thinking outside the socks for dad

If you have some extra money and are looking for a nice Father\'s Day gift, 2004 Lamborghini Murcielago will definitely impress the elderly.
At 180 inch, it fits in most garages and 571-
Horsepower engines can power aircraft carriers.
Just a check for $282,000.
Say you\'re not that much? Hmmm.
While flowers and candy always work in a pinch on Mother\'s Day, gifts to dad are always more complex and expensive.
Even if you can\'t swing the Lamborghini, there are a lot of car gifts that may attract a gear head or a dad who often gets stuck on L. A. freeways.
Satellite radio receiver and one-
Subscription to satellite broadcasting services costs about $240 a year in total, a big gift, but it is often remembered.
Both XM and Sirius offer similar services.
This service offers 68 business channels
Various types of sports, conversation, news and entertainment and free music on 33 channels.
After the first year, it will cost about $10 a month.
Of course, a lot of people are Gear heads or gears-head wannabes.
There may be no problem with the wrench or screwdriver, but I would rather have a hand
Hold the engine code reader.
This beautiful device can plug into the central control module of the car and allow you to read potentially hundreds of storage codes that warn of impending disasters or simple problems.
The Innova 3100 obd ii code reader is one of the highly rated products produced by Equus products in Fountain Valley.
Even if dad is not going to fix his own car, the code reader will give him the knowledge to better manage car maintenance and negotiate repairs.
Since 1996, the Innova model has been available for all types of cars, selling for about $120 online or in some car stores.
At the other end of the spectrum, you might consider a perfume dispenser that brings a new flavor to dad\'s wheelscar smell.
My wife recently put a few of these things in her car, but they made me sick.
The good thing is that they cost less than $5.
In terms of smell, a better bet could be the car air purifier, a small device that plugs in a lighter and filters out at least some toxins that float off the highway. Ionizer-
Air purifiers for cars start at about $15. Three-
The stage system with charcoal filters is a bit expensive for $120.
It is easy to find on the Internet.
Tip: Google \"car air purifier.
\"The doodad I \'ve always wanted is a power inverter, one that will be 12-
The DC voltage in your car is up to 120-V ac current.
I don\'t know why I want this device, but I think I can put a small fridge in the back seat. A 200-
The watt inverter costs less than $30 and is sold in many car supply stores.
I will mention some old brackets like sheepskin seat covers.
These things look outdated but still sell well. A mid-
Range cover costs $99.
I know a lot of people buy leather seats in new cars, one of the stupidest features on wheels.
In the summer, I kept burning my legs on my leather seat.
So sheepskin may solve the problem, though they smell like roast lamb in hot weather.
Car ramps are very good items for people who sometimes crawl under the car.
I have never had these things, but sometimes I wish I had them.
I remember I replaced the starting motor on the car and spent about two hours leaning against the oil pan with my nose.
The car ramp costs about $25.
Every year, people have catastrophic explosions because they don\'t keep enough air pressure in the tires.
At the gas station, most people are too busy.
A better option is to have an air compressor in the garage. A low-
Terminal compressors are what you need and you can find them for $100 or less.
Finally, I will deal with the cheapest of all gifts.
If you don\'t have money because you\'re too young to work, instead of asking your mom for money to buy a gift, get up early on Father\'s Day and give dad\'s car first-rate cleaning.
Take a bucket of warm water and use some detergent-
Not washing dishes or laundry detergent.
Park the car in the shade;
Wet it, wash it with soap, then scrub it, rinse it, and dry it with a clean rag.
The interior windows use spray cleaners and paper towels and vacuum the seats and floors.
Shouldn\'t be more than an hour, which means a lot more for his wardrobe than another tie.
