Well, all my "car" related gifts.

Mmmmm, a new dist cover for a vette, polishing time




These are the correct wires for my car right?




And the biggest surprise of all, my parents took a pic of my car, and had a poster made out of it :hail:

 

I like! Christmas was good to me as well. I still have the rest of the family to get stuff from, but I think its safe to say that its all going towards the car right now.

I did however got something from my student loans. A $1,000 rebate! That'll set this car up for some performance mods.

 

sweet man, your parents did a good job.

 

here's my christmas present, i spent all morning putting it in. 4th gen camaro seats

 

Iroc, your poster is Awesome, your parents did a good job! Those are the correct wires for your car.

Christmas was nice to me also. I didn't get many Car parts, but inbetween what i bought myself and the stuff my parents got me it was great. My dad got me some specialty tools from snap-on :hail: I was going to be happy with craftsman! Hope everyone was blessed also.

 

oh those look nice also, good color design

 

nice presents...cool

 

MY Ex-GF bought me that Camaro calender also!
It was like 18 dollars Canadian, which surprized me but screw her ex-gfs suck anyways.

 

Sweet man. I need me some MSD wires/cap/rotor/coil... Here's what I got, and I HIGHLY recomend them. Anyone here that needs them, screw polishing your 15+ year old stock crap, new ones are a billion times better...

 

... and clear signals, gotta love 'em...

 

I need to get some of those clear lights, mine look horrible. However, I did have 1 cool present. My parents gave me a GM Performance Parts ''Fast Burn 385'' Crate Engine for christmas. I am so excited, I can't wait to put it in. Hope the rest of you got some good gifts also.

 

LOL, that would be SWEET if I could just go back to school and some guy is like "So what did you get?" me: "Ahh, nuthin much, my parents just gave me a GM Performance Parts ''Fast Burn 385'' Crate Engine, gift cards... the usual..."

 

how much did they cost you and where did u get em?

 

An engine for Xmas??!?!?! :hail: :hail: That is SWEET!!!!!! I didn't do too bad....

B&M Megashifter
POSI Unit
EuroGLow gauge overlays

I had a TransGo shiftkit and a gear drive on the list as well, but the wife got me a $300 watch instead.... you know, one of those "symbols of our love" things. Um.... watch.... shiftkit.... watch.... shiftkit.... wife.... I guess I'll let it go and take the watch and be happy (and make her happy! (Nice a$$ gold watch, though!!! )

Look out father's day... headers and cat and gears!!! :hail:

Later,
Mike

 

nice gifts!

 

kool gifts...too bad i got nothing like it.

 

sorry, I don't know the part number for the front turn signals, my dad got them for me. I think he got them off of gmpartsdirect.com He said they were like 30$, but I thought they'd have been more then that

 

This is highly unusual, i have never gotten gifts that even come close to the price of the engine. But yea, it is kinda nice when people ask me what i got and I say "I only got one present... A "Fast Burn 385" Engine".

 

i got that same calender

 

WTF!!! I got ripped off! Not to be rude but are you guys loaded? I have to buy everything, I mean everything for my car. I think I will get my parents to read this and have them re-evaluate there gift selection! LOL. Thats awesome guys. Best of luck on installs and hurry up and post some pics.

 

hah i put my seats in this morning. i guess you can say i am an eager beaver. now i'm selling my old ones.

il'l take some pics this week i don't feel like walking to my underground garage.

 

Woohoo xmas rocked, nice to see that so many of you guys got car parts I got Accel Runners, a camaro book and from my GF a new steering wheel !! can't wait to put everything in

 

I got the same calendar.

 

That's cool. I would love to have a poster made of my car - not now, but when I get it painted and get the interior and engine worked out.

 

nice guys.......here is my camaro stuff.......didnt get the camaro poster but got a muscule car one......plus one thing missing from that pic......a squigee

 

I got some MSD Super conductor wires as well, but mine are p/n 31409. Thats what the guy I talked to at summit told me. Anyone know whats up with that?

 

Oh and I also got a boost gauge for the Merk, a matchbox Sierra XR4i (pretty rare), and a zipzap. No pics of the boost gauge yet, it will be here tomorrow.

 

Sweet gifts! Christmas was very good to me. My parents paid off my car for me so now I have an extra $250/month to spend on my baby. Here come the N2O, wing, hood, and paint!!!!!!!

Brian

 

The only thing i got that was car related was the same calander as in the first post, and a creeper. My parents are also throwing me some cash towards a Borla cat-back. My 21st b-day is also in two weeks from today. later, and Merry Christmas-Bryan

 

My relatives know I love the car....so they try. But what did I get....for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.....that Turtle Wax complete car kit. To all those that may have gotten one....beware. The wax will actually make your paint look duller. I'm going to dump the turtle wax products out of the nifty bag it all comes in and fill it with some Meguiar's products. I think it's about time Zaino started making holiday gift backs!

