The Secret To Stress-Free Parking

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 by Casey

If you had the choice between parking your car yourself or letting someone (or something!) else do it, what would you choose?

We’re all looking for ways to make our lives a bit easier these days.  Most of us are taking advantage of any little luxuries we can find, including on-board gizmos in our vehicles.  (Remember the steering wheel desk?)

The car manufacturer Lexus introduced a “self-parking” feature a few years ago on their LS 460 L model, which some self-styled comedians over at Automobile Magazine Online had some fun with in this video we stumbled across.

Now, a car that parks itself sounds like a great idea, but not everyone has the capital to spend on a geeked-out vehicle for the super-rich.  Did you know, however, that if you’re in need of airport parking but your funds are in a pinch you can still have a car that virtually parks itself?

Booking a Meet and Greet parking service is the ultimate in convenience, whether you’re travelling with the family, toting loads of luggage or just want to treat yourself and feel like a VIP.  You’ll be met at your departure terminal where a professional driver will collect your vehicle and take it to a secure compound, allowing you to proceed directly to check-in.  Then, when you return from your trip, your car will be waiting for you outside the terminal so you can make a quick getaway.

On gosimply.com, you’ll find meet and greet services providing Manchester Airport parking, Birmingham Airport parking, and parking for just about every major airport in the UK.  So next time you’re jetting off on holiday or a business trip, check out the meet and greet parking on offer and find out what it’s like to have a car that “parks itself”.

How to Crash Your Car in 1 Easy Step

You know when you stumble across something on the Internet that makes you say, “Gees, who thought of that?” and you can’t wait to let everyone you know about your discovery?

Innovative and convenient - the Laptop Steering Wheel Desk

gosimply HQ was all abuzz recently about the amazingly impractical Laptop Steering Wheel Desk, as seen on Amazon.com.  Not only is it an “instant ergonomic desk” (just add water?), but it stores easily under or behind your car seat.  It is arguably the most groundbreaking (and car smashing) new product to come along in donkey’s years.

You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s only for use when your vehicle is stationary though.  Hundreds of Amazon customers have offered suggestions for using the amazing Laptop Steering Wheel Desk that don’t require a rest stop.

One helpful reviewer suggests using it as a “mini-bar” to prepare tequila shots for yourself and your friends as you travel from one bar to the next.  Yet another suggests that using this innovative product has enabled him to translate the Magna Carta from Latin into LOLCat much faster than would be possible without it, since he’s able to work on it during his two-hour commute to and from his job.

Time-saving, productivity-enhancing and convenient.  What more could anyone want from a laptop accessory?
