Default Car fanatism showoff. Where to get them?

It has been quite some time since I have been looking for a table lamp in the shape of a car and the light to come out from the car's headlight. I have never found such an item. On the quest for this lamp, I discovered many different items to decorate and show car fanatism. I would like to decorate my room with weird car items. For example, I have seen car-chairs being sold, or tables with an engine holding the glass table... I have seen many interesting items.

What I am asking for is for people to post items that can be bought (links to the pages where they sell them would be great) to decorate your home and show you are a car maniac.

examples: Cool car phones, car-related keychains, shock absorber pens, car dashboard with working clock, gearbox umbrella etc.





I am sure many people here will be interested in such items.

I have always thought an entire cuttlery / crockery setup made from miscellaneous and forged engine parts would be awesome.

An overturned 409ci aircleaner lid for a turkey tray - hydraulic lifter salt and pepper shaker - piston and big end bearing combo coffee mugs - valve stem knives and forks - con rod serving ladles - dished piston crown coasters - rocker arm teaspoons etc etc...

IMO the best way to decorate the house in a car theme, are the scale models

No way - a couple old rust bucket cars on bricks in the driveway and along the side of the house - a torn down small block in the tub - and chrome Fikse's on your trailer home to round out the ensemble...

I have seen a ferrari gear knob plunger for sale! Cant remember where though. I dont only mean for interior decoration, but any item like the umbrella I showed. I want to buy many cool car-related items so I am looking for ideas and places where to buy them. There must be some kind of webpage dedicated soely to sell such items
