Easiest and Cheapest Car Signs for Ad, Celebration, or Protest

https://youtu.be/YFYD4lg_kxc

If you want to advertise your business or are in a car caravan celebration or protest, you may consider buying car stickers, car decals, or car magnets, but a lot of times these events are one-time events  — you may not need the signs afterward, and you don’t want to damage your car.  So here are the easiest and cheapest ways to put up your signs. 

This DIY idea is very quick, simple, cheap, causes no damage to your car and there is no clean up afterwards. Just recycle your cardboard and reuse your shoelaces!

Also, although it may seem quite unrelated, this same technique used for hanging signs can be employed  in the winter to reduce overnight ice buildup on your windshield, so check out our other video which discusses that topic: https://youtu.be/Sv-UbOkAy_U

Easy 3-Step Parallel Parking With 3 Simple Markers


For new drivers, parallel parking is considered to be the hardest skill. For non-new drivers, the problem is not remembering how to do it when it is needed. Or you may not have the confidence to do it in one shot.

Mathematically, there is only a single fixed solution to parallel parking. If you follow the instructions exactly, there should be no variations and anyone should be able to complete the parking in one shot without hesitation. When you have a problem, either you are not following the instructions correctly and precisely or more commonly the instructions were not precise and were hard to interpret. Today I am giving you the shortest and very precise instructions in just 3 steps. Instead of using common phrases such “knowing your 4 wheels” or “don’t collide front, back, left or right”, I am providing you with 3 easy to understand and well-aligned markers to follow while you are inside the car driving. The video is a little long because I want to demonstrate multiple times and I want to explain the concept well so that you will never forget. Once you learn it, you’ll be good for life.

I understand that some of you may have your own preferred set of instructions, and may have already mastered the art of parallel parking. However, teaching someone else is quite a different thing! I have spent a year in researching and producing this video, so I would appreciate any comments that let me know if the concept in this video is good or not.

Use Cell Phone With Free Data Plan As GPS

I paid a total of $25 plus tax and got a free data plan along with some free voice and text. The voice has some echo, so I am only using the data plan as my gps in the car. The service is from freedompop. If you have your own Sprint cell phone, you may pay $20 to use the “Bring Your Own Device” program, a little cheaper than what I paid (I don’t have a unused Sprint cell phone lying around). Even though freedompop does not promote their free data plan service as much, I will show you how to downgrade your plan to get the free service.

I will also show you my cheap and simple way to attach the cell phone in the car. Thought it does not look glamorous, this is one of the most practical and useful life hacks. Please subscribe especially when you need ideas or inspiration. Also please leave comments below, and share your own DIY results (we understand this DIY result may not look the best, hope your inspired result would be better looking 🙂 For other ways to mount your cell phone or gps, please check out this video:

One more note: the free data plan is not an unlimited data plan, so you still need to watch your quota. Also you are getting something free or cheap, so don’t expect the best support.
