Cool Fathers Day Coming up so soon?!?!

Hello All. I have trying to come up with an idea for a Fathers Day gift for my hubby, he is a longtime member of the Rennlist and an absolute 928 fanatic (I just signed up so I can get the skinny on the best gift ideas). The cars, well they are cool but don't interest me nearly as much as they do my husband, that is my way of telling you that I haven't paid very close attention when he talks about all the goodies he wants to get for them. So as much as I loathe the thought of buying him the perfect gift for his "mistress" I know this is what will make him happiest. So any ideas? He has 2 928's, both are in good condition , but I think he wants to 'dress them up' a bit and I want to keep it under $300. Possibly something that will help preserve their value while they remain in storage for the better part of the year? Please email me or post a response and I will check back this week. Thanks

How about some neat 928 collectibles? No, you can't mount those on your husband's car, and they won't make it any faster. But they are fun to have...

I have a long list of collectibles, including 928-specific key chains, pins, scale models (die cast and kits), postcards, and even little 928-shaped erasers. Email me at nicole@mossinger.com for an updated list!

Dress "him" up. My wife bought me the black Porsche wool/leather laguna varsity jacket last year. Very nice.

Do you have a twin sister that's single and shares your understanding of the "928 mistress"???

If your hubby is into performance and a better sound. Maybe a Rear Muffler Bypass aka as a RMB from 928 International or 928 Specialist.

He'll love you twice over then he does already!

And just as a little extra, this plaque seems very nice and is very inexpensive.

A gift certificate to any of the vendors mentioned would be great.

My wife got me a Porsche bathrobe that is wonderful. About $65.00

That jacket looks nice.

Nicole has some cool stuff.

I have had my eye on this umbrella for a while. See: <a href="http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/MISC/POR_MISC_bot02F_main.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/MISC/POR_MISC_bot02F_main.htm</a>

For $60, it is large enough so that you can even snuggle up and share with him.

Wow! Thanks everyone! Some great ideas there. Mark, I didn't say I understood it, just that I tolerate it is all and yes, I have a sister, but her take on "horsepower" wears a saddle. LOL
In case some of you haven't figured it out, Shane E, you know, the one panting and salivating in the corner and cheering for all the suggestions is my other half and he always ruins his surprises by snooping around and guessing what he is going to get. GRRRR. At any rate, I will let you know what he gets, or he will I am sure. Shane, perhaps I should get you some of those owner/operator manuals you have needed for so long, you know, the ones for the washing machine, the vacuum cleaner, the mop, the diaper genie.........LMAO!!
