Spider-Man Gadget Holder

without comments

Now, this may not be something that you would want to have in your car with your girlfriend, or even anyone else as a matter of fact, but for any Spider-Man geek, this is a must have essential for your spidey car.

A Spider-Man gadget holder will stick to your windshield by suction and can hold anything from your mobile phone, MP3 player or even food!

You can grab this for only $17!

Unfortunately, maybe fortunately for some people, you won’t get this funky accessory when you go looking for car leasing offers :(

Make your car tell you the speed limit!

without comments

One of the things that annoy me most when I’m taking a trip in my leased car and I have no idea of what the speed limit is because I am new to the local roads.

This problem can now be solved, sort of, Vauxhall has designed a front camera system that will take 30 photographs per second, analyse them, and using photo recognition, find out the speed of the road you are travelling on, admittedly this is not the best way of doing it because it is only good if you miss the sign and if there are no signs on the road then the car cannot tell you.

You would also think that there is a better way to do it, like GPS, however no automaker has come up with any other solutions.

This new system will be released in Vauxhall’s new Insignia sedan, and I can’t wait for it to be released for car leasing!

iPhone almost completes world domination!

without comments

Mercedes Benz has introduced a new gadget for their models, a piece of tech that will integrate an iPhone into a cradle placed between the driver and passenger, this step by Mercedes brings the iPhone a little bit closer to it’s target of world domination.

When the iPhone is in the cradle, the phone can be controlled by the steering wheel, also allow all phone and audio features to be controlled too.

This new added option from Mercedes is being rolled out in August, the pricing of this added extra has not yet been finalized, but around Europe the cradle is going for $389.

I will certainly consider this for when I am looking at car leasing sites for my next new car :)
