I wanted to share a trick I use when vacuuming out my cars.
I have this vacuum:
http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-ProGrade-Garage-Utility-L2310/dp/B000289920
It comes with a pretty awesome 30' long hose, plus top quality attachments. With the 30' hose, I can reach anywhere in my 2 car garage, so I can climb into the car and go to town without worrying about repositioning a vacuum. However, when you're (up to) 30' away from the vacuum, it can be a real PITA to turn it on and off.
I had some of these remote control electrical outlet thingys sitting around that I picked up at Target when they clearanced all of their christmas stuff:

So now I have the vacuum plugged into one of these puppies, and I take the remote when I get in the car with the vacuum hose, and can achieve a new level of laziness! Not only do I no longer need to move a vacuum around, I no longer need to stand up and walk over to it to turn it on and off
Note: that vacuum fluctuates widely in price on Amazon, I have seen it go for as low as $135 all the way up to $180. In case someone wants to pick one up.
