When using a suction cup to attach a sat nav to your windscreen, do not worry about degreasing the glass first, because a sat nav has no place on your windscreen in the first place. If using a suction cup is the only way to use your sat nav, for safety reasons, stop your automobile and use a hard copy road map. As a bonus, it will make you appreciate your parents' hard-knock life even more.

The Rules state: Your automobile is your sanctuary and church. Therefore, it is no place to eat your meal. Consuming any type of candy is prohibited altogether, with the exception of Cavendish & Harvey's Wild Berry Drops (not to be confused with Smith and Kendo's Original Travel Sweets). The prohibition includes chocolate. To your car's interior, cacao is the work of Lucifer himself.
Let it be known.
Corollary: The glove box should only contain gloves and foldout maps. Foldout maps may also be stored in the door pockets.
Snow White has a Grundig Trollhättan II - I know that is not the correct radio (that would be a plain Trollhättan), but it certainly is better than the red-and-blue-disco-leight cassette thing that was in it when I bought her.
The other 900, which happens to be against the rules because of it's automatic gearbox (which is so ridiculously slow that it may warrant an exception for humorous reasons alone), also has lost it's original radio in the course of time. I managed to find a oeriod-correct-ish Blaupunkt for it...
That said, both cars carry a road map of the respective area in the passenger doorpanel when travelling (plus a map of Sweden for sentimental reasons). While I love the convenience of my smart phone, I will not rely on it. Nothing beats a paper backup. Oh, and map reading is very a manly skill.
I know where you're coming from, Martin! My 900 still has its original Sony radio/cd player and the 'Walkman' minijack now serves as an aux in for my iPhone.
