When you buy a car you start a new relationship. Your car helps you drive wherever you go and carry your things. It is your friend.

However, this friendship can become a pain. Spilled drinks, door dings, and expensive maintenance are only a few things that you can face.

But if you use these common lifehacks you will have a better relationship with your car.

Organize your trunk!
The trunk of your car is an organizer. Buy a few laundry baskets to fill the space and use each of them for the items which belong together. For example, for gym equipment, you can use one basket, for grocery shopping the other one and so on.

Use lights to find your car
It's quite easy to lose your car at big parking lots at a stadium or a mall. Don't listen to your car's signals. Just use your head and keep an eye out for the flashing lights. It's easier to locate your car by them.

Use shoes for coffee cups
Two cupholders are often not enough. As a result, someone will definitely spill his mug of tea or coffee. So, put your shoes between the seats and set your cup inside.

Use your seat to warm up food
A microwave is okay, but isn't it better to bring take-out meals warm? If you have a seat warmers in your car turn them on and place the food on top. If you choose a microwave though, you can also buy it on Swapix Nigeria.

Buy stockings for your wiper blades
If your wiper blades are worn out and it's time to buy new ones you can prolong their life. Buy a pair of women's stockings and wrap them around the wiper arm. Otherwise, it will scratch your window glass.

Keep stockings in your car
Stockings can also help you if your timing belts are broken. All you will need is to safely stop your car and tie the stockings around the engine's pulleys following the path. It must be enough to get to a car service or home to install a new timing belt.

Clean headlights with a toothpaste
In a long journey and as time passes the headlights of your car get cloudy and scuffed up. That doesn't look good, does it? Take a clean rag and smear a little bit of toothpaste on it. Then just scrub the headlights. It will fill any tiny scratches and will clear the headlights.

Pool noodles are not for pools only

Use your shoe as a cupholder... Yeah, I constantly carry around spare shoes just in case I might need them. Along with a fresh pair of underpants. You know, just in case.
