Top Ten Gift Ideas for Drivers

1) Radar Detector
There are quite a few available on the market, but there is one which is better than the others because it is able to tell the difference between a real cop’s radar gun and a security system, gas station’s electric door, and other things that are too often mistakenly picked up by radar detectors! This radar detector actually talks, so you don’t have to memorize a bunch of tones to know what kind of danger you are in! The Passport 8500 ($299) also screens out false signals by measuring the exact “frequency signature” of the radar. For further information about this product, you can call 1 800-43303487.

2) Snap-On Tools, Chests and More
Snap On now sells to the public, via their website. Whether you are looking for a roll cart, overhead cabinet, tool organizer, tote tray, plastic box, parts storage case, tools or more, these coveted tools and storage containers (which used to be sold only by mobile vendors to automotive service professionals) are now being offered to everyone via the Snap-On website. Make this the year to get the tools out of an old dresser and into a bright red Snap-On tool chest!

3) New Snow Tires or Custom Wheels
Does the person you want to gift have a 4-wheel drive? Many people think they won’t need snow tires with 4-wheel drive, however regular tires tend to get very hard in cold weather. When tires harden up, it is hard to turn or stop, even with 4-wheel drive! Check out Tire Rack’s web page for additional information and good prices on snow tires. Most places which sell tires have a selection of special wheel rims also.

4) 2-way Walkie Talkies with a 15 mile system
Now they make walkie talkies which can be used between two driver!. Some offer voice scrambling security so other people can’t hear the conversation. Between Midland and Uniden, you can find several models.

5) Novelty and theme Hitch Covers
Have you seen the airplane propeller hitch cover - the propeller turns as you drive. Whatever the theme, there is probably a hitch cover out there for it, including one that says “Official Tailgater.”
