Play Footsies
Piloti is Italian for "racing drivers" and no truer expression could be found to describe this performance driving footwear from Piloti Shoes. Using his background in biomechanics and design, owner Kevin Beard created the Touring line of shoes especially for car enthusiasts, rally junkies, and street rodders. Tested by our top racing drivers at Le Mans in up-coming Race Professional styles, and faturing an exclusive, patented Roll Control heel technology designed for heel-to-toe downshifting, reinforced heel and toe areas, and tough double-row stitching, the Prototipo ($85) is constructed of a combination of high-quality suede and mesh to offer the fit and performance expected from Piloti, and is now available in a pretty black and rose color combo. What woman could resist these? Note: Piloti shoes are sized for men, so when ordering online, convert to a woman's foot by shifting 1.5 sizes down. http://www.piloti.com/products/touring.aspx

Help Her Find Her Way
If she's a classy lady driving a classic car, here's an easy way to give her a navigation system that won't break the bank, or require any installation into her dash. Garmin's nuvi 200W will guide her with detailed maps on a sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display and with clear, voice-prompted directions. Ready to go right out of the box, nuvi 200W comes preloaded with detailed street maps -- including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs, and more -- for the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico (or regional coverage in other areas). Navigation is just the beginning, though: nuvi 200W includes many travel tools such as a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator, and more. The nuvi 200W sports a sleek, slim design that will fit comfortably in her pocket or purse, and features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot. While Garmin's official suggested retail price is around $350, Amazon.com and other online retailers are pricing it around $230, so shop carefully to find the best deal. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=9122#
