<$300 996 related birthday present?

my stepdad's birthday is coming up and i need to get him a present. I figured i'd get him something for his car or at least car related. At first i thought one of those GTECH accelerometers but i don't think he will use it.

Anyone have any good ideas? By the way he already has a B&M and Gert's pedals. Both of those would have been perfect but no dice.

-Steve

Check out Griots. I'll use the catalog as a hint for family members.

I also got a kick out of these:

nothin is hitting me yet. we have people that detail the cars so the car care stuff won't work. I know he'll never use a car cover. i already got him a GT2 model. That keyholder thing is sweet but he's really lazy and forgetful and would never use it. I'll have to think harder...have until Nov 19.
