Remember the movie “That Darned Cat” starring Hayley Mills? I’m really dating myself now! But I really do agree with that title.
Let me tell you about a darned cat that has chosen to take up residence with our two outdoor cats. She or he, whichever the case may be, is wild and won’t let us get within ten feet of her (I’ll refer to this cat as her for the sake of ease in writing my story), but she doesn’t hesitate to come to the feeding dish once we are out of sight! This isn’t our complaint about this cat – we and our other cats don’t mind sharing food with her.
Here is the situation that earned her the nickname “That Darned Cat.” During the summer months we are very busy with yard work and gardening, so we are in and out of our garage many times a day. We like to open the garage door for convenience in carrying the needed tools in and out instead of using the entrance door. Herein lies the problem. We just happen to have our new shiny red pickup truck parked in the garage, and every time we leave the overhead door open, we come back to find “that darned cat” perched either on the hood or the roof of our truck!! Needless to say, that doesn’t make us feel very kindly towards her! So now to avoid this problem, we are using the entrance door instead of leaving the garage door open.
You may be asking yourself why we don’t use one of the truck covers that we sell at snjcarcovers.com to protect our new truck. Well, we have a cap on the truck, and most truck covers are designed for capless trucks. We are going to try a little experiment, and we’ll let you know if it works in a future blog. We have purchased one of the largest
SUV covers that we sell hoping that it will fit the truck. Since the cap on our truck is only cab high, it somewhat resembles an SUV.
Keep your fingers crossed, and we’ll let you know who wins : us or “that darned cat!”
First of all, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all of you dads out there!
In many parts of the country, as in Pennsylvania, we have had so much rain that we are anxious to see a sunny day again! We have had rain 15 days out of the 21 days of June! Fortunately, today is the first day of spring, so maybe that is a good indication that sunny days are ahead!
For those of you who have boats, hopefully you have a quality cover to keep all of this rain out! If not, let us tell you about the Sportsman Series boat covers that we carry in our online store. These covers are manufactured by Budge Industries and are available in two weights – one is 600 denier polyester and the other is 300 denier polyester. That is the only difference. Both are semi-custom trailerable covers which are 100% waterproof and have been specially coated for long term UV protection. They have a heavy-duty shock cord hem to ensure a tight fit, and also included is a QuikSnap adjustable strapping system to be used when you are trailering your boat. These covers both carry great warranties!
Protect your boat with one of these quality boat covers from snjcarcovers.com.

Nocord Jumpstart II Rechargeable Jump Starter / Air Compressor
Have you ever driven to work on a foggy day and needed to have your headlights on? Did you ever forget to turn them off when you arrived at work? Well, needless to say, when you were ready and anxious to get home at the end of the day, you had a dead battery! Now you must find somebody with jumper cables (assuming you don’t carry them with you) and have them jumpstart your car for you. Just what you need, right?! This is the voice of experience speaking!
It is true with many of our vehicles today, the headlights will shut off automatically after a set amount of time, or a signal will sound when you open your car door to remind you that your lights are on. But there are still a number of vehicles out there that are not equipped with these features.
Another question : Have you ever been ready to go to work or to some other destination and discovered that you have a soft tire? Or maybe you are somewhere away from home and access to an air supply and need air in a tire, whether it be for your car, an ATV, UTV or garden tractor.
A perfect accessory for your vehicle for situations like this is the Nocord Rechargeable Jump Starter / Air Compressor. This is the most powerful and versatile portable emergency 12-volt power source for everyday use. No matter what the conditions are or the size of your vehicle, the Nocord Jumpstart II can boost any dead battery with one start guaranteed! You simply clip the built in, color coded, heavy gauged clamps to your battery. The Jumpstart II Peaks at 800amp and 400 amp jumpstart cranking.
The Nocord Jumpstart II also features an air compressor to quickly and easily inflate your tires. The air compressor is rated at 260 psi.
Don’t get caught unprepared again with a dead battery or underinflated tires when you can have one of these handy “tools” with you. Come in to our online store at snjcarcovers.com and check out this wonderful product that no vehicle should be without! What a great Father’s Day gift idea!
The WRAP Steering Wheel Lock
The WRAP is one of our NEWEST and HOTTEST selling products. Many people are looking for better ways to protect their vehicles from theft.
The WRAP is an innovative vehicle theft deterrent that mounts easily to the steering wheel and offers numerous features designed to provide a high level of protection against vehicle theft, air bag theft and joy riding.
The remote controlled WRAP is constructed of super high impact resistant space-age resin and is reinforced with stainless steel making it lightweight, weather resistant and virtually indestructible. It features a non-skid lining that grips the steering wheel securely without scratching. The bright yellow resin will not become hot in the sun making it safe to remove in hot weather.
The WRAP’s anti-rotation arm prevents full rotation of the steering wheel, rendering the vehicle non-drivable. It also protects the air bag and covers 200 degrees of steering wheel. A keyed lock secures The WRAP in place; the key is integrated into the small remote control, making it easy to grip and turn even in cold weather.
Once The WRAP is locked in place, warning lights and an alarm system are activated from outside the vehicle using the remote control. Three flashing LED lights advertise that the vehicle is protected. The lights are visible even through tinted glass. If The WRAP is tampered with, a motion-activated, 120 decibel, pain-generating siren sounds. This combination of advanced features makes The WRAP the most effective vehicle theft deterrent on the market today.
The WRAP fits 14.25 to 15.5 inch steering wheels and runs on four AA batteries. It also comes with a car charger to help extend the life of the batteries.
