"You can't see anything from a car; you've got to get out of the goddamn contraption and walk, better yet crawl, on hands and knees, over the sandstone and through the thornbrush and cactus. When traces of blood begin to mark your trail, you'll see something, maybe." ~ Ed Abbey

Your Christmas Gearhead Wish list

November 22, 2007

Gift giving is one of the oldest ways of expressing love and whatever mushy feelings we have for our significant others. And the best time for gift giving is the Christmas holidays. If one of your loved ones is a gearhead and you are a gearhead too (means your both seriously into your vehicles), finding a gift may be easy. But what if, you are not a gearhead yourself? Thecarconnection.com helps you with their wish list. Find something to wrap below:

Corvette/Mustang/’57 Chevy wall shelves
These fit more easily in your den than a real ‘69 Sting Ray Corvette, ‘57 Bel Air or ‘64 Mustang (and cost a lot less, too). Plus, they’re perfect for displaying your models-or just use them as actual bookshelves. Each shelf is designed to replicate the front end of a classic in full 3-D glory, with authentic grilles, headlights and a flat glass shelf on the “hood” for your items to sit on.

Digital breath alcohol detector
If you’ve only had a glass or two of wine or beer with dinner, you may not think you’re impaired, but with lawful BAC levels getting lower each year, better to be sure before you get behind the wheel. This pocket-sized device could save you a trip to jail and thousands in lawyer’s fees.
 
Night vision glasses
If you are bothered by the glare of oncoming headlights at night, try these. The amber lenses filter out glare while preserving the natural balance of colors; ideal for older drivers who are experiencing difficulty driving at night. Side lenses enhance peripheral vision, too.
 
Magnetic finger
Just the ticket for retrieving a wayward bolt or other small part you can’t quite reach with a tool. This form-fitting stretchy glove slips on your index finger and turns it into a professional tool. A powerful magnet sewn into the tip allows you to hold and retrieve any small metal object with precise control.

Drag racing alarm clock
Wake up to the sound of 800 horsepower staging for the green! Alarm features fully functional “Christmas tree,” temperature and humidity gauges-and the tire-shredding sound of a drag racer lining up for a quarter-mile run. Measures 9.5 inches tall and uses three AA batteries.

Auto Art brake disc memo pad
This memo pad sports a magnetic case shaped like a cross-drilled/vented high-performance disc brake rotor, with a red powder-coated “caliper” clamping on the paper pad-just like the real thing. Its case can be attached to any metal surface, such as a refrigerator door.
 
Premium gas pump CD cabinet
It looks just like an old-timey 100-octane leaded premium gas pump but is actually a 38-inch high CD storage cabinet. Perfect for a car-themed rec room, the pump is available in several colors/styles.
 
4-in-1 Extreme Power Pack
This fully portable multi-function cordless power pack keeps you rolling, no matter the situation. It includes a 400-amp jump starter with #4 welding gauge cables; a 275-psi air compressor with a 1.5-foot air hose; and a detachable 150-watt power inverter (runs TVs, laptops, iPods, etc.) and AC/DC charging adapters. Weighs just 14 pounds.

However, a performance part for a car is also a good idea. It just depends on the model. For example, if his/her vehicle is a mazda mx6, the best gift would be Mazda mx6 performance parts to suit his vehicle perfectly.
