Most of the time, despite of a driver’s intention of keeping his cool while driving, he goes beyond the speed limit. It is nice to know that there is now an iPhone application that can help.

A good way for beginners and pros alike, especially those who tend to like speeding, can greatly benefit from the Slow Down app that aids on slowing down a car whenever it goes faster.

While driving, the Slow Down app lets you listen to your favorite music. Apart from letting you blend into the mood of your own music, the app serves as a reminded when you go too fast by slowing down the music.

If you exceed the speed limit by over 10 kilometers per hour, the music will automatically stop. It will only resume playing once you are back within the speed limit.

Have this great iPhone app by going to the webpage of iTunes Store for this application.

I’ve always wondered what those air ionizers do to your car cabin’s air. I read these were supposed to rid your auto of bad smells, like smog, smoke, even foodstuffs. I got a few items fro BudgetGadgets.com a few weeks back, and this air purifier refresher was one of them. I got it for about $8, and shipping was free.

I’m still trying to figure out what an ionizer is expected to do. So far, I do think that the car has retained its “new car” smell even after almost ten months of use. Any inputs on this?

I’ve recently rekindled my passion for all things automotive, and among these is one of my own sites, www.pinoyautoblog.com.

The site has actually been online for some time now, but it’s only now that I’m able to fill it in with actual practical tips and news. Just recently, I’ve been able to review a Toyota Vios and test-drive a Nissan Grand Livina and a Ford Everest.

I’m fortunate enough to be able to do a full review of the Vios. However, as it probably is with most auto dealers locally, it’s perhaps not as easy to get media units for review, like other gadget manufacturers (such as mobile phone and laptops). But we do welcome review requests. In fact, we’d be glad to oblige!
