I got an ass chewing for something I did months ago and insulted for something else. Christmas can be brutal.

Hey, I smoked a 912 voltage regulator and got to fix a Type 3 shift linkage so I had a car that actually ran, since my wife is taking our reliable car on a trip tomorrow...

Something from my past...

I got my surprise early. Went down to Portland this past weekend, stayed at the Sheraton. Stood in line from 8am till 6pm in freezing rain for "first come first serve" General Admission seats for the sold out U2 Concert !!! The last stop on their North American tour! My wife said, "Merry Christams, Happy New Year, Happy Birthday and enjoy it because that is all your getting for a while!"
We got lucky and were in the Elipse, right in front of the band! An experience I will never forget! What an awesome gift!
Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Posted by: Dave-O Dec 24 2005, 11:06 PM
Some gifts I bought for myself: Koni yellows for the rear and 6.5" minilites.
Some things I "think" I will be opening tomorrow: Rear adjustable coilover kit and a 1gb memory card for my digital camera so I can record all my AX runs next year.
I'll keep you informed! 
Merry christmas!

Cool surprise!!
Who got that for ya? The folks?
Bring 'em over sometime this week and we'll hook 'em up...
Not sure what's coming my way yet, though I have reason to suspect a Hans device from the wife(
Nice to know she wants my head to stay attached!) and some new driving shoes. 
That would be pretty amazing...Will confirm later...
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!

Not the folks, they got me the tires and some sick dockers pj's. Yes, cool pajamas, go figure.
THe harness came from my aunt and uncle, whos daughter,(my cousin) is dating a really nice guy who is into a few aspects of racing. Landspeed, top fuel, etc...
anywho, they got the harness from him, and said that I can get the 2nd one for cheap, as well as him wanting to install a cage in my car
I will for sure drop by the shop this week.
Hope everyone enjoys their time with family this year.

To be honest, I only know his first name, and its Brad.
I had his family race teams website as a favorite not long ago, but I deleted it by mistake.
Unfortunately, his grandfather died while trying to break his own record for fastest piston engined.
Parachute malfunction led him to two decisions. Roll it out, and hit the highway at that lay a half mile ahead of him, or attempt to turn. He attempted the turn, at 350mph. he hit a wet area on the flats and he rolled in the mud.
I'll get the family site for you, maybe even take you along with me to their shop in Point Loma with me if your lucky. LOTS OF TOYS there.

nothing, basically, per design.
Joy and I are giving each other the house we're in, which is not only a big lump of cash now to get us through closing (and why i no longer own a 914...) and somthing we'll be paying for for a long time....
Posted by: anthony Dec 25 2005, 10:02 AM
My washer crapped out for good yesterday so it looks like a new washer and dryer will be my Xmas present to myself. You can tell from the tone of my typing that I'm very excited, can't you?

I got to help my son replace the clutch on his '01 Mustang GT.
I would rather assemble 10 dozen cv joints blindfolded while sitting in a tub of burned gear oil.
Never want to do that again......

Now I REALLY have to get the race car done...
Posted by: dralf Dec 26 2005, 05:33 AM
Believe it or not, 2 small jack stands !
I have 6 big ones that I use for my 914 repairs, but when my kids bring over their Hondas I can never seem to get those big ones situated correctly and end up using chunks of fire wood to prop them up...well now I am set, SAFETY FIRST.
The stands were on sale at Sears for $14.95, that is what my girlfriend paid, yet I spent well over 600 Bucks on her, some how I got the short end of the stick once more.

Posted by: TimT Dec 26 2005, 05:26 PM
My Bros gave me a year of XM and the reciever..
And about coal. We have been giving and getting coal since we were kids. At some point my parent put lumps of coal in our christmas stockings as a joke. My brothers and I have been giving these same lumps of coal to each other going on 40 years... Yes its a silly family tradition.
Posted by: anderssj Dec 26 2005, 05:52 PM
On one hand, symbolic coal (tie from mom-in-law) . . . on the other, an anthology of poetry my older son wrote about our trips home to MN over the past 20+ years (who'd have thought a rugby player would write this stuff).
Most touching was a poem about how my son remembered my dad at Christmas (the "old man" passed over ten years ago).
It's hard to know what makes an impression on kids as they're growing up . . . but my son's rekindling of fond memories at this time of year was priceless.
Happy New Year to all.

It was an early gift of sorts but GTEENER is getting a much needed makeover.
Got the body dings removed and fresh top-side paint, new LE front valence on the way, passenger-side mirror got rebuilt, the rims are getting re-finished (due early Spring) and I think a nicer front chrome bumper is in the works.
McMark's buddy Brandon did the paint & body work. McMark is managing the rest.
Should be a nice Spring
