Yes, you may know how to operate your vehicle. You may not have even read your car’s manual, but you do know how to work the wipers, AC, and the radio, as well as the hazard lights. Hopefully, you also know how to change your vehicle’s tires.

However, what you don’t seem to realize is that all you need are these simple yet totally life-changing car hacks, which we’re certain you wouldn’t find in any car manual. We’ve got you covered for every minor to major annoyance, and you can be certain that these tips will make your life easier.

Got an unpleasant dent on the side of your car? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Dents are pretty common and, regardless of what you think, they’re actually pretty easy to fix. All you need to do is boil water in a teapot or saucepan, pour the hot water over the dent, then take the plunger and pull…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

And if your headlights are foggy, don’t rush to the nearest auto store for a special solution. You might already have something at home to solve your problem: toothpaste. It turns out toothpaste works just as well on headlights as it does on teeth because it contains mild abrasives that clean enamel.

There’s no need to break your fingers trying to fit a new set of keys onto your clumsy metal keyring. Simply use a staple remover to separate the end pieces and slide them in. It’s so simple that we’re sure you’re wondering why you’ve never considered it before. Do you often hit your door on the side of your garage every time you get out? A simple solution is to cut a pool noodle in half and tape it to the

wall where the door swings open. The scuff mark should make it easy enough to tell. You can use bolts or simple command strips to secure it, but your car and your wall will be safe in either case.

This may appear to be some strange, witchy trick, but it’s actually quite simple and logical. When you park your car facing the sun in the morning, the sun’s rays will defrost your front windshield first. You’ll never have to wait for the defroster to warm up again if you leave for work after the sun rises.

You might have heard the phrase “use Coke to clean” a million times, but a solution of cola and dish detergent will remove all the road grime and brake dust from your rims and leave them gleaming. Some people are concerned that the soda will simply make things stickier, but the detergent you add prevents any buildup.

When your car’s paint gets a small scratch or chip, it usually isn’t worth the money to have it professionally repaired. Of course, the drawback is that you’ll be driving around with unsightly scratches on your vehicle. We bet you didn’t realize you could do it yourself. Only a smidgen of nail polish is required, but if you can match the paint on your car fairly closely, a little bit of nail polish will hide the scratches well enough that no one will notice them unless they are looking for them.

When you need to look at your GPS but don’t have a co-pilot to hold it up for you, and don’t have one of those window or air vent holders to hold your phone, it’s extremely inconvenient and potentially dangerous. It’s actually quite simple to accomplish the same thing with a rubber band. The tension will hold it up if you loop it through a couple of vents in your center console and around the top and bottom of your phone.

Have you ever had to stand there in the summer and air out your suffocatingly hot car just enough so that you can breathe? Simply roll down the passenger side window and open and close the driver’s side door quickly for a few seconds to speed up the process. This creates a fanning effect, removing all the hot, stale air from your vehicle and allowing fresh air to enter.

Don’t waste money on air fresheners that only last a few days, such as clip-on or over-the-mirror air fresheners. A box of dryer sheets lasts much longer, is less obtrusive, and effectively absorbs odors. You can get them scented or unscented, and they’ll keep your car smelling good for months.

Place an empty laundry basket in the trunk the next time you go grocery shopping. You can then fill the basket with bags when you get home, reducing the number of trips back and forth to the car, easily making your grocery trips a lot easier.

Having trouble parking in your garage? Well, good thing we are here to assist you. Gauging just how far forward you’ve pulled into your garage may not be a piece of cake for everyone. All you need to do is simply tie a string with a hanging tennis ball on the ceiling of your garage. If it rests on your windshield when you’ve driven in far enough, you’ll never have to guess again. Accuracy at its finest.

Get yourself prepared for the winter months with yet another hack. You don’t ever have to waste time in the mornings trying to thaw out your windshield wipers. All you need is an old pair of socks. Simply put them over each wiper in the evening so by the time morning comes and you’re ready to start the day, your windshield wipers will no longer be packed with ice or stuck to your windshield.

