Is your glove box a nest of loose receipts, expired documents, and old food wrappers? Whether you keep your glove box clean and tidy or not, it should have the things that can save you a lot of time and hassle. Put this convenient bit of storage space to use with these five items. Antibacterial Hand Wipes Your hands touch so many parts of your interior, it's only right to have something sanitary. Not only are hand wipes nice to use every so often, just as you're leaving or entering your car, but they're also great against drive-thru meals and other sticky situations. Both you and your passengers will appreciate it. If possible, try to get non-scented wipes, so your hands don't reek of lemon or herbs. A simple miniature trash container will make putting away used hand wipes a lot simpler, so look out for one of those as well. There are options that hook behind seats, on doors, or in almost any convenient area. more Standard Tire Pressure Gauge There's no excuse for not having a tire pressure gauge when you really need one, so why not keep one in your glove box? Going fancy is not recommended. A simple, pencil-style tire gauge, without batteries or digital screens, will do the job and determine your PSI just fine. On a related note, remember to check your tire inflation at least once a month. Staying on top of your pressure can improve your gas mileage and save you a lot of money over the course of the year.

A Tacoma is a compact pickup truck that was originally introduced by Toyota in 1995. A decade after the first model was created, it received the "Truck of the Year" award from Motor Trend Magazine. Since then, Toyota has modified the body style twice to improve its handling and make it more appealing to consumers. Customers can select between four models: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited. There are many reasons to drive a Toyota Tacoma. High Safety Ratings When it comes to driving, one of the first things that customers want to know is how the vehicle ranks in safety. In a crash test, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Toyota Tacoma a four-star overall safety rating, with five-star ratings in passenger side barrier and rear seat, side barrier and pole. The truck has a four-wheel anti-lock brake system, child seat anchors, stability and traction control, and tire pressure monitoring for maximum safety. It also has very responsive steering and strong braking capacity for immediate stops. more Comfortable Interior For many truck drivers, comfort isn't the most important feature, since this type of vehicle is typically more focused on utility and function. However, the Toyota Tacoma combines the best of both worlds, with high-quality interior materials that provide a more comfortable ride. It also comes standard with a premium sound system, which includes smartphone integration, a large touch screen, Bluetooth capacity, and a rearview backup camera. If you prefer the luxurious feel of leather, that is also an optional upgrade. Top-Notch Performance A Toyota Tacoma has a standard four-cylinder engine with the option to upgrade to a V-6 engine for maximum power. With an automatic transmission, the Tacoma has an estimated fuel efficiency of 19/23 miles per gallon, which is similar to the efficiency of other trucks in the class. The V-6 engine drops the numbers only slightly to 16/21 city/highway. Simplified Towing On the V-6 engine model, customers can upgrade to the tow package that includes a class IV tow hitch, oil and transmission coolers, stronger battery, trailer sway control, and more. With this added upgrade, the Toyota Tacoma can tow as much as 6,500 pounds with no problem. Even without the tow package, the spacious 73.5-inch cargo bed simplifies the process of toting around equipment, supplies, and anything else you need to take with you in the truck. Improved Exterior The changes between newer and older models aren't huge, but they do improve the overall look and feel of the truck. An upgraded grille and new headlights look appealing from the front, while the rear end of the truck features a new shape. It also has revised wheel arches and sleeker lines, which drivers will appreciate. Whether you are looking for a functional pickup to drive to and from a construction site or a sturdier vehicle that will handle well in snowy and icy conditions, the Toyota Tacoma is a great choice within the compact pickup department. Its features make it easy to handle while providing the stability that truck drivers need.   Image via Toyota

Driving a Toyota Prius is a good way to save on gas while lessening your environmental impact. However, some car shoppers aren't sure whether the Prius is the right choice based on the way they drive, which typically includes shorter distances more often. Efficient Driving Capacity Not only does a Toyota Prius offer better efficiency than other cars, it actually shows you how efficiently you are driving. Monitors on the display indicate the present mileage per gallon, along with how much energy you are saving by accelerating more gently or applying the brakes. It is easy to know exactly how efficient your car is when you can hear it switch to the electric motor. more Improved Fuel Capacity in the City Unlike most cars, which have better gas mileage on the highway, a Toyota Prius actually gets better mileage when driving shorter distances, such as between home and work within a city. When you press the brake, the motion actually creates more electricity that is then reused when the car accelerates quickly or is driving at lower speeds. Some estimates show that a Prius can go an estimated 50 miles per gallon or more in the city, even in stop-and-go traffic. Quiet and Smooth When you drive a Prius, you might not even realize that it's running when you are making your way around town. Between all the city noises, from horns honking to sirens blaring, it is nice to have a vehicle that doesn't make as much noise. It is almost silent when running on the electric motor and is still fairly quiet when the gasoline motor engages. Save Money As a city-dweller, you probably have a lot of extra expenses, so it's nice to cross one off your list. A Toyota Prius typically doesn't require a state emissions test, although certain states have different requirements. Similar to other Toyota vehicles, the Prius is also very durable and won't require a lot of maintenance. This is especially appealing to those living in bigger cities who often don't have time for lengthy repairs. Stay Warm A lot of people who live in bigger cities reside in apartments or buildings for multiple families, which results in more frequent street parking. On a cold winter morning, you often have to wait for quite awhile before your car warms up and feels comfortable. The Prius stores coolant in an insulated container, which keeps it warm for as long as 72 hours. As a result, your car will warm up almost as soon as you turn the key in the ignition. A Toyota Prius is very appealing to those who want to reduce their impact on the environment while still being able to get around easily. With these benefits, it is the ideal option for residents of cities around the world. It provides the opportunity to save money and energy, get optimal gas mileage even when stopping and going on a daily commute, and stay warm and toasty when driving in colder temperatures.   Image via Toyota
