We’ve already told you three months ago about Houdini’s Escape Tool. Now I found a nice review about it. The gadgeteer tested it and they presented us how to use it correctly.
Julie used a 5 x 5 inch piece of glass and she admitted it wasn’t so sexy as testing the tool in a real vehicle. After that she said:
The Houdini Pro has a window breaking tip just like the non-Pro tool. The only difference is that the Pro tool is easier to handle since it is larger, and you don’t have to remove any parts to use it. To test the window breaker, you place the tip on the glass and push down. The spring loaded tip will depress and then a point inside it will pop out with enough force to shatter the glass. It’s very quick and easy to do. It does not require significant effort. I think even a child could probably do it if instructed properly.
Now, let’s see how the piece of glass looked after Houdini’s Escape Tool did the master job. Completely shattered.
I hope you will all understand the benefits of such a magnificent car gadget. I would like to put it next to the other four gadgets that you need for a safe road trip and about I wrote few days ago.
Enjoy!
Living in a car-crowded city is like living in hell. Of course, if you are a car driver! Moreover, since you have to use your car to get to work every morning, better stick it in your ass. I have to confess it’s much better to cycle everyday. First for your health and second for your boss. You’ll be able to get to work on time.
Better use the train or the bus. This way you’ll save money for the new Mission One EV electric sports bike. Nowadays it’s trendy to be Eco. But there is a major problem: ECO spirit is breaking your wallet!
At the TED Conference, Mission Motors revealed its all-electric two-wheels model with a top speed of 150 MPH. The lithium-ion battery keeps your ride safe for 150 miles.
Of course, the strength of an electric drivetrain is torque and the Mission One has 100 lb-ft of the stuff on offer from the first twist of the throttle up until 60 mph/
What can I say?! I see Mission One as a solution for my year 2030 daily way to work. Because now it’s so expensive. Probably, if I had $10 million I would buy it as my favorite moto gadget. Mission One EV electric sports bike costs no more or less than $70 000. Anyway, its design made my day better!
How long do you prepare a road trip for? How many times have you had unexpected troubles with your car, with the police (because of breaking the speed limit), with your dirty car (because you couldn’t find a car wash in your way and the license plate wasn’t visible) or just because you like to drink a little bit over the limit? The answers varies a lot between never had problems and yes, I always have problems, I should be more careful in planning my road trip.
I will tell you now what you really need for a safe roadtrip.

As you know I am a driver, I own a car and I am totally against even hands-free phone systems. My security when driving is more important than any other device that can disturb me. We live in an age when being on time is more important than our safety. Tell me, how many times were you in a hurry because you’ve been caught in traffic? Now, tell me if you use your phone to apologize for coming late at work … when driving! I bet you do.
I’ve seen people reading books behind the wheel in traffic and girls looking in the mirror to put on make up when driving. Anyway, because I will tell you about the Zumba phone (first truly hands-free mobile phone), it’s your brain that’s distracted when you’re on the phone, not your hands. I sincerely advise you to care about your safety as a driver more than your personal problems.
Now, great news! The Zumba phone offers you the world’s first fully accurate voice recognition system for mobile phones. Now I am tempted to say: “So what? To my mind it’s the same if you use a hands-free plugged into your phone or if you use the Zumba when driving!“, but Zumba has a nice feature that allows you to send text messages using speech alone! While doing the kinky job of sending an SMS using voice recognition, your phone’s data (including your contacts) is stored on a 100% secure website.
Zumba has a nice design and you can speak to your friends while it is tucked away in your jacket’s pocket or in your car’s boot. The secret is an ear hook type device that covers your ear. You can do everything by pressing a single button!
It really sounds revolutionary (and good for us, the drivers) but because the producer is a small company, I might be skeptic about his future.
Via.
I’ve met people who had big problems because of cuts. It’s true, they didn’t have problems because of something the steering wheel grip did, but because of something knives or other strange objects did. Just imagine how many bacteria there are on the steering wheel or on the gear shift. You have no idea. The bacteria cause most of these infections.
I won’t start to tell you my medicine theories, but i will tell you how to protect your hands when driving. These particular, fashion and funny gloves are made from 100% polyester with acrylic resin grips. The gloves have been tested for comfort and fade resistance.
Price: $25.00 (sold out already)
Usually, I don’t like people who spit. Actually, spitting it’s the most disgusting thing you can do in front of me. My friends know this detail and sometimes they try to be funny while I’m eating. My stomach cursed them many times.
There are guys in the world who are training their spittle for contests. While digging through the internet, I found one guy who won a contest after spitting 35 watermelon seeds into a paper cup in just five minutes. Also, I’ve found tutorials for people who wants to improve their speed and accuracy on doing this obnoxious thing.
If your habit is to spit every three minutes… what will you do while driving? Watch out, it has already been invented: No Spill Spit Cup.
If you could think of one word to describe a GPS, what would it be? If I say “Ferrari”, it might not be the right word, and people are bound to say I’m a little bit crazy. I admit one of my dreams is to own a car like this but if you want to buy me a GPS I advise you to chose something else. Not because I don’t like it but because it won’t fit on my car.
The Ferrari Traffic Assist Pro is nice looking (like almost all Ferrari’s products), it has a 4.3″ touchscreen, map data for Europe and United States, Bluetooth handsfree set, telephone and address book, lane info assistant etc.
Now go and buy the adequate car for this gadget! More details here, via.

I’ve never been an ass-kisser. Actually, I prefer to work alone because I hate superiors. If they ever start complaining about their employees’ attitude, it’s obvious they have a problem. Let’s face the truth, is there anyone who ever felt frustrated because he did the best for his job and his boss did nothing but complain? Put two fingers up please.
I had moments in my career when I wanted to have a magic wand to close my boss’s mouth. Tell me! Would you literally ever kiss your boss’s ass for a promotion?! I never did such a thing.
When anger goes out of control, I suggest you to buy the Sound Accel Pedal. Step the pedal and you’ll feel like Michael Schumacher at Maranello. Imagine you’re driving and your boss is just crossing the street. Three levels of engine humming (loud, louder and loudest) will surround you depending on how you step the pedal.
The gadget is battery-powered and it costs $30. Ah, the device was invented by a Japanese guy stressed out by his boss.
Tell me of one little boy who would reject your offer to buy him an R/C car! Oh, nowadays children are freaking me out and be sure I will bet my monthly income for 2 out of 10. The others are keen on computers, iPhone and chewing gum.
I wish I could’ve lived these days when I was 6. Nothing compares (yes, like the song) to the Knight Rider R/C car. Not even the real one. I think it’s the perfect gadget for my future son! But, of course, I’ll play with it a little before!
