What did you get for Christmas?

Woohooo! We just finished opening stuff. I rounded out this Christmas with an Alinco DR-635t HAM radio, a coleman camp oven, some lego, and some "Isuzus are better than Jeeps" T-Shirts

Ray Ban Aviators in awesome 70's State Trooper chrome!

Couple grand for more suspension mods.

The Samsung galaxy tab I'm typing this on.I bought 2 on black Friday to give one to our daughter planning on taking one back asI found a better deal. Well SWMBO didn't take the 2nd one back and wrapped it for me ;)

Also a couple of out of print Saab books

1 t-shirt, 1 casual shirt, 1 dress shirt, 1 tie, pair of metal work horses, orange duct tape home made wallet from 10 year old.

Camo Mazda hat from one bro.
Assassins Creed 3 from the other
(almost hate him, this game is bloody difficult and I'm a terrible loser.)
Bah Humbug.

Metal shrinker and stretcher, new rolling box for my airbrush and pinstriping stuff and some new Wicked Colors paints for the airbrush.

Some other cool bits too but that's the car related stuff.

Mrs. 914 asked what I wanted and the only tool I don't have is a decent buffer. So, a decent 6" hand held buffer to wax my stuff with; AND because I'm such a nice son in law, I'll wax your mother's Maxima as my gift to her.

I got $350 worth of pedistal grinder with buffing wheels.

Points for trying ......

Bunch of clothes for work and a three year renewal of GRM. Also my wife told me that in a couple years she might want a slightly more comfy DD, so I'll get the Cooper S for free to track. Yay!

Great things are bound to come out of this....I expect some suitably frankenstein creation.

Air Hogs Havoc! I wonder if she's been snooping the forums over my shoulder.

Oh, and my sister renewed my SCCA membership!

Engine work for the TR4. And a few random TR6 suspension bits

Head decked, hot cam, big valves and fresh springs, forged pistons, worked over rods, worked over rear seal (now uses a mopar rear main seal instead of triumph's chewing gum and twine thing).

No specific plan for them yet but as my arsenal of "basic" tools is relatively complete I've been trying to get more fabrication tools. I can think of a few basic things I may need them for coming up but yeah, I look forward to the frankensteining potential.

Lots of new clothes including a nice new leather jacket and a new camera. Nothing car-related.

Tamiya 240z diecast, money with the instruction to use it on mosin ammunition, soda maker, small RC helicopter WITH CAMERA!!!

A wheel bearing for the Protege.

Craftsman full size 20" rise 3 ton floor jack and creeper.
Some nice clothes.
Upgraded battery for the rc boat.
Dark knight trillogy.

This was a good year!

My usual Christmas list is clothes but this year I pointed my parents to the Flyin Miata cam gear ninja tool. My dad does a lot of woodworking and had a small piece left over from a current project. He decided to "spice" the gift up so the cam gear tool came in a case!

Nice, I like your dad's style.

Girlfriend and her parents: Pair of jeans, shaving cream, socks, undershirts, underwear, and a nice flannel.

Cousin (secret santa): Capo, guitar tuner, guitar book, itunes gift card, 6 pack of beer.

Grandparents: Money.

Parents/Brothers/Dog: Carhartt shirt, hardshell case for my vintage Gibson, Comforter, scarf, socks, Hot Sauce, Far-Side coffee mug.

I'm sure I have a few more gift cards and possibly a check from out of town relatives coming in. Our family goes nuts for Christmas, I love it. Since my dad has started going to estate sales every weekend, the quantity and quality of the gifts has gone up as well.

In reply to mapper:

That is seriously cool.

Mapper: that is fantastic!!!

I got an SCCA T-shirt, pair of nice jeans, a few Lowes gift cards (a sure sign of getting older), a stocking full of reese cups and a Ferrari 458 spider.............Hot wheels car. Not to mention great food, friends and family. It's been a good holiday.

I got a pizza stone and a Shark Steam mop. Has anybody seen my mancard?

A DeWalt 12v lithium ion compact impact driver and drill set from the g/f. She's tired of me using hers.
