In a automotive breakthrough of epic proportions, allow us to introduce the Bigfoot Air Freshener, complete with a little string for hanging from your rear-view mirror. And no, it's not an abominable aroma--it's pine-scented.

It’s either the world’s smallest shop vac or the only car vacuum on the planet that will suck up water. Handy, that. Our 7-1/2" x 9" portable wet-dry vacuum has an 9-foot cord with a 12V cigarette lighter/accessory plug, a 3-foot-plus flexible hose, large brush, and crevice cleaner. Great for cars, boats, RV's or camping. Bonus: it reverses and has a nozzle to blow up air mattresses and the like.

Make your dashboard one with everything for under seven bucks. This Buddhist monk-on-a-spring wears an off-the-shoulder saffron robe and a blissful expression that will make your daily commute a little slice of Nirvana. Sits 4-5/8" tall with an adhesive base.

Nothing says motoring fun like a zombie on the dashboard. He's green, he's quivering, he's undead, and he sticks to your dash! We're especially fond of the spring-attached head and arms which shake just like a real zombie. About 5-5/8" tall with a partially exposed brain.

In the universe of rhinestone-encrusted trailer-hitch covers, ours is decidedly on the understated side, being a mere 4-3/4" x 4-1/2" in the shape of a dollar sign. Fits 1-1/4" and 2" hitches and includes (3) different mounting brackets. Don't own a trailer? Hang it around your neck and watch the maitre d' usher your party to a special table.

Cookie Monster with a migraine. Also these excellent CCFL lights so the inside of your vehicle can throb with blue lights to the beat of your sound system. It's what Bach would have done if he'd had a car. These are all on fused power cords that slide into the cigarette-lighter plug on 4-foot cords, plus a small control unit on a separate 5-foot cord. All use self-adhesive mounts and  feature adjustable sound-sensitive modes or steady-on modes (for when Mom is in the car). You pick, the 6-3/4" long center mount tube; the 4-5/8" long tube on a pivoting base; the 7-3/4" x 4-5/8" frame to surround your sound source; or the smaller 7-5/8" x 2-1/2" frame for a smaller radio.

at the house of blue light. Little Richard Penniman said so. But good golly, now you can turn your car into the house of blue light with this pair of 3-1/2” long CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) tubes connected via a 28” lead to a control unit, and then to a cigarette plug. Has a 2A fuse with a power switch, and includes self-adhesive mounts for the tubes and control box.

It's now easy to end the heartbreak of unlighted windshield-washer nozzles. Be the first kid on your block with these chrome-ish replacement nozzles (1-3/8" x 5/8" x 1/4") that sport forward-facing blue LEDs. Directionality is adjustable and they include 5-foot polarized leads for wiring plus mounting hardware and gaskets. Don't have a car? Let them spray dramatic light on any surface--like your bedroom wall or basement ceiling, for that private nightclub feel.

That’s what a “travel tumbler” really is, you know. This one is double-walled white plastic to keep your beverage cold or hot (how it knows which is magic) measuring 5-1/2” tall and holding (8) oz. Has a pretty blue gasketed screw top with a drinking slot. Dishwasher safe. Made in Holland, whence we don’t get much stuff, so we’re excited.

The vent window is gone forever, which is why you can’t keep your entire windshield fog-free all the time. (Ask grampa.) So we recommend this low-power auxiliary windshield heater-defroster. Draws a scant 3A and measures 5-3/4" x 3-3/4" x 2" with a visor clip, a 4-foot cord and a little built-in fan. Don’t expect it to remove ice but it does the job in a pinch. Funnest part is proving to the policeman that it’s not an illegal radar detector.
