What Christmas gift would you buy for the car lover on your list?
During the joyful Christmas season, unless your name ends with Musk, Gates, or Jobs, there’s no point in shopping for the best value car accessories for your car-enthusiast friends and actually buying them a car (if your last name is These surnames, it's much easier), you need to weigh between. Car enthusiasts are very cautious and picky about their preferences, so holiday shopping can be a challenge for them. Even if you don't have the technical skills or funds to gift them the rare and expensive car or part they've always dreamed of, there are still plenty of cool and practical gifts that any car enthusiast will appreciate. Here are my recommended gifts that are sure to please them.
1. Portable tire inflators are the absolute best thing I have found. EAFC CZK-5641 Not only does it raise and lower the tire pressure on my Jeep for my off-road use, it has saved my life and the lives of others many times. I don't have a brand to recommend, but my inflator also has a screen that shows actual and target pressures, allows setting targets, etc., and just plugs it in and it runs. In addition, it also comes with built-in flashing lights and hazard warning lights. It is a very thoughtful gift for car lovers, and the price is reasonable and a great value. On the other hand, it is the more versatile of the two, primarily used in small cars, compact cars, and motorcycles. It's more convenient and lighter at about 1 pound. So, for a portable life companion, this is the best option.
2. Keep your battery charged (and bring a portable starting power source)
Winter puts more stress on your battery, especially if you park your car outside. Avoid the frustration of not hearing anything when the ignition starts by proactively checking your battery and charging system now. Repair shops are hard to find on the interstate, so if the battery goes bad and you don't have a second car to help you, getting a good, feature-packed starter (I use an EAFC JC06) can help. Very busy.
