Same. They think my obsession is stupid so I don't bother to ask for car parts. Mostly money this Christmas. It'll help pay off the painted hatch and gear install.

I got a Dynomax Race Bullet, exhaust cutout, and some stainless steel band clamps. That was what I needed to finish my exhaust system. I also got some CE rear drag shocks, and Auto Meter oil pressure & water temp guages.

I didn't get anything at all for my car except a $100 gift card to Sears. My mom "lost" the extremely detailed list I made for her. That kind of ticked me off because I spent a lot of time making it as precise as possible with direct hyperlinks, contact information, and details. Not to mention all the time it took to make looking up what specific tools I would need to put my engine back together after I rip into it. Oh well, time for a tool set and / or a mig welder. I'll be headed to Sears within the next few weeks and ordering the car parts that I want.

No kidding :\ I didn't get anything for mine, although I didn't ask either because it's just too expensive now that I'm older. One year I got a 4" Big Dick Suspension (which is really a 6") lift kit and 33" on rims for the Suburban I had. That was so awesome, I miss that Burb

Anyways, this year:
-Razer Copperhead Tempest Blue computer mouse. Very nice, lurve it
-2 Ginormous pillows to watch TV/Movies on my bed.
-New Beard Trimmer. It's a Wahl XL, works SO nice, oh man, can't believe it. Gets as close as a razor or a real electric shaver.
-Star Wars: IV A New Hope to complete the LAST set of Star Wars Original Trilogy I'll buy. (It's the latest crappy Special Edition but it has the original theatrical versions on DVD. I'm a big nerd as well as grease monkey heh)
-Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest Special Edition
-$50 from my Aunt.
-Summer Sausage from my Aunt and Uncle
-Unreceived gift/s from my Aunt in Colorado. But as some may know, they've been having crazy snow storms delaying all in and outbound flights and mail.
