Admittedly, since I found this on a site called “China Grabber“, this is probably going to be the lowest kind of knockoff goods, but I’m just here to tell you about stuff.
It’s the Wireless Car MP3 Player with FM transmitter, and it’s actually not a terrible idea.
For some of us with older cars that have cassette players, we all know that sometimes you can’t use those cassette adapters to hook in your MP3 or CD or whatever player. But this bypasses that idea completely by sending your MP3 signal to an empty FM channel on your radio. It’ll even tell you which by way of a handy dot matrix window on the front.
Sure, it’s not exactly the highest achievement in technology, but hey–for twenty three bucks, if you’re looking for an alternative to radio you may just have it right here.

Let’s face it, folks, our cars STINK.
Fast food, sweaty feet, coffee, and everything else add up to make a pretty unpleasant smell in the car. That whole “new car smell” doesn’t last any too long once you drive it off the lot, and car air fresheners are a joke. In some places they’re even illegal! You can’t have stuff hanging off your rear view mirror! How ridiculous is that?
Well, the folks out at Target have a solution, and for a whole twenty bucks, you too can make your car stop smelling like a stadium restroom. The Ionic Pro Car Ionizer plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter (seems like most everything does these days), and helps recirculate air through a field of negative ions, which in turn neutralizes a lot of the hydrocarbons in the air that cause a stink.
At least I think that’s how it goes; I’m really stretching my electrochemistry history on this one.
But still, for twenty bucks at Target, this isn’t a half bad idea.

Now this is actually six different kinds of awesome right here, folks–now, you all probably remember the last time we brought up the idea of the breathalyzer, how it connected to your steering column and wouldn’t let you drive unless you blew a clean meter?
Well, this one isn’t quite so restrictive, but it IS a lot more portable. It’s the Breathalyzer Keychain, and it is pretty much what it sounds like it is, a Breathalyzer on a key chain. You know we love our key chains out here at Car Buyer’s Notebook, so this is definitely one we had to discuss.
You can actually TRACK your progression throughout the night, seeing what makes you drunker as you go, or trying to see how many pretzels it takes to drop your blood alcohol content. I look for something like this to become the focus of dozens of bar contests as people bet on who’s drunker, or what somebody’s blood alcohol content is.
Best off, they’re not too pricey, either. You can get one of these for as little as fifteen bucks.
