We've counted down the worst of the worst in car gifts, from well-meaning packages such as the crappy tool kit, to the outright abortion-of-a-gift that is the Chicken Soup book for people that like NASCAR. But which gift from the ten shown in our Black Friday-celebrating Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide would send you running back to the store? What gift would send you running for a gun? Basically...

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: What's The Worst Auto-Related Gift?
We've counted down the worst of the worst in car gifts, from well-meaning packages such as the crappy tool kit, to the outright abortion-of-a-gift that is the Chicken Soup book for people that like NASCAR.

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Shatter Sports Decals
Unless you're the first person ever to have one, the fake shatter sports decals with the baseball/puck/bass coming out of the window is perhaps the most white trash gift on the market. In fact, if you're the first person to put one on your car you can go straight to hell. We'd like to throw an actual baseball through the window of anyone with one of these on their cars. More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Fake Spinner Wheel Covers
It's not a shock that we want the whole spinner rims phase to die a quick death and we therefore hope that the fake spinner wheel covers fad will hasten the overdue end of those vehicular eyesores. That being said, we never want to be part of hastening their demise by actually putting them on any of our cars. More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Chicken Soup For The NASCAR Soul
Joke if you must, but NASCAR is a legitimate form of racing with a legitimate fan base. That being said, even the most enthusiastic NASCAR fan would be horrified by the folsky-wisdom and sickly saccharine sentiments contained within the pages of Chicken Soup For The NASCAR Soul. We feel bad even putting the picture on the site.More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Cheap Tool Kits
Nothing says "Thanks Ma" like stripping the hell out of your wheel's lug nuts because you wanted to use a gift. These kits come in "all purpose" "auto specific" and "auto emergency" varieties and all come in a cheap plastic case. The thought is "Hey, this person loves tools, let's get 'em something big and heavy." That's a nice thought &mdash but what the hell is someone going to do with those cheap ass gloves? More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Car Seat Covers
When you're gift shopping and your choices are between NOS-brand, sheepskin or floral just walk away. While you may be able to pull it off in an old beater or a car with stained seats, no one with a nice car is going to want to cover up their premium leather seats with Hawaiian Punch-colored faux-sheep's wool. It's just never going to happen. More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Luxury Automaker Brand Clothing
Nothing says "I'm a poser douchebag" faster than a Ferrari or BMW tie/t-shirt/hat. This is doubly true if you don't own a BMW or Ferrari. Real Ferrari owners don't drive around wearing $12.00 polyester shirts with big ass stallions on the front, they wear $5,000 pants. C'mon! You don't need to advertise when you're driving around in a Ferrari, the car kind of speaks for itself. You only need to advertise when you're driving around in a Tercel. More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: The Decano Fake Sunroof
The Holiday Re-Gift Guide continues our anti-Black Friday assault with an aftermarket item you've seen on these pages once before. While faux-scoops and exhausts are the automotive equivalent of calf-implants, there's something especially insidious about a fake product that imitates no performance increase of any kind. Thus, we have no problem blacklisting the Decano fake moonroof applicator, despite the fact the site insists "A CAR WITH A SUNROOF LOOKS EXTREMELY GOOD!!!" More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: The Tornado Air
Probably our favorite piece of crap-technology is the Tornado air-filter thing. The results it promises are a little-less than fantastic, as you can achieve a 1 to 2 MPG increase by just assuring the proper tire pressure level. The basically-useless piece of metal works by creating "unique airflow dynamics" to "atomize" the fuel allowing "better flame propagation" and "making the fuel-economy faeries fly out of your exhaust."More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Embarrassing License Plate Frames
There are few, if any, license plate frames that we'd ever consider putting on our whip, which is why MAD_SCIENCE rekindled our hate with his suggestion that license plate frames of any kind are basically objecta non grata in the car nut's stocking. There are so many land mines involved when making this kind of suggestion. More »

The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Fast and the Furious Merchandise
We agree with SWATLAX, anything Fast and the Furious related is a major faux pas when purchased for anyone but the most hardcore ricer wannabe. And if there's a gift that's worse than FATF-themed merch, it's FATF-themed merch that comes in the form of a freaking book!. More »
