REVIEW – I love cars! I am one of those people who end up with a new car at least every two to four years.  Fortunately for me, my husband likes to keep a car for the long haul. He also puts a ton of mileage on his cars due to his job. When you …
REVIEW – In my household, we have 2 vehicles, 2 electric bikes, a regular bike, numerous pool inflatables, and various footballs, soccer balls, etc. So we have lots of things that need to be filled with air on a regular basis. Especially the pool inflatables during the summer. Good Lord, I am tired of blowing …

REVIEW – Back in the day, I used to work on my own cars but I gave it up as they became more computer than mechanical. My check engine light came on the other day so I decided to see if I could diagnose it myself but you need a scanner to do that these …
REVIEW – By now I think most of us have seen dashboard camera footage of some kind, whether it’s a humorous mistake or a harrowing near miss on the roads. In the era before dashcams, I had a collision where I was rear ended while going down a hill, and despite a healthy following distance …

REVIEW – Ever since another car backed into my previous car and damaged it, I have always wanted a dashcam to make sure I could have video evidence of any accident. Lucky for me, the person who caused that accident owed up to it and let me file a claim on their insurance. I am …

REVIEW – When the Miracase Phone Holder is open it sort of looks like it’s ready to give your phone a hug. In my reviews I sometimes state the item to which I’m comparing, and whether I’ll replace the old thing with the new thing. My DIY dashboard magnet mount has worked well for me …

NEWS – I guess someone thought that putting a new sticker or physical metal plate on your car every 12 months was just too hard, so they created a fully digital license plate. The Reviver RPlate is a weatherproof connected smart license plate for your vehicle that has a monochrome digital display that you can …
REVIEW – I’ve always been one to do my own car repairs, if at all possible. My DIY chromosome in addition to our family trend of keeping our vehicles for a least a decade means that I am frequently contending with the dreaded check engine light on our 2002, 2009, 2012, and 2017 Hondas. I …