For people who live in areas where it tends to get super cold in the winter, this hack will definitely be appreciated. Being familiar with having to defrost your car in the mornings is no joke. Why not try this one? Trust us, it works. Instead of pouring water over your windshield, mix it with some vinegar. Then mix it together in a spray bottle and spray it onto your windows. The vinegar helps burn through the ice much quicker, and with a spray bottle, you’ll be able to apply the mixture evenly to avoid icy patches blocking your view.

This next tip is not so much a hack, but a super helpful piece of advice. If you’re driving on an open road at a speed of at least 65 km/h and your tire blows, do not brake. Although this may be instinctive, try your best to resist the urge. Why, you may ask? Well, if you hit the brakes, you’re going to fishtail and possibly lose control of your car, which could see you crashing into absolutely anything. Instead, you should keep your foot on the accelerator. Sounds strange, we know, but this will help you regain control of your car and steer straight on the road. A few seconds should do the trick.

This one is more of a warning than a hack. Having too many keys or keychains can actually damage the ignition switch, which means that over time your car will not start as easily as it should. Experts recommend that you have a maximum of three keys or keychains on your bunch. However, if you begin to notice tightness or your key locking while it’s in the ignition, then it’s best to take it to the dealer as soon as possible. Otherwise, before you know it, it will end up costing you a lot of money.

The air conditioning in your car is a major blessing on a freezing cold day, as well as during the sweltering hot summer days. However, what most people tend to forget is just how important it is to clean the air vents in the car. One of the best ways to clean them from the inside is to take a foam brush. Usually, you can find them in your local hardware store. Gently clean each panel. Not only will this keep your air conditioning fresh and dirt-free, but it is much healthier for everyone in the car.

For generations, Vaseline has been one of the best lifesavers, not just for colds and flu but actually for basically anything and everything. Did you ever think of using it for the interior of your car? When it comes to a vinyl or leather interior, smear some Vaseline onto a cloth or cotton wool and rub it over the car. That way, you’ll prevent the leather from cracking. You can also rub the Vaseline on the rubber door seals to prevent them from freezing during the winter.

Has it ever occurred to you that the reason why your air conditioner isn’t so strong anymore is that the air isn’t actually circulating in your car? All you need to do is pop the hood and get out the air filters. They probably just need a good clean with a vacuum to get all the junk caught in and out. An alternative is to spray the filter with a cleaning solution such as Clean Green, let it soak in, and then rinse it off with water. Also, make sure they are completely air-dried before placing them back in.

If you’re a parent, you’ve probably already mastered this one. If not, it’s pretty simple. Always keep baby wipes in your car, even if you don’t have small babies. They are super useful for sweating hands to wiping stains. You just never know what type of cleaning emergency could arise during a car trip. All in all, they are really handy. Trust us, we highly recommend this great tip.

You would think that when young teenagers begin to learn how to drive, they will learn this next one, but surprisingly, that is not always the case. The blind spots are on the sides of your vehicle that you can’t conventionally see unless you crane your head back, and yes, they are so important. There is a smart way to adjust your mirrors to neutralize any and all blind spots.

What is the trick? Adjust your side mirrors further out to the point where you can’t view your own car. In doing so, your view of the sides overlaps with the image in your rearview mirror, thereby eliminating any and all blind spots from your point of view.

Has the surface of your dashboard begun to show signs of wear and tear? Do not be concerned. This is a straightforward solution. You’ll find the

solution to this problem in the kitchen cupboard, I promise you. Take a bottle of olive oil and use it to polish the interior of the dashboard. This will restore it to its former pristine and gleaming condition.

Keep a vehicle maintenance log if you haven’t already. If you haven’t already, now is an excellent time to start. This is a convenient way to view the health and history of your vehicle in one convenient location. The last time your tires were replaced or the last time your coolant and other fluids were checked should not be a mystery to you. Keeping an accurate and consistent maintenance log is the best way to ensure that you are completely aware of what is going on.

One of the most important pieces of advice that every car owner should be aware of is what to keep in their glove box. People tend to keep their manuals and other documentation in their homes, but it actually serves a much more important function. The roadside hero and the ultimate auto emergency kit, for example, are both small enough to fit into the glove box of your vehicle without taking up much space. Consequently, the items you require are always within arm’s reach when you need them.

