Receipt.Catcher helps airheads organize their car expenses
Published by AutoMotoGadgets, on Jan 20 2009, in the categories: Auto, Car, Others

The Receipt.Catcher is supposed to help, but you need some willpower to begin with: you have to put receipts in the right compartment when you get them. The organizer only provides the means: six labeled compartments, plus a mileage log in case it's difficult to remember exact how much you drive every day.
The best part: it won't cost you a lot. Retails for $7 on Amazon.com.
$6 breathalyzer might or might not tell you when you’re too drunk to drive
Published by AutoMotoGadgets, on Jan 12 2009, in the categories: Auto, Car, Others

The gadget promises to tell you in 5 seconds if you're fit to drive, and it signals the state of the user with 3-colored LEDs:
- Green light: Safe - under 0.02% BAC (or 0.1mg/l BRAC)
- Yellow light: Caution - 0.02% BAC (or 0.1mg/l BRAC) to 0.05% BAC (or 0.25mg/l BRAC)
- Red and yellow light: Danger - over 0.05% BAC (or 0.25mg/l BRAC)
Now, since it only costs $6... you can assume it's not the best quality item in the world, so trusting it with your safety (and maybe life) might not be the best idea, but it could at least serve as confirmation after you've had those 4 beers.

Light cigars in style with the new Lamborghini range of lighters and cutters
Published by AutoMotoGadgets, on Aug 20 2008, in the categories: Auto, Car, Others

Buyers can choose between Il Toro, Forza and Estremo lighters ($135-$150), and maybe add a Torino Lamborghini Cutter for about $75. Too much for such a simple thing? Perhaps, but unique good quality products deserve it. And anyone who receives something like this will probably be blown away.

Light-up coin for collectors and Corvette fans
Published by AutoMotoGadgets, on Jul 29 2008, in the categories: Auto, Car, Others

This officially-licensed 71 mg .925 silver clad coin is a non-circulating legal tender of the Republic of Palau (which is known for many other collector coins). But the most interesting (kitschy?) part are the lights: if you push the Corvette logo on the back of the coins, the headlights of the car light up.
Cool or not? You decide.

Breakfast for car lovers
Published by AutoMotoGadgets, on Jul 09 2008, in the categories: Auto, Car, Others

If you're a car fanatic or have one in your life, you can make breakfast much more interesting with the Engine-er Place Setting. Now you'll be able to eat your cereal from a tire (with an included hubcap, of course), sip your coffee from a piston and use wrenches for cutlery. Not real ones, of course, that would make it a bit too difficult; their kitchen versions are much more practical. The hubcap lid snap-locks on to keep food fresh, the insulated chrome-plated mug keeps the coffee hot and the wrenches have real cutlery on the other end.
You can get the set for $59.99, or buy the pieces separately.

How Not to Open an Audi: Unbreakable Windows on an A4 (The Ultimate Gadget)
Published by AutoMotoGadgets, on Dec 07 2007, in the categories: Accesories, Auto, Car, DIY, Funny, Others
The guys in the movie below did it, though. And for 8 minutes they tried to break the window of the car with things varying from a screwdriver, a winch and what not: they even thought they were actors and tried to hit it with the foot or strike it with the fist. None worked. They finally managed to enter in the car. Watch the movie to see what they used to break the window.
Of course, that stone is not really a gadget, but it is Friday and we should have some fun.
Later edit: In the Digg thread to this story (thank you, Diggers, for thinking it's worth digg-ing it), user bloodgc suggested a spark plug as a solution and gave the link to the video below, where a guy uses a spark plug to smash a car window:
Later edit: In the comments to the movie, the guys that were in the movie said that they called the Audi dealer that suggested this solution (breaking the window). They chose the right window because it was the only one that was in stock at the dealer.

Horse-Powered Energy Drink by Fiat Abarth

Next time you speak to your friends, ask them: "And how many HPs it has?". I bet everyone will stare at you and you will be able to show them this post, in which we tell you that Fiat used an energy drink as a publicity stunt at this year's Bologna Motor Show.Still, people at the show said you really didn't need any kind of energy drink if you looked at the girls at the Fiat section.
