Auto affi cionados are often walking encyclopedias about all things automotive. When it comes to the holiday season, buying a gift for the car guy or gal in your family might seem easy. After all, any gift related to cars is sure to leave your loved one head over heels. However, for those holiday shoppers who don't know the difference between an air fi l- ter and an air conditioner, perhaps the fol- lowing suggestions might fare better under the tree this holiday season. Driving lessons Auto racing is one of North America's most popular sports, and many car guys and gals would love to know what it feels like to get behind the wheel of a race car and put the pedal to the metal. That dream can become a reality, and holiday shoppers can help make that happen for a loved one. Racing schools exist for all sorts of racing, be it stock car racing, Formula 1 racing, Indy Cars, and even Kart racing. (Note: Kart racing does not refer to amusement park style go-karts.) Be it novice car affi cio- nados or veterans who spend weekends at work in their garages, racing lessons can make an ideal gift for auto lovers. Gift certifi cate for a wash and a detailing As much as car guys and gals care about what's under the hood, they also care about how their cars' exteriors looks. Win- ter weather can wreak havoc on a vehicle's exterior, so help your favorite auto lover take care of his or her baby this winter with a gift certifi cate to a nearby car wash and/ or auto detailing center. This will ensure the car remains a sight for sore eyes through the winter. Just be sure to include multiple trips to the car wash and detailing center, as a car often needs a few trips each winter to keep up appearances. Magazine subscription Like most industries, the auto industry How To Make Your Car Disappear... Haulk's Inside Frashier Automotive Brake Service Performance Automotive Computer Diagnostics 386 Withrow Road Forest City, NC 28043 Anthony Haulk is constantly changing. What's popular to- day might be obsolete tomorrow. Help your favorite auto enthusiast stay abreast of the auto industry's many innovations and up- dates with a subscription to a favorite auto magazine. Such magazines inspire car lov- ers to improve their own vehicles while let- ting them know the latest trends in the auto industry. Accessories No car lover can do without his or her accessories, which can range from practi- cal gifts like a new GPS unit to more spe- cialized items like a paint gun accessory kit. Shoppers who aren't very familiar with cars might not know which accessories to buy. In such instances, a gift certifi cate to a nearby auto parts store should suffi ce. This guarantees your loved one will get some- thing for his or her car and eliminate the need to return the gift if he or she already has it. Tools Auto affi cionados love working on their vehicles, and that work can't be done with- out the right tools. If possible, visit his or her garage or shop and peruse the tool collection. If anything looks especially aged or ragged, replace it with a newer version. Auto lovers are often particular about their tools, so if you're reticent about buying new ones, take your gift recipient to the store and let him or her choose a gift or buy a gift certifi cate that covers the cost of the tools that look like they need replacing.