If your car smells bad, it detracts from the overall driving experience, not only for you but for everyone else as well, making it uncomfortable to provide a ride to someone. With the help of baking soda, you can once again be proud of your clean car after it has absorbed and neutralized the noxious fumes

\At the husband’s funeral woman notices, notes, sticking out of his pocket and quietly pulls them out. Christy believed she was in a loveless marriage, as her husband would always be drowning in work and never had time for her. In the end, she realized her husband loved her more than anything in the world, but it was too late.

Christy and alex had been married for 10 years and had no children together. Instead, they were focused on each other’s careers and it ended up taking a toll on their relationship during special occasions like Valentine’s Day, and their anniversary, alex and Christy would always head out to a simple dinner at a restaurant…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Instead of thinking these dinners were romantic. Christy would often find it more of a routine as it’d be the same thing happening year after year, Christy always dreamed of traveling the world and experiencing new cultures as they didn’t have children.

She thought this would be possible and they could strengthen their relationship through these travels. However, alex would always turn down her trip proposal saying they were expensive and unnecessary. He insisted on saving up for the future, so they could go on these trips once they’ve retired.

Eventually, Christy fell out of love. She felt her life was routine and that she would simply go home and eat to make matters worse. Alex was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that numbered his days, making it difficult for Christy to leave him one day while she was headed home from work, Christy received a call from the hospital. Mrs. Carson, your husband is not in good condition. It’s best.

You head over here immediately the nurse said. Admittedly, the thought of alex dying, so young still broke Christy’s heart and made her stomach twist, while she felt their love was stagnant and had no spark. He was still her husband, with whom she spent most of her adolescent years with she drove to the hospital trying to hold back her tears.

She started to think about where it all went wrong and how things could have changed if they both just tried harder. As a couple when Christy got to the hospital alex was connected to several machines and could hardly speak, however, he still tried his best to speak to Christy, to let her know how he truly felt Christy.

He started to say. I know I didn’t get to prove this to you, but I want you to know that I love you more than anything in the world. I realized at one point that this love might not be mutual between us. He shared slowly as he had a hard time. Breathing, I do love you Christy, and I didn’t expect to leave this world so early.

I had so many things planned for us. He said searching for Christy’s hand she reached out and held on to him as he continued to speak. These are my last hours and there’s nothing more I’d like than to spend them with you and when I die I’d like to bring a piece of you with me. So please and my funeral – please put something in my pocket yours so that I can keep it forever at this point. Christy was in tears, even though she fell out of love with alex she still loved him and considered him a great part of her life. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

I promise to do that alex. Don’t you worry about me too I’ll take care of myself, so you rest easy and watch over me from up there. Okay, I’m glad you don’t need to be in pain for much longer. She assured him alex nodded as he continued to hold Christy’s hand. If it’s not too much to ask, would it be all right if I was buried in my favorite blue suit?

You know which one that is. He asked christy nodded her head, of course, but don’t think about that now: let’s just enjoy these moments together. Okay, she said trying her best to smile for the next couple of hours. Christy sat beside alex. They listened to music reminisced about their younger days and sometimes sat in silence simply enjoying each other’s company.

That night alex slowly drifted to sleep and never woke up goodbye alex. Thank you. Christy whispered, as he flatlined tears, fell from her eyes and she wept quietly as the doctors and nurses started, taking out the wires connected to his body at his funeral. She approached him one last time and carefully put her locket in his coat pocket. The locket was significant because it was the first-ever gift alex gave her when they were still in college and had one of their first photos together in it.

I wish to remember you for our good times and not for what happened late in our marriage. Thank you for the wonderful years alex she said to him quietly as she placed the locket inside the pocket. She noticed a piece of paper inside and carefully pulled it out for Christy. It read in Alex’s handwriting. She had never seen it before but realized it.

