People keep asking me for gift ideas, so I wanted to see what performance/maintenance/tool items people would recommend that cost $100 or less.

I need hat recommendations to round out the outfit

I actually really do have one of these- It draws a lot of attention and I'm not sure how much of it is wanted.

If you do not have either a column lock bypass/LMC5 or a skip shift eliminator if 6 speed car, they would be a good choice.

I asked for a shift ****. Love me some nice polos so asked for a C5 emblem polo off NCM site as well. Car detailing products as well?

Good ideas. I have a C6 shifter but like some of the delrin shifters

Armour All car vac/blower, bought mine at Autozone for $49.95, the attachments make getting in small area’s possible.


Also bought at Autozone scrubber wheels you put on your drill, a big flat one, small flat, and bottle brush type, used the big flat one scrubbing shower walls and floor with comet cleaner, it worked really good at cleaning both walk in shower and tub/shower, have not tried on cars yet, but could probably clean tires/wheels with ease.

Carwash and wax kit by Turtle wax, wash soap with wax, tar and bug remover spray, interior cleaner/shine spray, tire dressing spray, spray on carnuba wax, maybe the tar and bug remover spray was not included.

Is this for people asking you for ideas what to buy you for Christmas or for you buying for others?

Give them the type/brand and quantity of engine oil, oil filter part #, engine air filter.

I never buy gift cards, got a $50.00 Blockbuster video gift card for Christmas 2011, tried using it February of 2012 and told “sorry we got bought by Dish network and your gift card is not valid since we are under new management”

It is for my car but I wanted to keep it generic incase others could use the info. How is the armor all car vacuum? I have a monster commercial shopvac that is a pain to roll around and requires step down adaptors for the car tools so I would like something smaller that still has enough power to clean floor mats.

I think you are like me and all the rest here. We're pretty lazy. I too have a kickass shop vac. I do however stop at the automatic car wash and vacuum my car. It's free and the vacuum doesn't need to be rolled out and put back. (pita) No real difference in the vacuum quality. Both are equally powerful.

It’s not bad, got to looking and noticed the one sold at Autozone is slightly different and includes mini adapter/tips. AA256 is model #.

I really like the mini adapter/tips, have used it more around house than car, small tip gets inside window tracks when you open windows, got years of built up dirt/dust, also the suction is more powerful with the mini tips.

If you're looking for gift ideas for Corvette enthusiasts under $100, you might consider personalized items like custom keychains with their name and Corvette model, or customized car decals featuring their Corvette's details. Another option could be a high-quality car cleaning kit with wax, polish, microfiber towels, and tire cleaner to help them keep their Corvette looking its best. You can also check out customizable gifts. These personalized or practical gifts can make a Corvette enthusiast's day without exceeding the $100 budget. Happy gifting!

Well, I don't know about the $$$ limitation but I hear these come with any Vette and it doesn't matter what generation. lol
