dalemiller+FollowCar Gimmicks You’ll Regret Paying ForCar makers are getting wild with features, but not all of them are worth your cash. Fake engine noises in EVs? Just for show. Built-in karaoke? Fun once, then forgotten. And those spa-like massage seats and scent diffusers? Only work when parked—who’s got time for that? Don’t fall for the hype—these flashy extras are more about bragging rights than real value. #Cars #CarFeatures #CarHacks20Share
Traci Keller+FollowThe Warm Water Car Hack You Need to KnowEver tried defrosting your car with warm water? One driver swears by filling an old spray bottle with lukewarm (not hot!) water and spritzing it over the windshield—ice melts in seconds, no pricey de-icer needed. But here’s the catch: using water that’s too hot can crack your glass, especially if you’ve got any chips. Stick to lukewarm and save your windshield (and your wallet) this winter! #Transportation #CarHacks #WinterTips00Share

Leah Pierce+FollowVaseline Car Hack Fail: Don't Try This!That viral TikTok hack where people rub Vaseline all over their car dashboards? Hard pass! It might look shiny at first, but it actually attracts dust and leaves a sticky mess that’s super hard to clean. Even worse, if your car sits in the sun, the Vaseline can trap heat and crack your dashboard over time. Sometimes shortcuts just aren’t worth it—stick to proper car cleaners! #Cars #CarCare #CarHacks3810Share
Lauren Cooper+FollowStop Warming Up Your Car Like It’s 1985Still letting your car idle for 10 minutes on freezing mornings? Turns out, that old-school move is actually worse for your engine and wallet. Modern cars only need about 30 seconds before you can drive off—just enough time to buckle up and clear the windows. Driving gently warms things up way faster and cuts down on fuel waste and pollution. Time to ditch the driveway idling and save your ride (and the air)! #Transportation #CarHacks #WinterDriving1118Share
Michael Wilson+FollowWinter Storm Hack Gone Wrong?That viral WD-40 trick to keep your car doors from freezing? Turns out, it might do more harm than good. Locksmiths are warning that spraying WD-40 right on your locks or paint can actually wreck your car over time, leading to sticky locks and pricey repairs. If you’re desperate, use a tiny bit on a cloth for the door seals—but pros say silicone spray or graphite grease are way safer bets. Don’t let a winter hack freeze you out! #Cars #WinterStorm #CarHacks00Share
