**Official Annual X-mas thread **2007**
 
Ok, back by popular demand, the "What the fuck i got for x-mas" thread of 2007 is here.

Feel free to post the goods that you either bought yourself, given to you by a loved one, or just plain stolen !! Pics are always a good thing.....people love pics of stuff.


Well, as you all know, x-mas came a lil' early for me this year with the addition of the car. I did however, get myself another set of side view mirrors. I want to send them out to be painted the same color as my car. I'll save the original mirrors though. Also, my uncle is going to make me 1/4 window covers out of aluminum (just like the originals found on the '65-66 race shelbys) I'll send them out with the mirrors for the final touch. Pics to follow nigs.

I won an ipod nano at the company christmas party. and it worked for about an hour and now is a $200 paper weight. Spent 20 mins on the phone with a guy from apple doing the exact same shit I already did to try to troubleshoot it. Still doesn't work. What a POS.

I already got a new Winter jacket from my folks. Other than that I don't expect anything other than a card from my girl.
I'm gonna be living in my dorm room all winter as I got a job working at a ski mountain. I'll most likely be working X-mas eve and day as well. Yay...

Bought a PSP for 50 bucks. I wouldnt mind getting a new camera body, or maybe a flash for my camera. I am taking Intro to black and white photography next semester so I will probably get my grandmothers K1000 reconditioned.

Kind of confused here....a week+ in Puerto Vallarta at my friends timeshare seems like a solid gift. Same with a 4-6week abroad in Barcelona rooming with my best friend. What are YOU asking for?

I took the passenger side airbag out of the car yesterday and removed it from the cover. Sending it out to get signed by Carroll Shelby.

Also ordered a custom license plate for the car. That should be coming in a few weeks.

Unknown_Sniper 12-15-2007 05:23 PM

Having the airbag signed? Why the airbag of all things?

Just out of curiosity, why do you need that on your truck, do you use your truck for work?

So when it deploys the passenger can be assured it was Carroll Shelby Approved. :goodjob: :D

It's the most popular place for his signature. The "original" cars of the 60's had glove box doors in that location. We have air bags there now so.......everyone is having him sign it there.

Nice, you do it commercially? What type of setup you running?

m00nraker 12-17-2007 09:16 PM

Just a 7.5' Fisher on my 02 Ram 1500... nothing too exciting.

And no, just my driveway and a few friends/neighbors ... not in it for the money, just got tired of shoveling!

9mm BeRetTa 12-18-2007 09:40 AM

I have a 8' plow for my 03 Ram. Like you, I'm not plowing for $$.

It's an expensive hobby...

Looks like you bought a serious lightbar there. A while back I bought a $20 rotating magnetic amber light for when I'm plowing but I think it's going to look real cheesy, so I don't even use it. It's not like I'm plowing roads or parking lots.

m00nraker 12-18-2007 10:08 AM

Well i got a hell of a deal on it, that was the main reason i bought it. I might just end up reselling it. I could probably get double what i paid

I also have a thing for lights. Ive got strobes in all 4 corners of my truck. My last car was all decked out with them too.

Nyck 12-22-2007 11:50 AM

I got a $2500 dollar bonus at work and the a 1600 point xbox live points card for secret santa

Whatada 12-22-2007 12:01 PM

getting a new rig with an 8800 GT. maybe I'll be able to play Stalker at a reasonable FPS now. :l

Arkan 12-22-2007 07:05 PM

Finished my shit yesterday and found this poster in Spencers. Got the frame later in the day and put it together last night. I'll be hanging it in the garage.

Believe it or not, some guy on a car forum told us about this poster so....while i was at the mall, i stopped in to take a look. And as luck would have it, it was there.
