Vauxhall makes cars, so this is fair game. I may need to ask John to add an "Insane" category to the list we're able to pull from, though. Here's the skinny: GM's Vauxhall division has a side operation going on called the VX Collective. In short, it's a group of Trendy British People "from the worlds of film, design, cooking, clubbing and sport" (clubbing...good grief) who design random swag that's somehow car-related, which Vauxhall then sells on the VX Collective website. Past items have included leather dice to hang from your rearview mirror and a screen-printed purse designed to precisely fit the Vauxhall Tigra's glovebox.

Soon enough, however, you'll be able to pick up the Vaux Dock, a creation from graffitti artist (seriously) and jewelery designer Daisuke Sakaguchi. Put plainly, it's a metal, Vauxhall-branded key/coin holder that fits over your iPod dock. Only six were made, each one weighs over a half a pound, and if you want to show the world what an über-hipster you are, prepare to shell out £399, or as we like to say here in the States, SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY EFFIN' DOLLARS!

For an iPod charger cover. With a Vauxhall logo on it. The mind reels.

You can't make this stuff up, and as proof, you can read the official press release after the jump.
