Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do Inside Your Car

Ever since cars became widely available for the public, they became more than just a means of transport. Cars became a modern symbol of America. Just like teenagers in George Lucas’s “American Graffiti,” we still cruise around, enjoying life in many different ways.

No matter if we drive while listening to music or are purely enjoying speed on a highway, we can do all sorts of things instead of just going from A to B. Check these car tips you could use while alone or with friends when riding your trusty wheels!

Karaoke

We’re sure you’ve seen all those celebrities singing along with that annoying chubby British guy by now. Yup, we’re talking about “Carpool Karaoke” on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” All jokes aside, that’s a pretty neat idea. There’s nothing cooler than when a song everyone loves starts playing on the radio.

Of course, you don’t have to sit around and wait for that particular tune to start. You can always make yourself a playlist and impress others.

Picnic

There’s nothing better than escaping work with a nice weekend road trip. Driving around the countryside, you’ll rest both your body and mind. And what better way is there to relax than to go on an old-school picnic? Taking your friends or family for a peaceful meal in nature is one of the most enjoyable ways to spend your free time.

By packing food, drinks, and other accessories in your grocery bag, you’ll forget all about your troubles. It’s a way of letting your mind escape from all the dull and mundane activities. It’s an old trick, but it still works. Just be careful and don’t forget you shouldn’t drink before driving!

How do you pack the perfect picnic? Learn it here.

Nap Time

Sleeping in cars is actually a thing. People tend to rest inside of them if they don’t want to crash at someone else’s house. It’s undoubtedly more comfortable than a couch or the floor.

You can lower the seats and make yourself comfy in no time. It’s so easy to make your car into bed, so why not do it? And resting inside your vehicle isn’t solely restricted to nighttime. You can take a relaxing nap anytime you feel like it.

When you’re filled with stress, running around the house, not knowing what to do, just enter your car. Go inside, close the windows, keep the windshield wipers off, close your eyes, and try to nap.

Car Cinema

Just like in the good old days, taking your partner or date to a drive-through cinema is still popular. It’s all the rage with the new-wave of hipsters, trying to emulate those old-school Americana tropes like vinyl and checkered shirts. Nonetheless, it’s a cool way to spend your night.

In a sea of other cars and people, you and your co-driver can enjoy an old classic the way people did back in the day. Some popcorn, a soda or two, and you are all set for the big silver screen. Moreover, it’s a perfect way to get down on someone. (wink-wink)

Pre-Game Drinks

Another cool car hack is drinking in the parking lot before a game. No matter if you’re going to see an NBA or NFL match, getting tipsy with your posse beforehand is something everybody tried at least once. Yup, the game’s cool and all, but hanging out in the parking lot before it is even better.

Of course, there always needs to be a sober person there to drive you home. Safe driving is essential, so don’t hammer yourself and sit in front of the steering wheel. Place some cup holders inside, choose your poison, and have some fun.

Meditate

Driving around in big cities with all the traffic is one of the most frustrating things you could experience. The packed boulevards and small streets are what nightmares for drivers consist of.

But what if we told you that your car doesn’t need to be an object associated with rush hour? Yes, your car can be your yoga palace. After all, driving tips are overrated if they don’t mention something to help relieve you from traffic stress.

Like taking a nap, going inside your car is a perfect place to find peace. By shutting the car door, disregarding the speed limits and traffic signs, you’ll be able to fully commit yourself to meditation and other stress-relieving practices.
