Don't look now, but Valentine's Day is just days away. Are you still searching for the perfect gift for that special someone? On the one hand, you could serenade them with flowers and chocolates for the umpteenth year in a row. But if your sweetheart is a car fanatic, this could be your chance to make like a racing enthusiast go the extra mile.
Courtesy of New Motors Subaru, here are six Valentine's gift ideas for the car lover near and dear to your heart.
A Day at the Track
If your gearhead is an avid fan of NASCAR or Formula One, chances are they've fantasized about what it would be like to sit behind the wheel of their favorite race car or luxury vehicle. Fortunately, there are spots to test out exotic cars at high speeds firsthand throughout the country. Check out the Xtreme Xperience race track in Pittsburgh, where you can pilot Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and more around a 1.6-mile course, starting at $249.
While you're at it, consider throwing in a new pair of leather racing gloves. If your significant other is going to spend the day cruising around at breakneck speeds, they should at least look the part.
A Full Detailing
What better way to express your love than by showering your partner's car in love? After all, the only thing that beats finding a brand-new car in the driveway is finding your trusted, reliable car looking like brand new. Detailing can be as thorough as you want it to be; treat the exterior to a waxing, polishing, or repainting, while shampooing and lathering the interior. Detailing will do much more than save a trip to the car wash - it will resuscitate that new car smell.
An Automotive Getaway
Go big this year by planning a trip to one of the auto world's premier attractions. Book a flight to Los Angeles and visit the Peterson Automotive Museum, featuring one of the largest car collections in the world. Get lost in a world of gears and glamor when you check out iconic movie cars at Universal Studios. Or perhaps you'd prefer to vacation north in Detroit - the birthplace of the modern vehicle - and its nearby Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn. The options are endless, and if you decide to make a road trip of it, cruising the open road with your significant other may be a gift in itself.
Lego Car Sets
Whether you're seven or 70, it's hard to go wrong with Legos. When you don't have the money to gift your partner their dream car (and who does?), the miniature version can be just as thoughtful. It helps that Lego sets are now available in virtually every configuration you can imagine. Ferrari, Corvette, even James Bond's Aston Martin... you and your partner can spend the rest of the winter assembling them together. With price ranges from $20 to $500, Lego kits are agreeable with every budget.
Amazon Echo Auto
If your beau is still driving an earlier car model, keep them connected and entertained with the affordable Echo Auto. Simply connect through your phone's Alexa app and enjoy a modern, hands-free driving experience. Listen to your favorite music or podcasts, call and message using voice commands, and more - all through the magic of this pint-sized add-on.
Driving Sunglasses
Let's face it - you're (hopefully) going to be driving around with your partner all year long. The least you can do is make sure they don't embarrass you. Keep the motorist in your life looking good with a pair of aviator glasses, such as this pair from Cyxus, which mixes UV protection with a classic style.
It's All in the Game of Love
Make this Valentine's Day one they'll never forget when you pay us a visit at New Motors Subaru.
