SUMMARY:
- Drop a pin with the location of your car on your mobile map. In this case, Google maps will eagerly help you locate your vehicle in no time!
- Take an empty cereal container, put a trash bag inside, and voila! You now have an ideal no-spill trash can for all your empty wrappers and cups.
- You can put a roll of duct tape on the passenger seat and place your drink inside. Plus, you’ll always have the universally handy duct tape within reach whenever you need it!
- Take a tackle box, raid a grocery store or your kitchen, and assemble a nice little kit of your favorite snacks. No fuss, no mess, and no more stopping at convenience stores just to ease your cravings.
- If you can’t go anywhere without your multiple gadgets and gizmos, opt for a multi-port USB charger. It’s also handy when you’re traveling with a big group of friends.
- If you're sick and tired of the chaos that’s invaded your car, just use a shoe organizer to make your space neat and tidy.
- Keep a blow-up mattress in your trunk just in case. Simply put it in the back seat, inflate it, and there you go! They even make special inflatable mattresses that fit cars perfectly!
- What will you do if your GPS or phone suddenly dies and you don’t have a charger with you? That's why you should always keep a road atlas in your car.
- If you haven't got a phone holder yet, you can use a rubber band or a hair tie!

He said so many things for what you need to be prepared for a long trip, I don’t know where I can put my luggage?

One car hack that has made my life a lot easier is the button that opens the door.

When car noobs make a vid about cars🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[shandysaada]

Stopping by at the gas station or fast food restaurant to ask direction is a life hack? Mind blowing

[KingLee]

Another use for recirc button is if the a/c has been running just long enough to cool the coils down turn the a/c off and turn the recirc on. It will pump colder and colder and colder air in while keeping gas usage to a minimum

[renegl]

For me, getting window tint is a must, some HID projector, or LED headlights to see great at night, having A/C, something to drink/eat, some music, and driving and automatic because of the in-town traffic, and also great for highway traveling.

[sergioromeo]

Hmmm with all the stuff I’d have to put in my trunk, where will my luggage fit if I actually take a road trip? 🤔

[sweetpineapples]

Be a courteous driver, and thank other courteous drivers.
I drive 10 hrs a day around I285 and in Atlanta
Appears most of these other drivers were born ignorant or believe they do no need to care about anyone else...