 

i got a book by John Linginfelter (sp), on how to build SBC engines for your application, it takes apart the engine and explains it and things you can do to the engine for fuel economy or crazy azz horse power/torque. its sweet, my dad got it off e-bay for like 1.50 plus 5.00 shipping, it had no reserve and was only on for i think 3 days?? oh well its sweet, ive already read the like 12 chapters twice today.

 

Whats the book called???
i got the camaro poster too, its ok, no car stuff though

 

Not to be rude, but WHO THE F**K GETS AN ENGINE FOR CHRISTMAS? Or who gets their cars paid off from their parents? Man, I wish my folks were loaded.

Anyway, I got some cool stuff, 14x3 K&N open element, ssbc front brake upgrade, and a cool die cast of a 73' SD455 T/A, along with a die cast of the 68' Stang in Bullett. Good Christmas.

 

Even if my parents were rich, they still would not buy me an engine or paint job for christmas. They will shell out thousands of dollars if it is school related, but other than that - nope. I never ask for anything on Christmas because there is not much that I want this time of year. I get stuff all year long so Christmas is just another day to me. I prefer to buy my own Christmas gifts (after Christmas) so I can avoid receiving anything I don't like or can't use.

I still enjoyed my Christmas until 1:30 am when I swallowed a piece of lamb chop that was too big for me to swallow and spent the next 5 hours trying to wash it down.

Sounds like a lot of you guys had a good Christmas too.

 

just gotta realize everybody is different dude, even when it comes to finances...

 

"just gotta realize everybody is different dude, even when it comes to finances"

obviously!

 

Dude, I got the same calendar that you got! The Car and Driver one with the Ram Air bird! I had a cow when I opened that up. I love that car.


I also got air compressor tools... dual action sander and a 3/8" drive air ratchet.

Got a rolly adjustable shop stool that has a parts bin on the bottom....

I got a Rigid shop vacuum too!!

Oh and to top it off I got 3 gift cards for the tool department at Sears! Craftsman tool time!!!!!

got a Johnny lightning 68 firebird,

a 27 inch RCA TV

a Kodak Digital camera, OH man is that thing sweet!


a Spencer 6 string guitar from my wife and a poster that looks like a blue print for KITT

 

It'd be nice to get all car stuff.

I got a few things that people 'think' you want, but ya don't......

like 2 shirts, a sweater, socks (which IMO are always a good thing), lighters, a base ball (from 10yr old son), and a tin picture of some 53-67 'Vettes.

The stuff I got that I like more are
$100 from Ma & Pa
$500 from Granny
<--- This book, a buffer, and an angle grinder from my wife

We did get my 3 1/2yr old son something really cool though.

 

My brother got me that calendar.. the silver IROC in it is sweet. Hell, all the cars in it are sweet.

And I got a digicam so I'll be posting pics of my intake before and after powdercoat and other pics.

 

My dad''s partner died last month, so he got a lttle bit of a bonus for doing the work of 2 people. He worked very hard for it this year. And so did I, a 4.0 in college isn't the easiest thing to do.

For christmas I normally get a couple of shirts and some other little things, nothing major. So actually getting something worth money is new to me. I have paid for my car and education so far, so don't think i have an easy life and my parents are loaded.

 

Hey, I got a 350 for christmas too! Its out of a '67 SS Camaro.



maybe if I water it, it'll grow lol

 

you got your 3 year old a girl how cool

 

NO!!!!!!!

I got him that picture!!!!!! :sillylol: I just blew it up, printed it out, and taped it to his wall!!!

Seriously, he's got enough girlfriends at daycare. I wish I could me a young player again.

 

i did pretty good this year....craftsman 251 piece mechanics tool set.....big tool box.....crane 266 energizer w/ lifters , springs pushrods, valve seals,valve retainers/locks, and a complete overhaul gasket set...should last me till i can afford a 350 zz4 shortblock this summa

 

I'm still lookin for some clarification here. We have different p/n's but the dude at summit told me these were the ones. Anyone know if they'll work? Thanks.

 

I agree that getting a 4.0 in college is not all the easy. The closest I came was a 3.5. There are just too many distractions (thirdgen.org for example) that prevent me from achieving that elusive 4.0.

Everyone has a different financial situation. I don't care what class someone belongs in because It doesn't affect the way I act towards that person. Not all rich people have an easy life.

I have a very easy life right now since all I have to do is go to school. I got grants and scholarships that paid for most of it so that I only have to work in the summer time.


I hope you guys are enjoying your gifts. I can't wait to get some universal HEI distributor boots for my MSD wires so I can finally put them back on my car. I want to get some foglights too and put them behind my plastice mesh.

The only thing car related that I got was GTA Vice City. That's all I need to fill my days until I go back to SIU on the 14th.

 

LOL. I was quite the lady's man back when I was in daycare through 5th grade. I don't know what happened once I got 6th grade. Before, all I had to do was show up - now I actually have to try. I hate working hard.


Powerwheels were fun as kid. I was more paritial to the big wheel until the big plastic tire developed a flat. Would it have killed some one to make those wheels with real rubber tires.
