speedFather’s Day is this Sunday (June 17!) and you may be facing the same old question… what do you get for the guy who has everything?

Chances are, he’s already got a collection of nose hair trimmers, soap on a rope, and drawers full of cuff links.

Here’s a hint: there’s a reasonably good chance your dad might just have a need for speed, on the ground or in the air.

So, for Father’s Day, it may be time to give him… the ride of his life.

AH-OOGA! If your dad is more old school and appreciates the slower, classic cars, try the Rent-A-Roadster in Monterey, California. He can choose between an authentic reproduction of a Model A Roadster, Mercedes SSK, or Ford Phaeton and cruise along the world-famous 17-Mile Drive in Pebble Beach, known for its massive mansions and the Lone Cypress.

Or, if he wants to enjoy a full day, he can drive along the rocky coastline on Highway 1 and visit Big Sur. This drive is narrow, windy and mostly sits along cliffs, so even if the car can only go 50 mph, the drive can still offer a slight adrenaline rush. The average cost for a two-hour rental is $30 to $40, a five-hour rental is $140 to $190, and an eight-hour rental is $210 to $280. Insurance can also be purchased for $5 a car. 831-647-1929, https://www.rent-a-roadster.com

If your dad prefers the slow beat of the island life, the Waikiki Parc Hotel offers a new Room & Vroom package for guests. You and Dad can take coastal drive on the island of Maui in a 2006 Lotus Elise. The hotel can arrange a customized itinerary and steer you to sight-seeing favorites. Take the Elise, with a top speed of 150 mph, along H-2 North and encounter Ohau’s famous sugar cane and pineapple plantation fields en route to the world-famous North Shore.

For a spectacular morning drive with sunrise views, take H-1 East and cruise the south shore rugged cliffs to Hanauma Bay, a bay famous for snorkeling and its marine life. The two-night Room & Vroom package starts at $565, based on a single or double occupancy, and it includes a 24-hour rental of the Elise and complimentary porte-cochere valet parking. Additional nights start at $195 and Lotus 24-hour rentals are available for $175 per day. 800-422-0450, https://www.waikikiparc.com.

For the father who have a passion for those flame-red Ferraris, Red Travel offers self-drive tour packages in Italy. To complete the Italian experience, your dad gets to choose to drive either the Ferrari F430 F1, Ferrari 430 Spider F1, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti F1, or Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1. The four-day Rome & Tuscany Ferrari Experience takes you along steep, winding roads of Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany and the route of the legendary Mille Miglia race. Most of the tour will be on country roads with little traffic. The country road speed limits are around 55 mph, but it may be tempting to go a bit faster if he’s driving Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1, which tops out at 205 mph.

You and Dad can stay in luxurious, five-star hotels, including the Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort, located in the hills of the picturesque the Val d’Orcia. Dine at top restaurants and make pit stops in Rome, Florence, Siena and Pisa. And, during the entire tour, a private tour director organizes the tour, who is available by walkie-talkie, and can clean the vehicle, refill it with gas, offer technical support, and is available for any questions your dad may have (hopefully he’ll ask for directions if he’s lost). +39 011 6165 219, https://www.red-travel.com

GearboxDoes Dad love cars but never had that adrenaline-pumping chance to learn how to maneuver on a track? Well, at the Porsche Sport Driving School, he’ll get that chance. Located at the Barber Motor Sports Park, the track drive is landscaped with iron artwork–including an intricate spider and dragonfly–hidden in the trees and sprinkled throughout the track. Lots of turns, hills, and sharp turns make this track difficult, but once your Dad takes a performance driving course, he will feel like a pro.

Once he learns the basic vehicle dynamics, he’ll get behind the wheel and learn the proper driving line and master a few of the technical corners of the track. The next day will be spent learning heel and toe downshifting, competing in the Michelin Autocross Challenge and spending the afternoon on the Cayenne off-road course.

During this course, your dad will get to drive a variety of Porsches, including the 911 Carrera S, with a top speed of 182 mph. (For the ladies, the driving school also offers a special Women’s Only Two-Day High Performance Driving Course.) The Performance Two-Day High Performance Driving Course costs $2,995 begins with a classroom session. 888-204-7474, https://www.porschedriving.com.

If he’s always wanted to fly a fighter aircraft, you can make his those Gun dreams a reality with Air Combat USA. This company is one of the first dog-fighting schools in the world, and here your dad will learn how to fly aerobatic fighter aircraft and challenge another individual. The mission will include six g-pulling dogfights, high and low yo-yo’s, gunsight tracking, and lead, lag, and pure pursuit.

Instructors come from both military and civilian backgrounds and fly along with your pop in a SIAI Marchetti aircraft. The best part is that he gets to control the plane about 90 percent of the time. The company offers a variety of deployment locations, including Chicago, Detroit, Santa Barbara, Long Island, and Charleston. It costs $1,195 per person for two-and-a-half to three hours. 800-522-7590, https://www.aircombat.com.

And finally, for the ultimate speed-loving experience, if he wants to go as fast as currently humanly possible (and if you have plenty to spend), reserve your dad a space on Virgin Galactic. On the world’s first “spaceline” as a non-professional astronaut, your dad will actually have the opportunity to experience flying into space in a spaceship modeled after SpaceShipOne at nearly 2,500 mph, which is over three times the speed of sound. At the atmosphere’s edge, he’ll experience zero gravity and have the best view of Earth.

The flight will go beyond the internationally recognized definition of space, which is 330,000 feet above the earth’s surface, and will reach around 360,000 feet. Before the flight, he’ll have three days of pre-flight preparation, bonding and training onsite at the spaceport. Each flight will carry six astronaut passengers and two pilots. The cost is $200,000, and flights start in 2009. https://www.virgingalactic.com.
