So what did everyone get?

My brother got a white 2003 Jetta VR6

I got a Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar, autographed by Joe Perry from Aerosmith!! And my V1 came in yesterday... so i think i am set for life.

sti deede · 2004-12-25, 11:22 AM

I got some liquer and a blanket. I got my christmas buzz on.

Hopefully when I get to my parents I'll get my Black Skyline Xmod.
All I want for Christmas is a black Skyline, a black Skyline, a black Skyline.
Yay!

tysonK · 2004-12-25, 03:31 PM

yikes!

Nice guitar.

sti deede · 2004-12-25, 03:52 PM

I also got 2 Black Skyline Xmods.
Aye. :shock:

MattR · 2004-12-26, 03:54 AM

I got a 20 G iPod. And some other cool shit..

sybir · 2004-12-26, 08:42 AM

Money (whoo!), a Citizen Ecodrive Titanium (my arm is now indestructable

)
And a bunch of books.

Can't complain.
The new iPods are pretty sweet, I bought one for my dad. The new interface is a ton better than the 3G's.

Oh, and Nick got me a sweet Toyota GT-1 model. Nick rocks!

I couldn't decided if you'd like it, or hate it (considering how much time will need to go into the model

)

tysonK · 2004-12-26, 02:33 PM

I got "The Office" series on DVD. The british comedy that so far is funnier than office space and there is tons of episodes to watch yet/

My roommate got me the Dj Shadow DVD with his music and dj'ing and stuff on it. Look s super cool.

tysonK · 2004-12-26, 02:36 PM

Sounds like everyone got some cool freakin gifts!

What a way to start the new year.

dknv · 2004-12-26, 07:26 PM

Probably my best present was, my daughter telling me it was her best Christmas ever.

Libila · 2004-12-26, 08:13 PM

I got a 1971 Super Beetle

Wow, that's a bold statement coming from a kid.

You must have really made everything great Debbie!

Just wait until she gets a shifter kart and you and her go racing the following season!

It'll be scary if she gets into a kart! I am afraid I will be left in the dust, with no hope ever of catching top ladies pax.

6-drawer rollaway tool chest,
IR pyrometer (fancy adjustable emissivity model),
Racheting metric wrench set,
Sears gift card,
and some other assorted crap.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2004-12-27, 09:06 AM

They're definitely worth having if you're disassembling/reassembling the upper shock mounts of a Bilstein-equipped sn95 Ford Mustang frequently.

I was curious as the what parts on a mustang use metric sizes...now I see.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2004-12-27, 09:46 AM

Actually almost every chassis, suspension & brake fastener on Fords are metric; apparently they switched from SAE in the late 70's. Powertrain fasteners, however, are still SAE...

Quite annoying to have a mix of metric & SAE on the same car.

Harbor Freight has them fairly reasonable.

Harbor Freight has *nothing* at a resonable price, unless you intend to use it only one time. And even then, you may have to replace it, like I had to with my 19mm deep impact socket that cracked during *the 1st use*.

That's too bad. I have a torque wrench and scissors from Harbor Freight that are still working great 3 years later. I think it depends on what it is.

MattR · 2004-12-27, 10:36 AM

So did anyone get anything cool for their Subaru?,.. I forgot to mention, I have an Invidia turbo back and Injen Cold Air intake on the way for my car...a little present to myself..

Nick Koan · 2004-12-27, 10:36 AM

Eric's Harbor Freight breaker bar (which started its life as a torque wrench) seems to be working fine.
