Cupholder
Duct tape isn’t just for Red Green types with an obsession for taping anything and everything. Maybe your car only has one functional cupholder or you simply end up having a collection of thermoses in your cabin due to your on-the-go lifestyle. A roll of duct tape should be heavy enough to provide a makeshift anchor for your cup of coffee the next time you need a spare cupholder.

Windshield Dehumidifier
Does your windshield tend to fog up during early morning or late night drives? Fill a sock with kitty litter and secure the end with a rubber band. Place the sock on your dashboard to help soak up the interior moisture of your vehicle and keep the front window clear.
