Lego Ferrari

Prancing Horse’s latest limited edition automotive masterpiece is the Daytona SP3 with 829 horsepower. Lego’s Technic line has created a highly detailed version of this rare limited-production Ferrari supercar. The replica measures almost 60 cm in length, and has functioning scissor doors and paddle shifters. It also features moving cylinders for the V-12 engine. But first, of course, you’ll need to assemble the Daytona SP3’s 3,778 pieces. Purchase the Ferrari SP3 Kit for $500 at lego.ca

Old-school T-shirt

Laid-Back sells a variety of vintage-looking products, including signs and accessories. Although the themes vary, the passion is clearly automotive-focused, judging by the variety of men’s, women’s and children’s short- and long-sleeve T-shirts. The company’s collection includes classic pickups, Bonneville salt-flats racers and similar images. You can also choose from many well-known classic or muscle car designs. T-shirts are available at prices ranging from $28 to $32 (U.S.), plus shipping. These and other cool dudes can be found at laidbackusa.com

Rim cleaner

Using a cloth or sponge isn’t enough to clean the mounting face (or flange) on the back side of wheels, which are prone to corrosion. A specialized tool like the Mueller Kueps inner rim cleaner is recommended for this job. It comes with a base as well as a replacement hook-and-loop cleaning disk. Attach it to a drill and hit the switch to transform the surface from grungy and rusty into shiny. You can then reinstall your wheel. According to the company, a clean face helps balance the wheels. Get full details at mueller-kueps.com. Amazon.ca has the cleaner for $122
