Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so it is definitely time to decide the perfect gift for the car lover in your life. Luckily, there are a number of gifts out there that fit every budget and will satisfy every car enthusiast.
Travel Coffee Mug – Spilling coffee in a car can be a disaster. It will stain the carpets and could even burn the driver. A good travel mug is an inexpensive solution that will be appreciated by any traveling coffee drinker.
Racing Video Games – Even if your car lover isn’t a driver themselves, there are some great video games to simulate the experience.
Some popular games include Forza Motorsport 4 on XBOX, with the best simulation available, and Gran Turismo 5 has the same role on the Playstation 3.
Driving Shoes – A good pair of driving shoes makes all the difference, especially in performance driving.
An accurate feel for the pedals allows for precise inputs, fewer missed shifts, and faster driving. That is what it should all be about.
Sunglasses – Quality sunglasses should be a requirement for all drivers. Sun glare causes accidents, so you can even say these are a safety feature.
Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks a type of intense reflected light, reducing glare from a long, flat surface such as the hood of the car or the road’s surface.
GPS – The latest generations of GPS sport more features than ever before to help you get from point A to point B quickly and safely. Some features include audible driving directions with text-to-speech (TTS), spoken street names, real-time traffic updates, Internet connectivity for points-of-interest search, and large easy-to-read screens, to name a few.
Also, there will never be any more stopping for directions, which is a huge plus. Some popular models include Garmin and TomTom. You could also try a GPS app like CoPilot Live or Google Maps.
Remote Starter – Most manufacturers of cars recommend adequately warming up your car before you drive. This protects the car’s start system, engine, and other critical parts. So, if your car enthusiast is ever running late, they can start their car from inside with a remote starter.
Race Tickets – Tickets to a major race like the Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500, or the Monaco Grand Prix will make for an unforgettable experience. These events are some of the oldest and most prestigious in motorsports.
Although the races mentioned above are the most popular, any race weekend is a great experience for a car fan.
