The Laser Parker
LaserParkerThe LASER PARKER® consists of two Class IIIa laser modules mounted in ball turret, one for each side of a two car garage. It is connected to the courtesy light circuit of any standard garage door opener system using a safe, low voltage(3VDC) transformer and operates each time the garage door opener is activated. The two lasers remain on during the approximately four and one half minute courtesy light cycle. An on indicator light (LED) is provided to verify power to the product and an OFF-ON rocker switch is provided for override shut off. The LASER PARKER® will normally be mounted high (8' - 10') on the back wall of the garage near the ceiling and between the two parking spaces. The lasers are aimed down at a steep angle and set to be visible as a bright but compact red dot on the top surface of the vehicle dashboard or other easily referenced feature. It is from The Laser Parker, Inc.
Garmin's Street Pilot GPS
Street Pilot GPSThe StreetPilot GPS combines satellite tracking technology with detailed electronic maps to bring GARMIN navigation to your automobile. The safety and convenience of knowing where you are anywhere in the world, in any weather, 24 hours a day is as close as your dash. The StreetPilot features a high-performance twelve parallel channel GPS receiver for quick satellite acquisition and reliable signal reception, whether you're under dense tree cover or surrounded by high-rise skyscrapers. A large high-resolution four-level gray scale display offers razor-sharp images, even in direct sunlight—and with GARMIN's new, three-level amber backlighting, navigating in low-light situations is easier than ever. Text and graphics are shown in large type for easy viewing with three-level backlighting for nighttime use. Six AA batteries supply sixteen hours of operation, or you can use an optional cigarette lighter adapter to power the unit. Either way, you can quickly transfer your StreetPilot to another vehicle for continuous pinpoint navigation. The cost of the Street Pilot GPS is about $700 and it's from Garmin.

Vehicle Courtesy System
Vehicle Security SystemIt happens so quickly: you swerve a little, and the guy in the next lane loses it. Maybe he’s just having a bad day, but suddenly he’s taking it out on you, using his car as a lethal weapon. What diffuses road rage? Simple courtesy. That’s why the Envoy is such an important safety accessory for any car. This state-of-the-art, vehicle-to-vehicle messaging system helps ease tension by flashing a gracious "THANK YOU" or a conciliatory "SORRY" to other drivers, amazing them with unexpected courtesy. It can even alert passing motorists to trouble by flashing "HELP". Just mount the Envoy in the rear window, attach the control pad to your dash, and plug it into the cigarette lighter. With the courteous Envoy, you can help keep road rage from ruining.
