Default Name your gifts!

Alrighty well I know I had a great christmas this year and besides the struggling economy and many other stresses that was experienced, as I'm quite sure many others were in the same boat, it was great to spend time with the family and receive some things were completly unexpected. Hope you all have had a great holiday season and I know I'm looking forward to a good New Years.

Well anyways on a lighter note, let's name those gifts that you got that and possibly brag just a little to keep things fun and exciting .

I received a detail kit from a non-sponsor as of right now but I may possibly be working on getting them onto the site if I could have a moderator's help but that's neither here nor there right now. The kit uses a dual rotating polisher and is guaranteed to not burn the paint unless you want it to, so that makes me a very happy camper .

Secondly I got a digital camera from my mother that was completly unexpected gift and made it that much better so after I use the polisher and compounds I can take pictures and post them .

And other than that I got a decent amount of cash that will go to bills and some things to do for my g/f and I. Good thing I've got my birthday coming up in January cause then it will be pay day again ..


Well let's here what you got folks

The best christmas ever for me. Since i paid off my car last month and 3 years of being stock I decided to buy myself some mods. Start off with some mac mids, hurst shifter, slp maf and lid, slp underdrive, ls6 intake, Texas Speed 2.5 LS6 Heads, PRC Double Valve Springs, Magic Stick 4 TSP, Texas Speed Performance Chromemoly 7.40 Pushrods, ported tb and headlight gears lol. I had my bro wrap up everything and put it under the tree. I felt like a ******* kid again.
