Some years after changing your diapers, packing your lunch for school and hauling you to hockey practice, your mom probably helped to teach you how to drive. If you've ever made fun of her driving, she'll likely remind you of it without hesitation.
With Mothers Day right around the corner, why not consider scrapping the usual generic presents in place of something cool for her car? Whether new or old, your Mother's ride could probably do with some accessorizing, cleaning or dressing up to make it more enjoyable for her to use. After all, doesn't she deserve it?
Pick up some drive-thru car wash tickets from your local gas station to help mom keep her ride clean. Most of these don't expire for several months, so she can keep them tucked in her sun visor for a while. They'll run you between about 6 and 9 bucks apiece.
Now that you've outgrown flinging Cheerios, crayons and fries around the cabin of Mom's car, wouldn't a good interior cleaning be appropriate? In addition to significantly increasing enjoyment and looks, a spotless cockpit packs that extra sentimental value that comes with a hand-made gift.
Break out the vacuum, some vinyl cleaner, Windex and a few rags, and you'll have the interior looking factory-fresh in no time. Leave Mom at the spa while giving her car a spa treatment for maximum effect.
Lazy? A detail shop would be happy to do the work in an hour or so.
Of course, many Moms have the 'clean and tidy' thing under control. If that's the case, why not consider buying yours a sense of direction! The market is packed full of navigation systems that can be fitted to any vehicle. Priced from under $200 to more than $600, you'll be able to find Mom a system that's perfect for her needs and your budget. Most users find aftermarket navigation systems easy to learn and install, and many come with a memory to store common destinations on board.
A GPS navigation system can make up for years of missed turns caused by flying toys or childhood hissy-fits. You can even pre-program all of the local McDonalds play-land locations, just for fun.
