The NASCAR Helmet Radio/CD Player is a triumph of function shoe-horned into form. Or do we mean that the other way round? Anyhoo, we’re talking a full sized racing helmet with a CD player and FM radio crammed in, complete with a set of audio outs so you could – ohmigosh just the thought – hook it up to your new Bang & Olufsen hi-fi had you such wild desire. $79.98.
This life-size NASCAR helmet sports the brilliant colors of Jeff Gordon’s car #24 and conceals a full-featured 24-track programmable CD and radio inside. The face guard slides smoothly out as the disc drawer; a reproduction autograph from Gordon will thrill racing fans.
That’s assuming that a new Bang & Olufsen hi-fi wasn’t as tightly closed as an Apple iPhone.
