Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / February 2006Clipboards or notepads
Hi - This may not sound like a big deal, but I would appreciate it if someone could recommend a good, sturdy notepad / clipboard for my car, one that sits on the dash and attaches securely there, either with a suction cup to the windshield or by some other means. It should hold 3x5 index cards. I have seen many inexpensive ones at places like Pep Boys, office supply stores, etc., but they're generally flimsy and the clips break after only a relatively short period of usage. Thanks, Tim Why not just buy a clip and screw it to a piece of thin plywood, or a piece of aluminum. I know just what you mean about cheap plastic ones. You better make one soon, before they start making the plywood and aluminum out of plastic too. Then people wonder why gas prices are so high. It's because they are using half the oil to make heap plastic crap that you throw in the trash after a few uses. Look at how much plastics are used in cars now. Just like my 89 Chevy, whose door handles keep breaking because they are plastic, and the replacements are the same junk. I've replaced every one of them at least once. If I bought an older car with metal handles, I bet I'd never have to replace a handle, and in 2050 they's still be good. I suppose I should not complain too much though. At least I still have a metal body with metal bumpers, and my engine block is iron, not plastic. >Hi - > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Thanks, >Tim > Why not just buy a clip and screw it to a piece of thin plywood, or a > piece of aluminum.

You're better off than I--my engine isn't iron; just my block is-- the heads are aluminum! Possibly a step towards plastic?!?! s Tim, You may consider STARLITE NOTES for a premium note and map holder-windshield mounted- includes pen and 3 x 5 notepad. www.starlitenotes.com Best regards, Phil not a bad product.... good looking out ------------------------------------ Mike Mangione http://www.carforums.net |
