I am your father while the car is moving
I can’t say I’m a Star Wars fan, but I laughed out loud when the Darth Vader car gadget showed up in front of my eyes. Especially because, while your car is moving, the little figurine makes some noise. I wonder how the dark lord will feel if the car goes into a ditch? Probably [...]
Deer and animal whistle prevents car accidents
As you know, all of us have problems with animals when we drive. A dog may appear out of the blue in front of your lovely 20000 or more dollars car and you can’t avoid the waste of time, because of the broken front bumper. More than that, the dog is dead, which is not [...]
Get in gear with your new cufflinks
So many “designed for car lovers” products are too tacky and in-your-face, it makes a nice change to see something subtle.

Heat up those cold mornings with a battery powered ice scraper
One of the perks of having is car is not freezing your ass off on the street/bus in the middle of winter. One of the downsides is having to clean your car in winter. Even if you don’t have to dig it out of a big mound of snow, if it’s cold outside it means [...]
