Default So what is your 'bird getting for Christmas?

I for one like to buy stuff for my car year-round, but with Christmas just around the corner we have a good excuse to pick up some more stuff. What are you giving your 'bird for Christmas?

I'm giving the following to my 'bird:

UMI Performance LCA Relocation Brackets
Hillco Fastener Warehouse LS1 Engine Bolt Kit
MBA Shifter Ball & Grand Am Shifter Boot (boot already installed)
Oil Catch Can & Custom-fabbed bracket
!wire mod (just did the !hood latch cable mod)
Cleaning supplies for 2007

I just finished up my triple pillar guage pod & guages. That was a two-month project, so I guess I can't count that one

My other good purchase excuse was the TSP Rumbler X True Duals that I bought for my birthday

A new water pump from autozone.....

Other than that, hopefully a porter cable with various polishes and pads. Not much of an x-mas for my car.

I am struggling this year. My wife claims both the 98 and the 78 Birds and says that they are both fine and don't need anything. Guess I will have to resort to getting toys for my Grand National! I was thinking though of a set of Jet Hot off road headers and a matching y-pipe with removable cats, and a gift certificate for a dyno tune afterwards.

CAMSHAFT!!!!!

I've only been trying to decide for about 12 months now. I still don't know which one to get. I'm leaning towards a TSP 233/239, but I'm still reading a lot of different threads.

I also requested money for X-mas to put into my rear end savings fund. I have money directly deposited out of my paycheck into savings. In roughly 1.5 years I'll be able to pay in full a 9".

Probably nothing. I know it wants a turbo kit, but I can't afford it.

With various thumps and clunks, my boy was pretty insistent he get some new rear end parts ("Daddy, my axles hurt! and my differential is BROOOKENN! Have I been good this year? Is Santa coming soon?"). So Santa Moneybags brought him Moser axles, Auburn diff, 3.73s and a rear rotor resurfacing. He's much happier now.
Of course, with the 3.73s he's still whining a bit (this stuff went in just yesterday), but I'm hoping that given some time he'll realize what a good Daddy I am and shut the hell up!
