Most of us spend half our lives driving from point A to point B. Yet the only “upgrades” you will find in most cars over time are discarded wrappers and the odd football bobblehead.
Instead of pimping your ride with unwanted garbage, try these five essential accessories that will actually improve your driving experience.
1) ExoMount Touch universal car mount
Daily Dot store
This car mount holds any regular-size smartphone on your dash for GPS or hands-free calling. You can mount your phone with one hand, and the grip rotates through 360 degrees. The ExoMount uses a strong suction cup to stay attached, so it can be used anywhere. Get yours now for $19.99 to save 33 percent off.
2) DashCam hi-res car video recorder and camera
Daily Dot store
The DashCam continuously records HD footage of every mile you drive in case of accident. The recorder can either loop over older footage, or start rolling when it senses a jerk (of the crashing kind). The supplied memory card holds up to two hours of video. Get the DashCam now for $26.99, and save 71 percent off.
3) Car plug-in air purifier

Instead of masking nasty smells with chemical perfume, this air purifier actually filters out odor and pollution. You simply plug it into your car’s outlet to lose the smell of smoke and pets, along with allergens such as pollen and dust. Order it now for $16.99, saving 80 percent off the regular price.
