Anybody out there ever got a car for Christmas? Or how about some really nice auto related stuff for Christmas?

Or...maybe even a Christmas Hemi?

Thats never happened to me.But I was wondering if anyone ot there ever got some jaw dropping Christmas gifts that were auto related?


BTW, Merry Christmas everyone!   :cheers:

I haven't celebrated Christmas in decades so I just gift myself the goodies whenever I want.   :yesnod:

Seems to me that my wife may have bought me my impact wrench set one year, now that I think back on it.

Perhaps the wives feel just a little bit overwhelmed in selecting automotive presents for thier men?

Me thinks they just need some helpful suggestions to sort of guide them?

Perhaps leaving a year one catalog laying around ( in every room) with a certain item circled?   Or letting her just "accidentally" overhear a conversation about a particular wished for item?

Seems like I walked around in the tool section a few times one year, and just absentmindedly commented on how much I would like to have a new impact wrench set.  :drool5:

Bought myself 4 "peddle pump" wheel dollies today, does that count??  :lol:

Our first Christmas together I bought my wife a Ruger 10/22 and she bought me a 21gal air compressor with goodies (impact, air ratchet, die grinder, etc). She's definitely a keeper.

When the inlaws ask about something for me my wife tells them to get summit or jegs gift cards.

Bought my wife a T-bird for our 25th anniversary, mint green.  With a big red bow on the hood.

I just got some pretty cool glass tumblers with Dodge Challengers on them.

Nice!  :laugh:

 Surprise my wife this year for Christmas with a new 124 spider.  Italian car made in Japan with Mopar parts, and somehow it turned out really cool ;-)
Merry Christmas

I got some cool glass tumblers for Christmas from my brother in law. They had old Challengers on them. I was proud of them.

I washed them today, and all the artwork came off and disappeared, and they are now just plain glass. I didnt see any decals or stickers in the sink, so I dont know what went with the art work.  :flame:

Bermuda triangle, I guess?

The box had official Dodge logo on it. I dont know what happened?

Any of you guys buy any of the Mopar themed glasses that have the disappearing art work?

I wonder if they are even safe to drink out of?

:iagree: That's their only model that doesn't look like a clown car.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

That's because its a Fiat in name only.....
The 124 Spider is based on the MAZDA MX5 (or Maita or Roadster depending where you are from). Mazda ships a virtually-complete MX-5 to Fiat's facility in Italy, where the engineers tinker with it. It gets a different engine and tweaked suspension, as well as strikingly different body panels. The result is a car that is mechanically similar but very, very different in attitude.
