The men in my life love cars. When I was little, I'd sit in my dad's lap when he watched the Grand Prix and he would tilt from side to side as the cars curved around the track. As I grew up, my brother and dad would drag us to car shows and races. And even today, they'll stop the car in a parking lot if a Porsche or Jaguar drives by, roll down the window, and tell us to be quiet. "Listen," they'll whisper. "Isn't that magnificent?"Inspired by my favorite car enthusiasts, I present a few Valentine's gift ideas for men....
Le Mans tie
The design of this tie reflects the track of the Le Mans race in France. $45
Rendezvous DVD
This 9-minute film is car porn. Early in the morning, a man gets into a Ferrari and drives at terrifying speeds around Paris. After tearing through red lights and screeching around corners, he stops the car and meets a beautiful woman. The 1970s film is taken from the driver's viewpoint; the director Claude Lelouch was rumoured to have been arrested when it first aired. Trust me, you will be the coolest girlfriend ever for tracking this down. About $20
Ferrari drawings
Tennessee-based illustrator James Noel Smith loves Ferraris. He draws gorgeous illustrations of them, with notes about each car and its history. Prices vary.
Intersection Magazine
A British car magazine for men who love cars and fashion. $9.99 (year subscription)
The Manometro
Designer Giuliano Mazzuoli turned the look of a tire pressure gauge into this striking watch. $2,800
