Gift Ideas for Your Car Enthusiast

Gift Ideas for Your Car Enthusiast

The holidays are a time of family, friends, giving, and celebration. But the stress of trying to figure out what to get everyone can ruin it. We say it every year, “I don’t know what to get so and so for Christmas.” Well, we can’t tell you what to get your 13-year-old daughter, but we have a few awesome ideas for the car enthusiast in your family.

A List That Will Make Them Happy


  • Let’s start the list with an ideal gift for anyone with a vehicle- high-quality car care products. There is a great website that basically puts a “gift basket” together with products to keep your vehicle looking like new. Man Crates is the perfect gift with more than just car care products. They have gifts that range from jerky to sports and gear. Check them out. 
  • A phone mount is perfect for those who are in the (bad) habit of looking at their phone while driving. We are all guilty of it, but luckily you can find a wide variety of mounts on Amazon ranging in affordable prices and types. 
  • This gift idea is my favorite. I have a friend who misplaces her keys A LOT! Tile Mate Key Finder is pretty awesome. The tile attaches to your key ring and syncs to your smartphone. You can track down your keys using GPS on the Tile app. 
  • Dash cams have become popular recently, and they have come in pretty handy too. They’ve been mainly used by law enforcement officers, but now we can all have one in our own vehicles. Insignia has a full HD dash cam with a 130-degree wide angle lens. It also offers a memory card slot so you can view footage anytime you want. 
  • Every person who owns a vehicle needs a good set of tools to keep. You can find a huge variety of tools by Craftsman. These mechanics tool kits range in price and set count.

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

  Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...

A Few Facts About the Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company The Ford Motor Company has seen it all since Henry Ford opened the Ford Motor Company in 1902. From producing vehicles for the public to helping with military equipment, going through some rough times in the past, and to some financial problems. The company has proven to be a brand that plans on sticking around for a long time. Here are a few interesting facts that many have not worked out and some that we still see today. Ford Facts Ford was the first company to manufacture and sell cars.
