My father in law, has several classic cars. Has a big garage just for them. Collects antique fuel pumps, signs, etc. Need an idea for around $100. Nothing for a car, as he buys, sells and trades them off. So he only has his cars for a couple months at most. Something maybe for his garage? Any ideas? TIA

Usually enthusiasts are pretty particular about their subject matter. Anything you pick out is likely to be disappointing. Get him something outside of the car enthusiast category.

Having a classic car, boats, 4-wheeler etc with batteries you can never have enough Battery Tenders. Stick to the Battery Tender brand.

or along the same line of thinking these new Lithium Ion Mini Battery Jump Starters look interesting, under your budget, and have good ratings on Amazon.

Not sure how far you are from Houston. What about tickets to one of those Mecum auctions?

Not yet.

I'll need see a W-2, transcripts, blood and semen sample ( grandkid potential) and family tree. :

I most probably know him; he's my age.

The battery tender idea is great.
