What Yall Got For Christmas?
 
I got a new Challenger with lots of cubic feet in the motor, fuel injectors everywhere and all the good stuff, some clothes (extra sizes of course), a 3,485 tools in one tool, an electric filet knife to clean all those fish I'm gonna catch, and I got a real live Cat, white with gray striped spots. My wife was walking through the pet store and looked at the adoptable rescue animals and there was this cat named Lucky, and since last year we rescued a Beagle that we named Lucky, she thought it was a sign from God that we have two Luckys. First order of business is to fatten up Lucky 2 cause she is a little thin. Whudd yall get.

first and most of all gift i received was my son back home safe from Afghanistan. Then he bought me a new Madden 2011 game, the boys also got me a bunch of movies and hot wheels. Biggest thing is having all 4 of us together for x-mas as both boys are moving to Fort Carlson, CO in June and this might be the last x-mas we have together as a full family.

Merry Christmas everybody

The wife finally listened to me. Got a new Actron 9190 diagnostic scanner. Now I can not only work on new stuff, people can drag their old sh#* over to the garage and I can look at it too, LOL!!! It's what I did really want. One of my buddies is happy, he wants my old little handheld scanner. Told him if I ever got an upgrade, he can have it. We trade work and tools all the time. Now, he gets a xmas present too. She also got me a new pit cart, a wagon, if we get a car running this year, will have a way to haul tools from the trailer to the pits and back. Overall, not a bad Xmas.

My Christmas present to myself was a 3500sq ft. shop with 220 volt 3 OR 660 phase power and air lines all around the entire shop, plus a full ton electric hoist. I painted the floor and put new carpet in the office.

My father gave me a new portaTree 2000. I am very happy he did.

THANKS DAD!

Joe, your sons being stationed at Fort Carson gives you a good reason to come visit my neighborhood. I'd be happy to be your tour guide to the Pikes Peak region!

This is what I got for Christmas. I blew up the engine in my Isuzu Impulse three weeks ago. The car was 20 years old and had other things wrong with it, so it wasn't worth fixing. I went to Kia's R Us and bought a Rio. :)

Got the opportunity to spend Christmas with my four daughters and the seven grandchildren that two of my girls they gave us.

Got Carnival Cruise Line tickets. Leaving town on Monday for a New Year’s cruise with Linda and two of my daughters/husbands (the ones without kids).

Got released from the doctors for my May auto accident injuries.

Was hoping Santa would prod the FAA to issue my Airman’s Medical Certificate so I could get back in the pilot’s seat, but the bureaucracy in Oklahoma City moves slower than a stocker with a broke axle.

Hoping ya'll had a Merry Christmas, and wish a Happy New Year to all of our racing family & friends.

Hey nitro check out the teams on Maden, look up pierce bluejays our local high school team. A local kid put his 2008 high school team on it. First name on the players list Ramsey Meyer my son and was starting center on that 08 state Championship team and backup on the 07 State Championship team. You can never be to proud of your kids. Hope everybody has a great new year and stay safe. Tom

We no longer exchange gifts, preferring the kids spend their money on themselves/their family. Mark & I have been married long enough, we buy what we want for ourselves anyway! lol The only thing I asked for was to have the day with my family. Our three kids, their spouses, our three grandchildren, my parents, brother, some family friends, shared the day with us at brunch, dinner or both. I feel truly blessed. It was a wonderful day!

Isn't that they way Christmas should be?It's maddening to see the emphasis put on about this gift and that gift.Christmas is all about family and celebrating the true meaning of the day.
Julie,hope is all well with Mom and Dad.Maybe you can make it East again in the near future.

Jeff,

Since meeting you and many others at Indy, my Christmas present has been in the works. Without the understanding and support of my wife I would not have my shop today. It is still being finalized but it will give me a place to build and store my car(s), truck and trailer.

Steve

PS, Many thanks to all of you who have offered ideas and thoughts as to what works best in a shop, I have been reading/listening.

Got to see my youngest daughter get home safe from college at ECU, and my oldest daughter and her husband fly in from Oklahoma. I have not seen them since the wedding in August. I got to spend time with my family at Moms (who is now wheelchair bound) and eat some "wicked" chicken stew and vegetable cornbread that Mom proudly made. Got to live another year, will be 51 in a month, and still have a job as a paramedic and will be eligible to retire with the state in 2.5 years. Life and God is good! Don Jackson

Re: What Yall Got For Christmas?
 
My Christmas present to myself on the 23rd was an enclosed trailer so I can put one of the race cars in there and have room in the garage to work on the other. This is just step one of many that it will take for me to get out racing again. Next is the custom hitch fabrication for my old Dodge motorhome which was quoted at 2,100 dollars, (not happy about that) Then two trees have to be removed and a 50' blacktop driveway paved so I have a place to park when I get home from a race late at night, and that's before I put a second or a penny into the car that has been sitting for 6 years which will have a new engine and class, hey, it's a start, Paul.

I got these cool billet wheelie bar wheels. That's my bling for the race car this Christmas.
Santa was real good to the kids this year. Somehow though, he screwed up and made a wrong delivery. Now we have a 7 week old Maltepoo puppy.
What I know so far is this. Three 8 year olds and one ten year old will flat wear a puppy out!

Well...found another 20 CFM or so on the cylinder heads in the last week ! :)
So yes, at this point I do have the trickest set of front wheels made, a custom set of one off rear wheels and wheelie bar wheels that match the other four wheels and yes, all sitting in a pile in the corner! :(

Jeff,

I woke up, and did not hear any soldiers died overnight so it was a good start. Just send that little engined old Challenger up here, we go slow and will take good care of it!
