REVIEW – Vehicle interiors are notoriously difficult places to store small items, or have things near to hand. Sure, we have consoles, “glove” boxes, and little cubby holes everywhere, but when you’re at a traffic light, and just need to, say, grab a flashlight to see what the heck is rolling around on the passenger

REVIEW—I have reviewed several different car dash cameras over the years, but I am always on the lookout for a better camera. I requested to review the Viofo A229 Pro camera because it offered 4K recording on an SD card. I did not enjoy my experience with the Nexar One Dash Cam because it stored

REVIEW—Ever since I got my Chevy Bolt without a spare tire (yea, thanks, Chevy!), I have been looking for a small tire inflator that can run off its battery, and from the car’s 12V cigarette plug, should I forget to keep the lithium battery charged.

REVIEW – I’ve got an old beater truck, a ’91 Chevy with quite a few miles on it. I don’t drive it often but it’s great when I need it. One day I did need it and when I tried to crank it, all I got was a dreaded ticking. Dead battery. I guess I

REVIEW – As much as I love my Toyota Tacoma, one thing that it’s lacking is a decent infotainment system. Most car manufacturers still seem to treat this vital part of a car’s configuration as an afterthought, and the older the car, the worse the experience.
