LS1Tech’s Fathers Day Gift Guide 2013
“Bring it Back” Mouse Pad
$13
There are a lot of people out there who love the Trans-Am. You might not be able to buy a new one from GM, but Hurst will turn your new Camaro into one if you’ve got the cash. Otherwise, this mousepad will prove a decent substite.
Bondurant High-Performance Driving School
$499-$7499
If Dad is looking to wring more performance from his car, 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.
Objects in Mirror are SLOW Decal
$60
It’s the perfect decal. Small and subtle enough to be ignored, but a clever suprise for those willing to pay attention. This’ll only be handy for the dad’s who actually go out and race. I got a feeling that, since this is LS1Tech, there are a whole lot of you that fit that description.
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.
Various Prices
Saying you got Pop a set of tires for Father’s Day sounds a little like saying you got Mom a vacuum cleaner for Mother’s Day. But gearheads know it’s not like that. March the old man over to the computer or out to one of TreadDepot’s locations, and let him pick out a new pair of shoes for his ride. The company is currently running rebates from $50 to $80 bucks on brands like Pirelli, Cooper, Goodyear and Michelin—so get him some sticky rubber. He’ll think of you every time he carves a corner.
Dynomax Exhuast Systems
$321.99
Good trucks deserve to be heard as well as driven. And really, it would be a shame to leave that 5.0 v8 muted behind the F-150’s stock exhuast. Dynomax has several options for customizing exhuasts. They have D-I-Y piping kits as well as pre-assembled exhuast kits available through a multitude of retailers. If your dad is the type to get his hands dirty, consider getting him this upgrade.
Mothers Wax Attack Polisher
$80.00
If there’s one generalization you can make about Corvette owners, it’s that they’re all particular about keeping their rides spic and span. And this Wax Attack Polisher from Mothers’ will insure that putting on a solid coat of wax won’t take all afternoon. Let Dad spend more time driving and less waxing!
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 six whisky stones. These soapstone “rocks” are soft against the glass, and when chilled and placed in your beverage, bring down the temperature just enough.
Spot Global Phone
$499
How do you stay in touch with the adventurous Dad? The new SPOT Global Phone will keep any outdoor enthusiast connected when beyond cell coverage. With SPOT in hand, you can stay connected to family, friends and emergency assistance with crystal clear calls and a long-life Lithium-ion battery. It’s the perfect adventure-ready Father’s Day gift when he’s off the grid.
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.
