5, Handy, if it was cooled or heated it'd be higher on the list.

7, cars already have map lights, but they aren't snake lights. I'd reconmend a removable and recharagable flash light

6, Some cars have one, and there are a lot of adaptors out there, but according to my mom, who I consulted on this with, other things are more important in the car, although as a Geek, Its first on my list.
