Well, we had a Keurig Christmas this year.
Keurig coffee maker, plus K-cups; hot chocolate for the kids, Hazelnut for the wife and Bold Columbian for me.

The 7 is still sleeping...(maybe the car gets something for Easter??)

Gift certificates for more tools *yawn*
But... I couldn't help but get myself a Braille 6-pound race battery and another set of Enkei RPF-1's.

Most of this stuff came in just before Christmas, but for the Cosmo I have just received a prototype MS3-Pro and harnesses, big box of wiring supplies, 900CC injectors, GT3076R, turbo flanges, fittings, TiAL recirculating BOV. Still in the mail are a set of 450CC RX-8 injectors and appropriate connectors.

And the greatest gift of all: sheet metal work will be finished by the end of the month. Let the games begin!

You know, gift certificates are pretty nice.
I'm a fussy fart and I don't like people buying me stuff unless it is the exact make and model and they get it on sale, too. So I end up getting it myself.

Which is why gift certificates are great.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any. Rats!!

My mom bought a diecast AutoArt yellow SA model for me. Fantastic detail and I'm told it wasn't cheap. Once I get around to building my IMSA SA model I'll have a nice lil collection going.

I have yet to open any of my gifts. But I think I've gotten a piece of my exhaust for my Miata.
Unfortunately I haven't gotten anything for the FD just yet.

Soon... soon...

MTB shoes, air compressor tool kit (75% off good deal) and a my sons Deals Gap Tail of the dragon shirt in a framed shadow box.

Nothing for the rotaries. Figured posted some sale of parts at a good price was gift enough to the rotary community LOL.

My early gift was a P1000, AEM smart coils and an FFE trigger kit. And the cherry is ripping out the chassis wiring to replace it, including seats and dash and etc to do the job.

Talking

My brother surprised me with a couple sparco bucket seats. They arent brand new but damn close! We had said we werent going to exchange gifts this year because I am on a tight budget right now. He told me that after talking about that he walked away thinking "awww Luke is out of money for his car, I should get him something for it since he cant" and then he shows up with these.....best brother in the world by far

My mom also gave me some car care products so my FC should be looking fine at the track this year.

The girlfriend got me a Pineapple Racing Oil Pan and 2 B&M Line-Lock Solenoids. With the help of some Christmas cash I bought myself a Gilmer Pulley Set and a full SS Hardware Set from Himni Racing for my new bridgeported and dowelled S5 13B

When I ask for anything car related, it is usually something that has to be ordered from the internet. Most of my family and friends don't understand that you can buy stuff on the internet now so when I ask for car stuff, I just get money.


That being said, I will probably put that money towards an aquamist HFS-4 kit.
