[U53D]

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. :D :D

[sti deede]

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

yikes!

Nice guitar.

[sti deede]

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

[MattR]

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

[sybir]

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 :p)

[tysonK]

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]

Sounds like everyone got some cool freakin gifts!

What a way to start the new year.

[dknv]

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

[Libila]

I got a 1971 Super Beetle :D

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!

:twisted:

:twisted: :lol: 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. :lol:

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

[MattR]

Racheting metric wrench set,
:D

I was checking out a set of those at sears...they're expensive, but I think worth having

[AtomicLabMonkey]

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

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

[AtomicLabMonkey]

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

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*. :P

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*. :PThat'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]

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.. :twisted:

[Nick Koan]

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

I have a little thing I'm adding to my stereo for aux input, but thats about it. Though, I may have a belated Christmas present for my suby, a brand new one :D

Funny, in my Christmas shopping I saw LOTS of things I'd like for myself; whereas I couldn't find the presents I was looking for, for others.

That was me this year. A little something for someone, a little something for myself, at nearly every store I went to. :D

Well, now I'm definately getting it... 8)

I have a full Craftsman set for may garage, but for the rare and unusual tools I seldom use, or something to carry in the car, HF stuff is just fine.

Yes, the Pitsburg deep impact sockets I had sucked as well, but everything else I have from them works fine.

Snap-On. MAC, and maybe Craftsman are the tools of choice for people who make their living with their tools use, but HF is fine for the rest of us in most cases

Maybe we shuold just choose to disagree on this.

I'm just ragging just to rag.

HF tools are good for the average person for rare jobs.. like a spark plug socket, or something.

However, Craftsman tools are not all that expensive, and while they're not Snap-On by any means, a home mechanic will be hard pressed to break 'em.

I just wouldn't trust HF tools for important jobs... like a torque wrench or something. So far the only HF tool that I'm pretty happy with is my aluminum jack... but I paid $130 for it, so it's not like it was total bargain basement like a lot of their stuff.

The bottom line is, "you usually get what you pay for"... assuming you do a little research before buying. If something seems too cheap, it probably is.

humm, well my bro is thinking of an FMIC.. but not sure.. as far as christmas goes, nothing special.. definetly not a car part.. but i guess i did get money. I'll try to put it into a gt30R turbo, manifold, wastegated downpipe, tuneing and a ton of gas money! hahaha.. :twisted:

:oops: .. hey no one said it wasn't ok to dream a little.. it is christmas.. :lol:

[AtomicLabMonkey]

Last night I just went and got an SAE racheting wrench set as a companion to my aforementioned metric set, courtesy of Mr. Gift Card. 8)

[ScottyS]

I got the 6-book history of WWII by Winston Churchill, plus two books from his autobiography! A couple of gift cards to BB as well....
