My chitty car bit the big one last week. Was actually kinda nice not washing, waxing, cleaning a car for the past 5 or 6 years --- since the time I decided it was chitty. Now I've had a car for a week and managed to dump the Bobkin twice already. Looking for suggestions on a decent car vac. I know that rechargeable and 12V will never have the same suction as AC, but extension cord isn't being considered. Recommendations?

Do you have an 18v tool set? Some of them have a vac in the set. I know dewalt has a couple.

Obvious answer - The New Honda Odyssey minivan has a built in vacuum cleaner on the luxury versions.

Yup, you should be able to get the Odyssey almost anywhere you can get your other car.

I have one of the Armor All wet/dry vacs below. Thing works great and isn't huge like a standard shopvac. The extra pieces are nice as well for cleaning the dust out of small cracks. It is also made by ShopVac, so it really does suck..
