakes. That and it's lighter.

The button on the wiper stalk which sprays water on the windscreen but doesn't turn the wipers on to get rid of it - hard pressed to think of a situation where that would be useful!

Anything Scooby Doo related.

"A VTA changes nothing but noise". And your saying it's not pointless?

"The next to are subjective to taste". Exactly, and this isn't a thread about taste, it's about 'pointless' things on a Subaru I.e things that people put on that don't have a mechanical function. Side-skirts, apart from an aesthetical appeal (to some) serve no purpose, so are therefore pointless.
