Power Door Locks—This must save the average person countless minutes of checking and rechecking their car when leaving it in a dubious part of the city or their own driveway for that matter. Of course, you can also be thankful for not having to listen to your other half complain about freezing their knickers off in the cold while you reach across the car to pop the lock.

Yes, small cars and trucks have forever been made more “livable” now that you can maneuver them with ease during Black Friday’s chaotic parking lot adventures. Its good during other times of the year too.
