Going on a long trip by car or plane over the holidays?  Don’t leave home without some form of entertainment!  When I’m taking that 12 hour flight… I usually bring a bunch of things, like a book, magazines, GameBoy, etc.  But this year, I’m thinking about one of these cool portable DVD players.  They just keep getting better and better (and cheaper too, LOL).  This one caught my eye because it looks cool and sporty, but it also has all the features you need, such as a 3.5″ screen, rechargable battery, carrying case and car adapter.  Check it out

If you love all things “turbo” like I do, then check out this cool RC car.  It’s powered by two large turbines in the back that can boost this little car up to 18 miles per hour!  Of course, it comes with heavy duty foam bumpers in case you lose control.  This thing definitely looks like loads of fun… either for yourself or as a great gift!

With the rainy and stormy season approaching where I live, I decided to check out some portable generators and backup systems… Although power consumption is worse during the summer time, its never too late to be prepared.  Most gas powered generators are very expensive, but I found a slightly different solution that is acutally affordable.  This 1500 watt backup power system by Xantrex has two standard outlets as well as a 12v DC outlet, so you can run virtually any of your home appliances.  In particular, I need it to run my aquarium filter, heater and pump in case the power goes out

Talking on your cell phone while driving has always been dangerous, and it will soon be illegal as well (at least here in California). So, while looking for alternatives to the traditional headset, I stumbled upon this little gadget. It seems to be a great solution for those of us that do not have bluetooth capability built-in to our cars. Just install the dash mounted control, under-dash control unit and external microphone wherever you like, and you will be all set to jabber all you want while driving. Audio comes through your car speakers and your voice is picked up easily by the unidirectional mic. Of course, it only works if your phone supports bluetooth, but at least you won’t have to mess with clumsy headsets anymore.

“Here He Comes, Here Comes Speed Racer…” If that sounds like music to your ears, then check out this 1/25th scale model of the Mach V. Its a definite must have for Speed Racer fans and if you aren’t a fan… well its still a cool looking car. The box says its rated as a level 2 model kit, which means you’ll have to break out the glue and paints to put it together, but even kids should be able to tackle it fairly easily.

Rush Hour is a very old puzzle game that has seen many forms and sizes and now with the industrial age we bring you the traffic jam version. The idea is to get a specific car out by moving pieces only backwards and forwards. Definitely give it to your children to have a go, but these puzzles get quite complex, fit for adults too. Solve a few of these and you can whizz past traffic!

Boys will be boys. We need things that resemble cars, motorcycles and such, so clever companies make everyday items like that. This Wooden Gear Shift Pen and Pad is actually quite stylish too, it is made of Italian wood and chrome, so it’s almost like a Bently’s gear shift

The Bluetooth Mirror is the coolest phone/car gadget I have seen yet! It’s essentially a hands-free set for phones that clips on to your rear-view mirror. With its help you can keep your phone in your bag and still be able to answer, end, redial and reject calls with the push of a button. You can also use voice-dial to call someone, but by far the coolest feature is its ability to project caller number or ID right onto the mirror. You don’t even have to take your eyes off the road, plus how cool is that?

This is a must-have gadget for me… for use in the car. I don’t know if I’ll actually end up using it that much, but its such a great idea and looks great in a car. Don’t expect a high-end dictaphone though, it can only record voice for 12 secs at a time but well… not bad for just taking notes. It is also a sticky note holder so you can jot down important info in a few secs and has a sturdy suction cup to hold it in place.

I generally do not like humid air, but sometimes when its too dry outside, a humidifier can certainly come in handy.  This Air Ion travel(ing) humidifier is a simple gadget that you can bring with you, so you always have some moist air to breathe.  Keep it in your car, desk or even bedside your bed for easy access.  It comes with a car adapter, but you will need to purchase the AC adapter separately  This could definitely come in handy in those dry hotel rooms, but what they really need to do is make a battery operated one for bringing on airplanes (ie, the dryest air in the world)

These self-adhesive white LED lights are so cool.  They are completely portable and wireless and will stick to just about anything.  Use them wherever you need a bit of extra light by simply slapping them onto the surface and pushing the top to turn it on and off.  Apparently, the batteries should be replaced every 100 hours for maximum brightness and the adhesive is removable so you can keep reusing them.  I would think they are great for outdoor use, such as camping etc or put one inside your car for a cool lighting effect.  But most of all, I just think its a cool idea and they come in a bunch of nice colors.

Never again speed away after bumping the car behind you, while trying to parallel park! Ok, you shouldn’t speed away anyway… but at least with this cool gadget, the thought won’t ever have to cross your mind.  The Mito Bumble Bee Back Up Camera is an aftermarket car accessory that enables you to see directly behind your car through a small video camera that is mounted near your license plate. I have one of these built-in to my SUV and it is very very useful.  Anytime I am in reverse, the screen shows me very clearly how far I am from obstacles such as other cars, and of course if there are any little kids or animals behind me.  With an SUV, you definitely can’t see these things without a camera.  So if you get nervous while parallel parking or just want to have some piece of mind, check out this cool device!

Every once in a while, people come up with stuff that’s so obvious, yet has never been done. The Bionic Wrench is a hybrid tool, a mix between a wrench and pliers. What happens to me so often is that I wrench along happily and after about 3 months the bolt becomes as smooth and round as a baby’s bottom. The creator of this superb wrench thought about why this is so. When you turn your wrench to turn the bolt you exert pressure on one corner. By placing the bionic wrench on top and squeezing while turning you exercise the same pressure while reducing the pressure to one corner to a sixth. The hole is wide enough to replace six standard and ten metric wrenches so prepare to clear up some clutter too.
