Whoo hoo, the holiday season is upon us! Or, if you prefer, “Welp, the holiday season is upon us.” If you’re more of a welp, let me guess: all that gift-giving is stressful. Even if you’re bucks-up enough that paying for all the loot isn’t an issue, there’s still of ton of psychic weight one must shoulder when it comes to choosing the right gifts, perfect presents that will say “I love and I get you,” as opposed to “Everyone needs socks” or “I picked up this Visa Gift Card on the way.”
It always helps if the gift-getter is loud and proud about a hobby or interest, and I’m sure we can all attest as car people that we have opened many a gift to the refrain of, “I got it because you like cars.”
“Aw, thanks!” you say, as you peel the paper off a clock with a gear for a face and wrench hands, or a hefty coffee-table tome full of color pictures and scant text with titles like Classic Muscle Cars or Exotic Supercars. I kid, but honestly, I enjoy flipping through those books, and it’s nice to have a clock in the garage, so thank you. (See also: it’s the thought that counts.)
On the other hand, sometimes you get – or even better, give – the perfect car-lover gift, and that’s what I’m Autopian Asking about today. Funnily enough, very often (in my experience, anyway) the bestest gifts aren’t even very expensive. I noticed dealer promo models of the Dodge Stealth were cheap on Ebay, so I gifted one to Huge Stealth Fan Stephen Walter Gossin, and he was absolutely over the moon. It was ten bucks, I think? Twenty, tops. I’ve been thrilled to get vintage car brochures and hood ornaments that couldn’t have cost more than a few bucks myself.
Of course, I must mention the sure-fire gift every car person will love getting, and that’s an Autopian Membership. With tiers from Cloth all the way up to Rich Corinthian Leather, there’s a Membership for every fan of four wheels in your family or friend circle. And remember to treat yourself!
