Sometimes men, choosing the right power tool is more about accessorizing than grooming. And if you do it right, who cares about a bad comb-over, bristly tufts sprouting from your ears, the hairy back and whether or not a lack of undergrowth makes the tree look taller.

Wrapping yourself in a couple of tons of steel and chrome that can go from 0-60 in 6 seconds or less will do just as much for your image as anything you can shave off or laser on. With 250-330 horsepower under the hood, who cares what is or isn’t growing on the roof? And traveling along with the top down at 70 MPH, not only is it better to not have any hair at all, all the trees appear to be the same size.

Cars can do as much for self-image and self-confidence as a hairless chest and it doesn’t make it a midlife crisis. (However, hair plugs AND a hot car probably do make it a midlife crisis.)

Gillette has recognized that vrrrrooming can be as important as grooming. Its Young Guns campaign features six NASCAR drivers dressed to the nines in their black, yellow and red jumpsuits. Face it, do all the manscaping you want, but it’s covered up for most of the day. The first thing everybody sees is what you’re driving when you pull up to the curb. Step out of one of our favorites like a Corvette, Mustang or Infiniti, and it won’t matter if you’re missing a couple of teeth or wearing a pocket protector.

Of course the razors, Mangroomer, nose hair trimmers and follicle-stimulating lasers don’t come with monthly payments for the next five or 10 years, but they’re not nearly as exhilarating.

Sometimes, power tools don’t have to be about amps, milliwatts, nanometers or volts. Horsepower will do just fine. Admit it: What sounds like more fun – putting your grooming tools back in their chargers or sitting in a Charger yourself?

• How about a Classic Corvette?
• The Thrill Machine? Ford Mustang.
• The Muscle Car: Dodge Charger.
