We figured out how to get the car in the garage. Now, how do we get the car exhaust smell out of the clothes?

This was the only way we could get the new EV far enough into the garage for the charging cable to reach the socket.

New smart appliances, folks! IoT is the future! Set it and forget it! When it's done, it will summon you!

(Did you see the thread "Smarter Devices Can Sometimes Cause Dumb Problems "?)

Fed up with transferring your supermarket shop from the car to the Kitchen? Get this new car with separate storage sections, including refrigerated section: for all your groceries.

Make space in your kitchen for all your other appliances, by getting rid of your fridge and grocery cupboard.

When I told her the car needed washing, I didn't think she'd try to use the machine!
