X-mas presents for Porsche nuts

Inexpensive, good presents for us Porsche nuts. Thinking about asking for a subscription to Autoweek. Asking my wife for tires just doesn't go over well. Other thoughts? I have most of the good racing books.

Yep, that's a good one. Personally I have it. Grid chic would be great but that's not inexpensive nor a good request from one's wife.

I like my Porsche Design bathrobe, it lets me get into my Porsche very first thing in the morning.

Tires did not go over well with my wife either (although i just bought some hooter wets...) so I went to stand 21 and got a suit.

Expensive is relative.

Inexpensive = under a few hundred. I don't want her to know what it costs to run my car on the track. Chaps LOL, but live near Midtown Atlanta so could be miscontrued. Have Excellence and think Autoweek could be the ticket. An FI ticket would be an excellent idea...........except Bernie has his head ...... Somebody should make a cool '09 RSR coffee mug.

Yes, but Autoweek does have BWTM!

Isn't it getting a little late to come up with gift ideas?
Well, FWIW, check out these sunglasses for under $200.

http://www.e-rudy.com/index_inner_de...m_id=SN941014D

They have just the right amount of polarization to cut glare, while still allowing you to clearly see LCD readouts on your gauges.
Very flexible frame and lenses makes them easy to wear under a helmet.
Outperforms ray ban, maui jim, oakley, etc. IMO.
Most retail outlets are optometrists, which tells you something...
Another model from this company won Outdoor Magazine's Gear of the Year of the year award.