Alex must have anticipated his death before placing it there. She decided to read it later and put it inside the pocket that night when she got home, she prepared herself to read the note. There alex wrote dear christy, I’ve loved you all my life and I’m glad that it’s you I chose to spend the rest of my life with I’m sorry that in the process of wanting to prove my love to you, I forgot to live in the present and Because of that somewhere along the way we became distant, I remember when we were younger you’d talk about your lifelong dream, of putting up a cafe by the ocean where you’d bake your delicious cake recipes and serve hearty meals to customers. I never forgot about this so every day that was my motivation to work so hard. I am sorry that it took up all of my time that I neglected you in the process.

I was so close to watching you fulfill this dream Christy in my safe there’s a bank passbook under your name. There I’ve saved up enough money for you to open your business, there’s also an envelope in there with documents for the purchase of a plot of land. With a small cottage overlooking the sea, this is where you can put up your cafe. I didn’t plan to leave the earth so early. I wanted to open this cafe with you.

I’M sorry. I won’t be there with you as you make this a reality but know that I’m always with you in mind and spirit. I love you with all my heart, eternally alex after reading the note Christy was in tears for the longest time. She believed alex simply didn’t care about her or their relationship. She regretted not speaking to him about their issues and not working it out when she still had time, I’m sorry for letting go so quickly, alex christy sobbed to herself.

I wish I could turn back time. She cried that night. She prayed to alex the entire time speaking to him about his regrets and wishes. Although it took her some time to get over his death, she slowly got back on her feet and started planning the cafe opening as it was. What alex would have wanted after a couple of months, she was ready to finally launch her cafe.

My 22-Year-Old Son Threatens to Leave the House and Go Live With My Ex-Husband Unless I Buy Him a Car

My son is Michael. He had just turned 22 last month, and I thought we had passed the turbulent teenage years. Little did I know, a storm was brewing right under my nose.

While I was preparing lunch in the kitchen, Michael stormed in, his face twisted with frustration…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

“Mom, we need to talk,” he said, his tone unusually serious.

I turned to him, and said. “Sure, what’s on your mind, honey?”

He leaned against the counter, arms folded. “I need a car.”

I paused, taken aback. “A car? What happened to your part-time job? You were saving up for one.”

Michael let out an exasperated sigh. “I know, but it’s taking forever to save up, and I really need it now.”

I frowned, wiping my hands on a kitchen towel. “Michael, cars are expensive. You know that. Besides, you have a job, you can save up a bit more and—”

Impatient, he cut me off, “No, Mom, I can’t wait anymore. All my friends have cars, and I’m tired of depending on you for rides or taking the bus. I need my freedom.”

I felt frustrated, saying “Michael, I understand, but we can’t just afford to buy you a car out of the blue. It’s not that simple.”

He clenched his jaw, his eyes narrowing. “Well, maybe I’ll just go live with Dad then. He’ll buy me a car.”

His words hit me like a ton of bricks.

David, my ex-husband, always tried to buy Michael’s affection instead of being a responsible parent. I couldn’t believe Michael would even suggest such a thing.

“Michael, you can’t just threaten to leave because you’re not getting what you want,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm.

“Why not? Dad would be happy to have me. He always spoils me,” he retorted, his tone defiant.

I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts, “This isn’t about your dad. It’s about responsibility. You’re an adult now, and part of being an adult is making responsible decisions.”

He rolled his eyes, “Yeah, responsible decisions like being the only one among my friends without a car.”

Though our conversation ended there, the tension lingered in the air. I couldn’t shake off the feeling of disappointment and worry.

The following days were filled with silent treatments and tension between Michael and me. Every time I tried to bring up the topic, it ended in arguments.

One evening, we sat down for dinner, and I decided to try again.

“Michael, can we talk about the car situation again?” I asked, cautiously.

He sighed, poking at his food, “What’s there to talk about, Mom? You still won’t buy me one.”

“It’s not just about buying you a car, Michael. It’s about the way you’re handling this whole situation,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

He looked up, his expression defensive, “What do you mean?”

“I mean, threatening to leave if you don’t get what you want is not how adults handle things. It’s not fair to manipulate me like that,” I explained, feeling a mix of frustration and sadness.

He shrugged, “I’m just tired of waiting. Dad would understand.”

