Car Alarms - A quick blurb
Don’t leave your car keys behind. But don’t forget to turn on the car alarm too. You want to get back to your beloved car after a night of partying or from work, that’s for sure. Today’s car alarm has gone from low tech to high tech.
A car alarm can be set to be silent, on this mode; it allows the carnapper to bring the car at a certain distance before it kills the engine suddenly. When the engine dies it sounds its blatant siren alerting everybody within a kilometer radius. Modern car alarms are activated remotely and will sound off when the car is at a certain distance from the car owner. That will tell him if the car has been moved from its location.
It is possible to leave your top of the line car without the worries. Car alarms can really be your best pal!

Car Roof Racks
Nowadays it’s normal to see a car that has a roof rack on top. Gone are the days when you can only put all your travel belongings on the trunk of the car. Looking at this kind of set up, the inspiration may have originated in the times of the rajahs when elephants had similar travel racks on top of them. Normally some items like surfboards or huge luggage don’t fit in the boot of the car.
Roof racks are ideal for campers and sports enthusiasts because the design is made to fit bikes, kayaks, surf boards, skis, and other sporting gear. The design is such that it sits squat on the roof of the car and comes with high tensile straps that securely fasten your luggage to the rack. By centering the position of the rack squarely, the center of gravity of the car is maintained keeping it grounded and stable even in long distances.
It is definitely a great way to look stylish and at the same time organized so that even big, bulky items fit.

How to Make a Survival Car Heater
During those cold winter months, you may become snowbound for several days without help from the outside. It is in those times that you will need to heat your car with few resources. So having a car survival heater is really handy. Or you could have it just to be in the safe side. You never know what can happen during those long drives in the cold weather.
Here is how you can make your own survival heater.
You have to gather the following materials:
- roll of unscented
- Half a dozen bottles of unscented 70% to 91% isopropyl alcohol
- empty metal can that is a little taller than the toilet paper roll
- larger metal can such as a 3-pound coffee or large popcorn container
- Aluminum pan or pot a little wider than the top of the larger can
The can that you will use must be metal, it would be better if it is not painted and without the outer paper. The preferable size is that of a one pound coffee can or a 30 ounce fruit can so it can hold the full roll of toilet paper as is. Next thing you do is remove the cardboard core of the toilet paper roll. Take off enough sheets so that it fits into the can when pushed hard. Make sure there is no space around it and it is completely below the rim of the can.
Place the can with the toilet paper inside the larger can. Place your car heater in an area in your car which is has free space 18 inches all around. When you have found the right spot, you now add a few ounces of isopropyl alcohol, but not the whole thing, on the toilet paper. You will see that the paper absorbed the liquid.
All you have to do now is light your survival car heater. You have to open your window a little bit so some fresh air can come in. When you’ve done that, carefully light the toilet paper with a match or lighter. Once you lighted it, a small flame appears that will burn slowly and warm enough for your car. If you feel that the car is warm enough, place the aluminum pan over the can to conserve your fuel. When you start to feel cold, just add more alcohol to the car survival heater and light it again.

Tips on Buying a Portable Car Heater
Having a portable car heater is very useful, especially if your vehicle takes some time to warm up. If you still don’t have one and you plan to buy one any time now, there are some things you should know. Some of these include power cord, adjustability, and safety. You can always use some help in deciding which the best one for you is. So, here are some tips for buying your own portable car heater.
The first and most important thing is safety. It is the one thing you always have to consider when buying anything.. The design you are looking for is one with a cabinet that remains cold even while the heater is in use. It is also advisable to look for a portable car heater that has an automatic safety limit switch.
Next thing to consider in buying a portable car heater is the power cord. You should check the length of the power cord to make sure that it is long enough to reach into the back seat of your car. Thus, you should probably want a portable car heater that is at least six feet long.
You should also consider the adjustability of the portable car heater you are about to buy. There are models that can be adjusted 45 degrees up and down. There are also models that can be adjusted 90 degrees to the left or right. This is more practical since they won’t have to be focused on one area only and all the passengers can feel the warmth.
If you would like to solve your defrosting problems, look for a portable car heater that can do that. Many car owners buy car heaters to help them defrost their windows in the morning. To be able to do this, look for a portable car heater that attaches easily to your back window.
The last thing you must consider when buying your portable car heater is temperature. Look for a design that has automatic temperature control. This will allow the heat to spread evenly throughout the car. You should also consider buying a portable car heater that can blow out warm and cool air. If you have this kind, you can use it during winter and summer. It may cost a little bit more than the others, but you get to use it a lot more often.
