Cigarette Lighter And Non-smoker ?

[zelio]

Silly Goose!

Yup! I'm anxious about the number I'm not getting but others are so I have to do something silly to help me relax. Besides, I am on Goofyone withdrawal and he has only been gone 3 days. We have 7 more days to go. I'm not sure how I am going to handle this. It is a serious deprivation. LOL Z

Cigarette lighter can be the difference between living and dying in a cold climate. If you have your emergency winter road kit ( should include: water, large candle for heat, matches or lighter, blanket or sleeping bag, non perishable food, flares, shovel, extra hats, socks, gloves and something to read while waiting to be rescued ) and find your matches are bad or lighter won't work, you can still light your candle with a car cigarette lighter.

I forgot the tow rope or chain and jumper cables.

And water.

And water.

Bert, water's the first thing on the list.

Sure, but you can't have enough water! How else will you keep your onboard coffee maker busy?

You sure like to travel light, Norahsbed!
I remember being a kid in the upper Midwest tearing off into the sub-zero winter night with nothing in the old Volkswagen but the coat I was wearing... It's amazing we survived.

Learned my lesson in a Minnesota winter storm that blew me off the road. I spent the night in a ditch, in my car with only my jacket. I was less than 1 mile from home but never would have made it, if I tried to walk. I had just filled up the gas tank, so I stayed warm, I did have to get out several times to clear snow away from the exhaust pipe. After that night I never went any where without my emergency winter road kit! You can only cheat fate so many times!

I hear you, now I carry so much stuff in my car I could change a transmission.

Add-on cigarette lighter sockets are pretty inexpensive and fairly simple to install - even places like in the engine compartment (or possibly the trunk)...
but then I'm a mechanic and a wireman, so such a project is not any big deal to me.

You or some helper can DO this.

Right on the money. I added a fused one in the trunk of my Miata over the spare tire. If my phone is low on charge, I can leave the phone locked up securely in the trunk whike it sips from the battery. Works great for the little battery powered drink cooler, too.

I need 12V outlets for GPS, XM Radio, High Definition Camera, Radar detector and phone charging. 5 would be nice.
