9.) Air Freshener

Reader Miss Mercedes - smart Guru can tell you why an air freshener makes an excellent bad gift:

"It either means two things:

1. I know you love cars, but I don't know what to get you.

2. Your car stinks.

Either way, it's an insult..."

7.) Fake Scoops/Air Vents

Give your friend the illusion speed with with adhesive scoops and air vents this holiday season. Obviously doesn't work if your friend has a new Buick with the non-functioning vents installed at the factory.

4.) Ferrari Clothes

Ferrari clothes are great because they work whether or not the recipient has a Ferrari – if they do, they look like a douchebag poseur, and if they don't, they still look like a douchebag poseur!

3.) Headlight Eyelashes

What could be better than the gift of embarrassment? Doesn't work if the recipient is a deliberate troll and will put these on their car ironically

2.) Truck Nuts

Especially great if the recipient owns something like a Series I Jag E-Type.

1.) Fuel Shark

What could be better gift for the gearhead you despise than the gift of complete, utter bullshit? I certainly can't think of anything.
