Last Minute Father’s Day Gifts for a Car-Dork

Ladies, Mothers, Wives, Daughters, and Husbands in the same sex marriages (where applicable, please check your local laws) – You have three days to do what you have been putting off for the last 362 days, to get a Father’s Day gift for the car-dork in your family. Here are a few ideas guaranteed (by absolutely no one) to make his day a good one:

Idea Number 1:

Does the man have an extra set of tires for his car, perhaps a set of winter tires or track/autocross wheels? Does he have a garage? Are those wheels stacked in a corner, one on top of each other? Here is your solution, a tire rack from… uhmm… TireRack.com. Cheap, easy to install, and adjustable to fit most tires short of 35″ mud swappers.

Idea Number 2:

Dyson DC31, vacuum cleaner. See full review here: Dyson DC31.The small vacuum cleaner is perfect for quick car cleaning. I have three Dyson vacuum cleaners and after several years they all work like new. I can’t recommend Dysons enough.

Idea Number 3:

Does the man have a Ford F-series pick up truck? Does he like sports? Does he go to games? Goes he tailgate? Does he use his tailgate as a bench? Is your man a pain-in-the-ass? Err, I mean, does he have a pain… uhmm, never mind. Whatever the reason, make his tailgate sitting more comfortable by getting him The Talegator! His ass will thank you (yea, the visual on that one is pretty bad). Best place to order from the Ford Collection.

Idea Number 4:

AutoART car models! Get the 1:18 scale models, nothing smaller (bigger numerically). Make sure to get a car that he actually likes; if he likes Porsches, he’ll throw a Mustang out the window and vice-versa. If he likes Priuseses, get him a plant. Best place to get these models is from my friends at MovieCarMania. Great service, good prices, quick shipping, highly recommended.

Idea Number 5:

None of those working for you? No time to ship? Can’t make your mind? Can’t read his mind? Get a gift certificate to Griot’s Garage. Griots is full of high quality items that you simply do not see anywhere else. They have stuff that the car-dork-dad in your life did not know existed unless he was a Griot’s customer. More importantly, they have items he did not know he needs! Get a gift certificate for the website and the catalog and he’ll be thankful for the next 364 days.
