Jack Up Your Car With A Balloon


If you’re one of the many people who find jacking up their car too strenuous then here’s the perfect tool for you.

What this baby does is it uses your engine’s exhaust fumes to raise the car. You can now change your wheels, check your car’s under chassis for problems or boast off to onlookers nearby. The balloon used to raise your car can handle up to three tons of weight for about 45 minutes. This time is enough for you to replace your flat tire with a spare one and you can do it with style to boot!

Just don’t over-inflate the balloon unless you want it to explode in your face and watch your ca suddenly bounce from its height.

The New Pioneer NavGate AVIC-F900BT Is God's Gift To Bored Drivers

Come on, admit it. You’re getting bored of your car’s in-car entertainment system. You’d somehow wish you had an entire 42” of pure LCD action you can actually use while you’re driving on the streets. In this way, you know you’ll never get bored going to work ever again.

We don’t have a 42” LCD TV to install to your ride but we have the next best thing anyway.


The Pioneer NavGate AVIC-F900BT is the perfect solution to everything that concerns in-car entertainment. It has a built-in GPS, can play your tunes, lets you watch movies thru its 5.8 inch WXGA touchscreen display and supports Bluetooth for your phones. This baby also plays DVD, supports a number of video formats, has a slot for SD cards and can store 300 of your contacts’ numbers. I guess the only thing this gadget can’t do it drive your car automatically. But hey, you can’t have everything in this life anyway.

Never Get Lost With The GPS Capable Archos 605


Are you always getting lost to Neverland every time you figure out how you’re going to from point A to point B? It sucks having no one to rely on when you’re alone in the middle of nowhere. In this case, you might resort to using your mobile phone and asking someone for directions to help you get out of the rut you’re in. But what would you do if your phone’s battery dies and you have no one to ask directions from.

You’re in luck because this portable media player not only dishes out tunes and movies, it can lead you to wherever you’re going in a manner anyone can simply understand and comprehend. But to be able to fully maximize the use of the Archos 605, you need to install a GPS add-on. This allows you to mount it inside your car and view it while cruising down the road.

Here are some of this media monster’s specs:

• Play all your digital entertainment: movies, TV shows, photos and music
• Record your favorite TV shows
• Stream and watch videos from your PC
• Download movies and music directly on your PMP using the ARCHOS Content Portal
• Enjoy the new high resolution 4.3" touch screen (800x480 pixels)
• Internet enabled to surf the Web, share content, and access Web video sites
• View, zoom photos and make slide shows with music and transition effects, for viewing on the PMP or TV
• Listen to all your favorite music in more formats than any other player
• 30GB to store up to 40 movies, 300,000 photos or 15,000 songs

Some Tech You Should Have

You’re stuck in traffic and it might seem you’re going to spend a lot of time inside your car. Your mind then starts to wander off from the road because your car hasn’t moved an inch for the last 30 minutes or so. With the wonders of boredom coming about, you start to ponder about the latest technology and what kind you should have in your car.

With your boredom at hand, we present to you a partial list of some tech you should have for your car:

  1. Like any responsible car owner these days, you should have a capable security system installed on your ride. It doesn’t matter if you have a kick-ass sound setup inside your trunk or a monster engine that churns out enough horsepower to circle the world under your hood because if you’re still using a defective or inferior security system, then so could start waving your car and all the things installed to it goodbye. If you REALLY are using a defective or inferior security system, you better have it replaced with a new one in order for you to sleep better at night.

  1. Today’s car owner should always have some kind of sound-producing device inside his or her car in order to remain sane throughout the entire journey. Whether you’re still using the car’s stock CD player, an old but reliable radio or the most complicated in-car entertainment system money could buy; this technology can really help you a lot in your everyday driving experience. If you’re always driving long distances regularly, you’d agree with me that a good sound system is your best friend while you’re on the streets.

  1. These days, most people who own a car also owns a mobile phone. The use of these mobile phones while on the road has greatly contributed to a steady rise in vehicular accidents all over the civilized world today. What better way to avoid contributing to this number of accidents than to use a hands-free set for your phone in order to be safe all the time? Would you rather have a phone conversation while cruising down the freeway and exerting more effort or would you rather have it easy by using a hands-free set for your phone and car? It’s a cardinal rule of driving people so get one now.

  1. In line with number three, the modern car owner should have a mobile phone in his or her pocket whenever the use of a car is made possible. These mobile phones not only bridge us to our loved ones but they act us our lifeline to the people we need whenever car problems arise. Picture this: you’re driving in the middle of nowhere and your tire decides to explode. You stop and find your spare tire was left at home. The only thing you could do is call someone to bring some tools and a spare tire to your location or you could phone your neighborhood garage to help you out. Yep, the mobile phone could be your knight in shining armor during these situations.

This is just a partial list people so keep your pants on. When Tech on Wheels comes back, we are going to show you another list of yummy gadgets and amazing techie toys you don’t actually need but you really want for your ride.

Make A Statement With This Baby

It’s hard to stand out from the rest of the crowd nowadays. You buy a cool shirt only to find some ordinary Joe at the grocery line wearing it too. When you step out of the grocery, you immediately spot a group of friends sporting the same shirt for some event. This makes you want to take off that shirt and burn it right away.

The same goes for your car. You always find something on your car that you can find on a gajillion other cars and you see your supposed “individual style” go out the window. Yes, it sucks but there’s something not yet used by many car owners and it’s a sure fire hit to make more heads turn in the direction of your ride.

We present the digital and oh-so-wonderful programmable license plate frame!



Find one now for your car and make your sentiments seen on the road without wasting a ton of money for expensive custom paint jobs!

Have A Different Driving Experience With The Tank Chair

If you’re tired of driving your car down to work and you’re looking for something that could break the monotony of your everyday schedule, then here’s a solution for you:

See more people making way for you when you drive this bad-ass baby down the road and make them eat your exhaust dust. Plus, you could enjoy more of your travel everyday with what the Tank Chair could offer. Its specs are a far cry from a modified muscle car but the experience of driving one is priceless. Here’s a list of its specs:

  • One-Piece Steel Chassis (in order to survive any road condition it encounters)
  • Rubber Tracks w/ Lightweight Aluminum Struts (talk about maximum traction on the road)
  • 4 - Optima Deep Cycle 12v Batteries
  • Battery access sliding tray
  • 24V
  • 1hp Continuous (a far cry from your usual car but still fun to ride to wherever you’re going)
  • 127RPM
  • Variable Speed
  • 22:1 Gear Ratio
  • Up 10% incline
  • All Weather Design
  • Sand, Sun, Snow, Gravel (now that’s what I call all-road terrain capable)
  • 42" Wide x 42" Long

Now, if you’re looking for something that can drive the kids to school or a car that can fulfill your everyday needs, I suggest taking a look elsewhere. Now, if you’re looking for an awesome day on the road and the capability to live out your childhood war hero dreams, then I suggest you prepare your camouflage shirts and toy guns because with the Tank Chair, you’ll never have to worry about being stuck in traffic anymore.
