Getting a late jump on Dad's Day shopping? The seventh annual Big Boys & Their Toys Men's Luxury Expo has plenty of great gift ideas for the man in your life, whether it's a car or a Space Age easy chair.

Speed is the main theme at this weekend's expo at Phoenix Civic Plaza, where plenty of cool cars, motorcycles and boats will be on display. Just ogle vintage muscle cars, custom bikes and the new Lotus Elise, or pit your driving skills against Al Unser Jr. in NASCAR and Indy car simulators.

You also can improve your golf swing with computer sensors, and, if you're brave enough, step into the boxing ring with Harwood "the Hit Man" Hamilton.

There's plenty for the less-active man as well, from the latest in barbecue grills to metrosexual hair and skin-care products.

Trust us, Dad will appreciate a trip to the expo more than a new tie.


DETAILS: 2-8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday. Phoenix Civic Plaza, 111 N. Third St. $8-$12. (602) 331-4744.
