Live Thread: What did you get for Christmas?

It wasn't car parts. 

I got a whole car. I got it about 2-3 weeks ago but it was my Christmas present. 

(I purchased the car my wife put the bow on it  )

08 M5 with a factory manual transmission. 

So far I've only been to my mom's and aunt/uncle last night.  $40 from mom always fits.

But we did the silly white elephant thing last night, mom knew about my $15 Raising Cane's gift card but it got stolen.  I opened two packs of popcorn that I can't eat but realized it had a $25 Amazon card taped between them.  Being #5 I knew it would get stolen so I just held it in the air for awhile.

My cousin's wife got a $10 Chick Fil A card and a tshirt that said "Oh E36 M3 I picked the wrong white elephant gift".  I said I want that shirt, don't care about the card.  I'm wearing it to SWMBO's house later today.

Enough OEM parts from the land of the rising sun to keep me busy till work starts up again on the 2nd.

Merry Christmas all!

I had 3 boxes from Rockauto come last week and 1 more coming tomorrow. Merry Christmas to me from me. Bought myself another cheap used car 3 weeks ago. 

We bought a grown up bed- Tempurpedic something something very berkeleying expensive and a foldy Craftmatic adjustable base for it (ok it wasn't craftmatic but I feel old as E36 M3 with a foldy bed) and swmbo treated herself to a new Xbox because mine was faster than hers. Other highlights have included a new pair of Oakleys for me because 24 pairs wasn't enough, more lightsabers (Obiwan and Darth Vader) a couple new videogames, etc etc etc. Hard to remember because we don't really DO Christmas in a conventional sense. The Xbox as an example was- We were at costco buying parchment paper and it was the cheapest deal by a country mile for a series X- and we'd been talking about buying my series X a friend. 

I'll share more when the festivities die down, but my parents got me these really cool not-Lego sets.

Memory cards for GoPro

Tripod / selfie stick

ThinkPad P15 Gen2

so I promise more video from the Angry Garage in 2024

I miss that so much.  My kids are all grown now. One did not make it home because they had to work.  First time not all the kids were home for Christmas.  A new chapter in my life has started.
