  • What can you give to a CAR CRAZY guy for a gift?

    My husband and I have been married for 20 years. I want to get him a gift that says, "I love you because cars turn your head but not other women!" LOL! I need some ideas what to get him keeping in mind that the budget is tighter than a 351 in a Pinto!
    Let me tell you about him. He has a 59 ford custom. This was his first car and it has been a BIG part of his life for 30 years now. He took it to his prom night and our kids rode to there prom in it also. The motor is a spotless 351 Windor and the Paint was done in 91. It looks good but the interior needs some work. He has worn the plush off the seats by cleaning it to death! All in All, it still turns heads! Across the years, He has put the car projects off because the kids needed... or we had bills.... or the house needs work. Something all the time. He goes to car shows and cruiz-ins weekly during summer and he wants to be buried in his car when he dies, If he can't take it with him, then at least have the stearing wheel removed and placed in his hands. He says that his eyes will be closed and maybe he won't know the difference. As you can tell, he is just a little CAR CRAZY!
    I have bought all the adds and models that I can find on auction sites and his Meguiar's cleaning products are well stocked. I have about $100.00 to spend. can you give me some ideas?
    Thanks and Blessings to you and yours,

    Does he have a buffer. A PC 7424 or a G-100 would make a great gift if he doesnt have one already. If he does, then it would depend on what he doesnt have. Most car crazy guys spend all their money on everything they can get, trust me, I know lol.

      It's so true it hurts...my wallet.

      The PC is a good idea. If you are on a tight budget, #16 might be a treat along with a personalized Key (if he doesn't already have one). Car guys love the toys like this.

            A PC would be a great gift. My girlfriend bought me one for a gift. And I love it.

              Another idea if he doesn't already have one would be the bissell little green machine. I know that would be a welcome gift to me. And it's in your price range with some left over for dinner or more supplies or whatever.

                Always the option for Grit Guards if he doesnt have them. Those are a definate must have.

                  good quality microfiber towels are a must, and one cannot have enough of them. for $6.99, you get three supreme shine microfiber towels as oppose to $3.49 each which is an excellent deal!

                    Not sure if he uses ADS (autodetailingsolutionsdotcom) or not, but you could get him a gift card to their site, its full of detailing supplies!! This way he could whatever he wants, even a PC!!

                      First of all you are sooooo cool.

                      Hmmmm, My wife bought me a Tach and 3 spoke wooden steering wheel for my '64 Chevy pick up which is my rusted out, burnt valve baby (new heads arrived, so back to work) as I had told her I would love a tach mounted to the steering column and I showed her a steering wheel I just loved, just so happens, she got it for me for my Birthday.


                      Do some recon and see what he has been talking about or go with him to the parts store and see what he hits on like tools, parts, new chrome this or that or seat covers or... or.... also, send any kids with him and do some recon, my wife does that all the time (I still haven't figured it out).

                      If you see him working hard waxing or whatever, can't beat a Porter Cable polisher, my wife knows I would love one but bills, kid in college (who has a clogged catalytic converter and needs that fixed, so I put off the heads on my truck for now ) If you see him under the hood of the car and listen to what he grumbles about, "boy wish I had a pair of Ford Motorsport valve covers or whatever.

                      You have come to the right place for advise and thank you for considering us guys (and gals who chime in).

                      Have fun and let us know what you did.

                        I agree with the gift card idea from ads. I realize its not the same as a physical present for his b-day but it would guarantee to give him exactly what he wants for his b-day.
