6SpeedOnline’s Fathers Day Gift Guide 2013
Magellan Jets
$TBD
This Father’s Day, give your Dad the gift of time with Magellan Jets’ special 5-hour card. Magellan Jets’ offers the 5 Hour Getaway Card, the only one of its kind in the industry exclusively for Father’s Day. Doesn’t Dad deserve the simplicity and flexibility of access to a private jet anywhere in the US with as little as 10 hours’ notice?
Porsche Design Golf Cleats
$TBD
Porsche’s dogmatic attention to high performance outside of cars hasn’t exactly gone unnoticed by us. In addition to creating subterranean TVs and fancy cell phones, they also now make Golf cleats with Addidas. Unfortunately, the cleats do not double as racing shoes. Wearing them in the drivers seat is more likely end in disaster than a faster lap time
Pirelli iPhone Cases
$50
Rest assured. Anyone with one of these Pirelli bumpers around their iPhone is a true fan of the brand. They come in six different colors: One for every type of tire they use in F1. Just, don’t trust the “Wet” bumper to sling water off your phone in the rain.
Formula 1 Simulator
$115,000
You are not an F1 driver. But that doesn’t mean you can’t pretend to be. This simulator is probably the closest thing to sitting in an actual F1 car that we plebs will ever have the privelage of. The construction of the thing is complete with carbon fiber and composite material. This is basically a replica with nice computer in it. The only question is where to put it…
Bondurant High-Performance Driving School
$499-$7499
If Dad is looking to wring more performance from his ride, the best thing he can do is take driving classes—and Bondurant’s are legendary. The school is also the only place where he can get personal instruction from Corvette Racing champion Johnny O’Connell. Trust us, Dad will flip out.
Digital 400 12V Performance Maintainer and Battery Charger
$109
There’s nothing fun about a dead battery, so help keep all Dad’s toys ready to rock and roll with Optima’s Digital 400 12V Performance Maintainer and Battery Charger. The backlit hybrid LED/LCD display provides easy-to-read info on fill rate and battery health, and top-notch build quality insures it’ll be around for years.
Stu’s Sours Bloody Mary Mixology Kit
$35
Dad may not go for Sunday brunch – a meal made for ladies in hats – but he does go for BRUNCH, a man’s meal, a time for savories, for meat and eggs, and coffee, and butter, and bloody marys, yes please thank you very much. So treat him right and provide him with the tools for the perfect Bloody Mary with Stu’s Sours kit, a handsomely packaged combo of mix, sweet corn rimmer, key lime juice, and ghost pepper extract for a real kick. And don’t be a cheapskate, bring him some vodka and tomato juice and maybe he’ll whip you up one of these tasty treats on Father’s Day.
Whisky Gift Set
$60
Ice melts, juice glasses irritate the nose, and doesn’t dad’s whisky deserve better? The answer to that is yes. So give him the Teroforma Whisky Lover Gift set, which includes two crystal tumblers and a set of 6 Whisky stones. These soapstone “rocks” are soft against the glass, and when chilled and placed in your beverage, bring down the temperature just enough. Dad will thank you, and remind you that he needs to drink his whisky straight to make up for all those times you watered his bottles down as a teenager when he and your mom were out of town.
Lacoste Tennis Sweatbands
$12
Useful, practical, elegant. Not words that are generally used to describe product designed to soak up sweat. The wristband is an easy way to stay stylish while keeping sweat from interfering in your daily activities. Lacost offers wristbands in several different styles and colors, but they all feature that trademark alligator to let everyone know just how classy your little sweat sponge is.