“Dad isn’t here, Michael. And buying you a car won’t solve everything. What about the expenses that come with it? Insurance, maintenance…” I trailed off, hoping he would understand. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

He remained silent for a moment before pushing his plate away, “Forget it, Mom. You’ll never understand.”

As he left the table, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt, wondering if I was being too harsh or if I was failing as a parent somehow.

Days turned into weeks, and the tension in the house only seemed to escalate. Michael became more distant, spending most of his time out with friends or locked up in his room.

One Saturday morning, I found a note on the kitchen counter:

“Mom, I’m going to stay with Dad for a while. I can’t stand being here anymore. Maybe he’ll understand me better.”

My heart sank as I read the words. I knew this day might come, but I never thought it would happen like this.

I immediately dialed Michael’s number, but it went straight to voicemail. Panic started to rise within me as I tried to think of where David lived now. We hadn’t been in touch for years after the divorce.

After some frantic searching, I managed to find David’s number and dialed it, hoping he would pick up.

“Hello?” David’s voice sounded surprised on the other end.

“David, it’s me, Sarah. I… I need to know if Michael is with you,” I blurted out, trying to keep my voice steady despite the rising panic.

There was a moment of silence before he responded.

“Sarah, what’s going on? Michael isn’t here.”

My heart sank even further. “He left a note saying he’s coming to stay with you. He’s upset because I won’t buy him a car.”

David let out a frustrated sigh, “I had a feeling something like this might happen. Look, I’ll try to talk to him if he shows up, but he can’t just run away from his problems.”

I thanked him before hanging up. Days passed without any word from Michael. I tried calling and texting him, but he didn’t respond. I couldn’t focus on anything, constantly worrying about him.

Then, one evening, there was a knock on the door. My heart leaped into my throat as I rushed to answer it. It was Michael, looking tired and defeated, with a duffle bag slung over his shoulder.

“Mom, can we talk?” he asked, his voice sounding small.

Relief washed over me as I pulled him into a hug, “Of course, come in.”

We sat down in the living room, and Michael began to speak, his voice shaky, “I’m sorry, Mom. I was being stupid.” I squeezed his hand gently, “It’s okay, Michael. I’m just glad you’re back.”

He looked down, avoiding my gaze, “I realize now that running away wasn’t the solution. Dad didn’t even have a clue what I was talking about when I arrived.” I nodded, feeling a mix of sadness and relief, “I’m just glad you’re safe. But we really need to talk about what happened.”

Additionally, we talked. We talked about responsibility, about communication, about the challenges of adulthood. It wasn’t an easy conversation, but it was a necessary one. In the end, Michael understood that getting a car wasn’t just about fulfilling a desire for freedom; it came with responsibilities. And I understood that communication was key, even when things got tough.

Since then, we worked on rebuilding our relationship, stronger than before, knowing that challenges would come, but we would face them together.

Sick Couple Arrested For The Worst Case Of Child Abuse The World Has Ever Seen

Some people do not deserve to be called ‘mom’ or ‘dad.’ Being a parent is the most awesome responsibility! You are in charge of a new human being. They will grow up watching you and learning from you.

How you treat them will be how they treat others. Two infants in Owasso, Oklahoma had bed sores, severe diaper rash, and they were very malnourished…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

The doctors who cared for them said this was the most horrific case of abuse they had ever seen. The two people arrested for the crime on Dec. 10 are Aislyn Miller, 24, and Kevin Fowler, 25.

When police were called, a nurse told them that she had seen a maggot crawl out of one of the baby’s genitals. The other child reportedly had feces in its ear. One of the babies had a wound on her finger that had been caused by a piece of hair being tied around her finger and not being removed.

Miller claimed that she and Fowler were new parents and didn’t know how to take care of babies. She also added that their condition was a result of being born two weeks premature. Miller has no health insurance and doesn’t know how to use the Affordable care act. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Sounds like she is just making up excuses for her own incompetence. There is no way a baby left the hospital with maggots. How does that even happen? Both Fowler and Miller are now in jail, and bail has been set at $100,000.
