Spend too much time in utmost summer heating system and you ’ll find yourself doing strange things . A calendar week ago the musical theme of a gigantic umbrella for my car would have seemed comic , but after a weekend of climbing in and out of unbearably hot vehicle , theLanmodo seems like it should be a stock featureon every car .
Before you get the wrong idea , theLanmodo umbrellaisn’t going to shield your fomite from the sun ’s blasting ray while you ’re cruising down Route 66 , letting you keep the air conditioning on low . When sucking - cupped to the roof of your car , the gadget ’s reflex mechanism takes about eight seconds to deploy the over - sized canopy that deflects sunlight and helps keep the inside of your fomite bearable while it sits unprotected in a parking lot or driveway . On a undivided charge , the Lanmodo ’s creators promise it can open or come together up to 500 prison term before its bombardment dies .
It ’s a stark - minimum alternative to a service department , but the Lanmodo also is likely a vastly superior solution to those fold - up cardboard sunshine - blockers you ’re supposed to cram in your windscreen when parked . However , depending on the size of it of your auto , the Lanmodo will specify you back $ 300 to $ 370 for the base unit , and another $ 100 for a sales booth allowing it to be used as a patio or beach umbrella as well .
While sitting in my air - check agency , that seems pricey for an umbrella , but I know the 2nd I ill-use outside into the unbearable heat here I ’ll be reaching for a cold drink , and then — just maybe — my wallet .
