Besides, only the universe knows what all doohickies are lying around in your car’s trunk.
So, start by decluttering your car. Glove compartments, your car’s trunk, door pockets are sure to get cluttered. Throw away everything in your car truck except things like a bottle of coolant, jumper cables, duck tape and tyre pressure gauge. Chuck things you kept there and forgot all about it.
