Electric Sports Cars for Eco-Friendly Egos

In most guy situations, bigger is better. Bigger office, bigger house, bigger paycheck, bigger boat, bigger personality, just bigger - I think you know where I am going with this. Tossing aside the preconceived notions of bigger comes the little electric sports cars that are becoming an energy-efficient ego-stroker in more ways than one. From the Tesla and the Fisker to the newest electric model from Renault, guys are zipping around to work, on errands and just plain joy-riding in these diminutive yet darn-good-looking cars that don't use a drop of gas (or just a skosh).

After the driver is done coasting down the highway or racing through the back roads, he just pulls into the garage and plugs it in for an overnight recharge. Or, for the uber-green guy, plug it into a solar-powered carport for a really eco-friendly recharge. Don't you love how this puts a whole new spin on guy's competitive, one-upping - "no, my Tesla uses less energy - well, my Fisker is smaller" - and so on, and so on!

One thing about this little electric cars that is still larger-than-life is the price tag - many of the models cost $80K, $100K or more! But, how can you afford NOT to have one when you are only expending a couple per mile on energy! It's a tree-hugging choice in luxury gifts for him -- that's our rationale! If you are looking for an automotive-inspired gift for guys, but can't afford cost of one of these beauties, check out the Fix-It Key Chain. This handy little fob not only can hold the precious keys to his sports car, but opens up via a hinged silver-tone case to reveal both a flat head and Phillips head screwdriver for all those roadside emergencies - not that he'd ever have one in a Tesla, Fisker or Renault. Still, it's good to know that if his designer sunglasses become loose from the convertible-top-down winds, he can just pull over and take care of that little problem.
