The worse the car-cover, the better! - what say friends?

Suggestion is good. But how do we carry that worst cover? It has to be carried inside our car itself no? And I don't think that is a good idea to carry a piece of junk within inside the car always. We may need a neat cover to cover the dirty cover and carry.

just fold it ulta, as in the exterior parts are folded towards inside and the inner side which is clean is out.

And lastly, where is a traffic post without a pic of chaotic Indian traffic!

I feel this one needs to be memorized as if it's a key to a test

There might be some overlap from what's already posted on this thread, though.

@SreeT: the Fuel tank indicator arrow just blew my mind! Thank you very much for that, such a cool hack.

Car: Suzuki swift 2018 model.

I don't know if it's common knowledge but I just found that you can override the beam leveling motor by turning the knob marked in the picture below.



My low beam didn't have enough throw possibly because I've painted the inside of the headlights.

With this knob you can increase or reduce the beam height. The leveling switch/control does work after doing this.

Painted headlights.

I had some (not major) ant infestation in my car. The small black ones, non-biters. Used to wriggle out from nooks, and then later via the ac vent on the dash too.

I tried to place sheets of news papers with spray of household pesticides in side the car, and then a few napthalene balls around. Neither worked.

Finally sprayed diesel into the crevices, and nooks. Dont know where the ants disappeared - have not had anything blown up thru the a/c vents. No un-wanted smells either.

Reason for picking diesel was that we use it to even clean painted surfaces.
