In this capitalist world of ours, wackier and wackier
products hit the market every day. Just take a look through some of the most
popular current campaigns on Indiegogo. You have (vegan-friendly) glow-in-the-dark
sneakers, foldable baseball cap bike
helmets, whatever this
thing is that calls itself a chair… You also have a bunch of dubious tech
promising to boost brain functioning. In other words, there is a lot of cool
stuff out there for you to buy once you have fulfilled the lower levels of
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
One such cool product is the Lanmodo car tent. I first heard about this neat idea a couple of years ago when I saw a video go viral on Facebook. Hundreds of thousands of Facebook users were liking and commenting on the video, meaning that I was apparently missing out. It took me a couple of years to get my hands on one myself, but that may have been for the better, since it seems the innovative car umbrella has had some improvements in the last couple turns around the sun.
If you want to waste a lazy afternoon at work, spend some time on YouTube watching reviews of the Lanmodo car tent. There are a TON of them, and most of them feature some level of people throwing heavy objects on top of the tent to test if it protects the top of the car. From tires to bricks, the Lanmodo car tent comes through. Honestly, this thing is worth buying just to be able to do that yourself.
If you live in fear that your car will be pelted with heavy
objects from the heavens, the Lanmodo car tent is a must own. Along the same
lines, it is a good buy if you live in an area prone to hailstorms. If your
house doesn’t have a garage or if you are forced to park on the street for some
other reason, this is a fantastic way to protect your vehicle from the
elements. We suffered an historic snowstorm down here in the Tarheel State this
past winter, and I was surprised at how well the Lanmodo tent protected my car.
It saved me from a couple mornings of tedious scraping before heading off to
work.
Lanmodo says that the car tent also works well as a beach
tent, which, admittedly, is a functionality I have yet to try. Check back in a
couple months, and I will be sure to let you all know!
Do you need the Lanmodo car tent? Depends on where you live and how much you are willing to spend on keeping your car in good condition. If you aren’t too worried about it, a $30 car cover will do the trick of keeping your car free of rain and bird droppings. On the other hand, the Lanmodo car tent also promises to keep your car cool during the dog days of summer. In sum, there are many reasons to buy the Lanmodo car tent. So, hey, might as well try it out. What are you saving your money for anyway?
