Owning and driving an older car is pretty cool in a lot of ways. There’s the , of course, or maybe it’s , or maybe you just like you get in it, or perhaps, like most of us at one point or another, buying a new car just isn’t financially possible.

No matter the reason, we can all agree that technology has made parking new cars a lot easier, be they ultrasonic sensors, backup cameras or 360 cameras. Maybe though, through , you can spend a few bucks and make your old car park like a new one. To test this theory, the fellas at Donut decided to order a bevy of gadgets – some cheap, some expensive and some just weird – to try.

Some of these gadgets are a decent idea in theory but unnecessarily complicated. The garage parking sensor, for example, could be replaced for next to nothing with a tennis ball and a string. Some, like the wireless backup camera, are actually super good ideas but executed with as little cost and effort as possible, making them basically e-waste.

Some, like the audible backup warning, should never be fitted to any car ever, and the person who turned reground plastic into that trash has a special place in hell. Not that I feel strongly about it or anything.

Would I fit any of these to my car? Well, I wouldn’t drill anything for the ultrasonics, and I don’t want to mess up my car’s looks with the foam bumper things, but I’d consider a higher quality version of the backup camera. My car doesn’t have a way to easily set one up with , and it’s not something I’d need to use all the time anyway.

What do you think? Would you try any of this crap, and why or why not?
