Fun Auto Gadgets You May or May Not Want to Try
While things like GPS, iPod and phone connectors have become common devices we see in cars all the time, there are actually dozens and dozens of fun, interesting, and (somewhat) useful auto gadgets we can purchase. However, many of these items fall within the gag gift/nostalgia category and are only useful for the initial chuckle they get from the recipient when you give it to them as a gift.
Here are 7 auto gadgets you should check out (and maybe purchase):
1. Car Lashes
That’s right! Someone invented eye lashes for your car. You can install them on the headlights of your vehicle to give your car a more feminine look.
2. Instacloth
When you have no room left in your car for paper towels, you can get instacloth! A cloth that instantly coverts from tablet to cloth with a splash of water. But, here is the issue – what if you don’t have water to active the cloth? Perhaps a roll of paper towels is your best option!
3. Oven and pizza maker for your car
This is actually a real item! Just plug in your 12 volt oven using the adapter and you can start preparing your dinner while you are stuck in traffic. Talk about a distraction while you are driving.
4. To-Go dog travel bowls
This actually makes sense. People travel with their pets all the time. And, if you have a long trip ahead, connecting these travel bowls to your cup holders is a great way for your dog to get a drink or have a bite to eat while you are on the road.
5. Auto Sport Console Cushion
Finally, an item that could actually be useful. Made using memory foam, this gives drivers a more comfortable arm rest – something that is useful for people that drive for a living or have a long commute each day.
6. PhotoBlocker
Calling all criminals! Planning a getaway? This is a license plate spray that produces a gloss that prevents speed and red light cameras from reading your plate. Let’s just say there is no reason for you to buy this unless you plan on doing something illegal.
7. Steering wheel eating and laptop tray
Talk about distracted driving waiting to happen. The tray snaps right onto your steering wheel, allowing you to place your food or even your laptop in front of you. But, one has to call into question a drivers ability to safely steer and control the car with this tray installed.
Needless to say, these fun auto gadgets are better left on the shelf at the store. But, they do serve one purpose – they are great for gag gifts for the holiday season!
