Last-minute gifts for car buffs

So, we've got a few days left until Christmas (and for those who give gifts at Hannukah, I guess it's a bit too late). Still haven't bought the perfect present for the car fanatic in your life? Well, here comes About.com to the rescue with mhy list of the ten best gifts for car buffs. I tried to go beyond the items you always find on these lists (sunglasses, 1/8th scale die scale models of cars you can't possibly afford in real life, Ronin on BlueRay) and come up with some truly unusual items and experiences. (Oh, and thanks for your suggestions from a few weeks back -- they really did help.) Don't like my choices? Then feel free to make your own suggestions. Too late to shop for XMas? No worries, this list also works for other special occaisions, like birthdays... speaking of which, mine is coming up in August.

Oh, one more thing: One of my suggestions is a subscription to one of my favorite mags, Grassroots Motorsports. For the holidays (though 1/1/13, in fact), they are offering a year's subscription for ten bucks -- go to their subscription page and use the promo code "hoho". -- Aaron Gold
