HIGH PERFORMANCE LOW MAINTENANCE - She is your pride and joy. Your car is one of your partners in life. Making sure it performs at its best takes tender loving care, which means essentially checking tire pressure regularly. But going to the garage or gas station is a hassle. Highly calibrated accurate to ±1% full scale of 60 PSI range VONDIOR tire pressure gauge will make sure your tires are good to go! Includes a swiveling valve connector, rotating on its' axis for maximum convenience.SAFETY FIRST - Driving your family, friends or simply carpooling is a big responsibility. Protecting your passengers means keeping your car in top condition. Properly inflated tires are safer and less likely to fail at high speeds. Over-inflated tires make for longer stopping distances and will skid longer on wet surfaces. Don’t trust on gas station pump accuracy, most of the time they are showing extreme wrong pressure. Keep tire on optimal pressure. It’s literally a life saver.SAVE YOUR GAS MONEY AND THE ENVIRONMENT – A beneficial situation for all mankind. When tires are not properly inflated, they are less “round” and require more energy to begin moving and to maintain speed. In addition, under-inflated tires contribute to pollution and increased fuel costs. So get a VONDIOR gauge in order to save money and Mother Nature.EASY AS I,2,3 - Mechanics advise checking your vehicle’s tire pressure weekly. But it’s quite inconvenient to run to the garage or gas station regularly just for that. The VONDIOR gauge's large dial with swivel valve hookup makes it easy to measure air pressure at any tire angle. Simply attach it to your tire's air valve - no need to hold it steady, no need to look at the gauge - and the pressure will show instantaneously.ANALOG ACCURACY IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND- Technologically advanced devices have their advantages, but when it comes to a device that can save your life, it must function in real time. This analog tire pressure gauge doesn't require any batteries and provides quick and precise readings. Having a protective rubber shield, it is built to last. It’s an accessory that your car cannot live without.
Depending where you are in the country the temperature getting colder especially overnight effects your tire pressure. I picked up this gauge on Amazon I just keep it in the glove box.

Okay so you're also like me, on the old car club that have no Cruise Control. I always argue that the most useful thing on long journeys is Cruise Control. Though now, skipping that, i am going to help with what i know so far.
First things first, you have to make sure your driving position is the absolute best it can be. Everything listed below if applicable:
• Calibrate the base of the seat forward/backward while fully pressing the clutch, and make sure your left knee is bent a bit.
• Calibrate the back angle of the seat to suit you.
• Move the steering wheel itself closer/farther to you so that when your arms are at their most extended point (rotating/pulling the steering wheel clockwise from the 9 o'clock position with the right arm, or inverse, 3 o'clock with the left arm, counterclockwise), your elbow is at a 120 degree angle. This provides maximum muscular efficiency rotating the wheel as fast and as efficiently as possible. If your steering wheel does not move, like in my old Mercedes, you have to decrease the angle of the back of the seat, pushing you forward to the angle of your elbows i just mentioned.
• Raise your seat at a height where you can see in parallel the top edge of your steering wheel, dashboard, and hood/bonnet. If your steering wheel cannot move in any way, just the parallel top edge of the dashboard and hood, if the hood is long enough like the MK3 Golf. In other vehicles where you cannot see the hood, you line up your dashboard and the steering wheel, or not at all.
• Calibrate your left mirror putting your head in the left most part of the vehicle, like the window, and placing the view of the car so that you can see a bit of the back of the car. This will be useful when parking and trying to line up the car to the side of the road.
• Same thing with the right mirror, put your head as right as comfortably possible, and place as little of your car as possible on the mirror while being able to see the side of your car.
• When you go back to center, you will be able to see your blindspot pretty well too.
• Calibrate your middle rearview mirror so that the back window is perfectly in center of the view.
• If you're driving alone for long stretches, lie the passenger seat as far back low as possible for you to have a clear view of your shoulder.
Then, put everything in a very easy order for them to be accessible even while you are driving. Which means money, car documents to hand to the police, your phone needs to be mounted somewhere safe not obstructing your windshield, water and food. Anything you need to quickly access, put it strategically as close and as stable as possible. Check all fluid levels of the car before leaving.
Whenever you feel bored and tired, just pull on the side of the road wherever legal and possible, like a gas station, and have a short walk, breathe some air. Enjoy the little pause, then go at it again.
For last but not least, make sure you have:
• A tire inflator of some sort, even a good little bicycle pump does the job. All it matters is for it to be able to overinflate your tires. Doesn't matter if it has a gauge or not.
• A tire pressure gauge like this: https://www.amazon.com/Vondior-Tire-Pressure-Gauge-Certified/dp/B072Z4SBN9/. This tire pressure gauge will be one of your most important posessions. Little more pressure, little less, you risk sliding somewhere you shouldn't, especially with a front wheel drive MK3. Having your tires perfectly inflated cold with brand new tires is the most reassuring thing to have while on a trip, or while there's a fucking storm and you can barely see outside in the dark and rain.
• A spare tire/wheel and the tools needed to change it
• A basic wrenching kit, cause sometimes small things come loose that you want to tighten
• Snow chain/socks, cause duh
• An umbrella and a raincoat, veeery helpful if it's suddenly raining and you forgot your umbrella, or you have to change a tire in the rain in the middle of nowhere
• Heavy duty sort of gloves, that are flexible but thick enough for you not to cut your hands anywhere
• One flower watering bottle, that you fill with water, pressure with the handpump, and it sprays water
• Some sort of 3 litre water container, cause when you need water 1 litre isn't enough
• At least one microfiber cloth, for it to clean the windows in a smudgy way. 3 are suggested, first cleaning most of the crap, second one cleans the rest to perfection, and third is used to dry the glasses without any water at all, in order for them to be spotless and have no dried-from-sun-or-air areas.
• One or two crappy old cotton shirts to use as rags to check the oil level or whatever oily stuff you need for the engine or wheels.
• 1 litre of every liquid your car uses, like engine oil, antifreeze/coolant, brake stuff DOT4, anything
• A brush for cleaning the wheels, that enters tight spots and makes cleaning wheels a breeze. It's important to clean the wheels not cosmetically, but functionally. If mud or ice or some other crap you don't want enters the brakes, you can be doomed.
TL;DR: Make sure to calibrate and prepare everything in your car as much as possible, so that all you have to think about is driving and enjoying the ride. This allows place for your mind to be careful about other idiot drivers and such. The more you prepare, the less you have to think about in a crisis situation.
I am 22 years of age, started driving on March 2017. I am very passionate about driving and cars, and my knowledge comes from experience, not google. I learned that preparation is the most important part of driving, and it changed everything in my driving experience, with me already having done some of the craziest things ever, while having very little money to go by (i can barely afford changing the oil in my car, let alone gas).
