'Tis the season, what do I get a car guy?

Yep, it's that time of year again and this year, I'm stumped.

I've been trying to come up with a gift idea for my younger brother and have had no luck.  He's a car guy but these days he rolls around in a 06 Focus ZX3.  Usually, gift ideas come to me with ease but for some reason it has been tough this year.  I'd really like to get him something he can use and not some gift certificate.  Something that says, "hey buddy, I put thought into this one."  Trouble is, I've been thinking and nothing has come to my feeble mind.

So I'd love to hear any suggestions.  Heck, even post up what you really want to see under that tree so I can rip off that idea for myself.

Cheers!

2. You're right about the magazine subscription. Maybe I should get him a subscription to Car Craft and get him back in the proper frame of mind. :)

3. Give him a single stage spray kit for the thing and let him taste what real cars do. 100 shot of Nos on that thing shouldn't hurt it too bad if he isn't using it ten times every day.

4. Thankfully, the bottom end of the Duratec 2.0L is a bit stronger than the old Zetec motors (which I believe were made out of paper mache, popsicle sticks and paper clips). It might handle it. 75 shot is realistically the most I'd spray one.

I do know of a nice kit for sale for him though...slightly used but fully complete. Hmmmmm. It is down to something like that or this nice Walther PPK he's always wanted.

5. Get him the subscription, its cheaper and it might get him out of that Focus.
