Anyone get anything fun for Christmas?

Dropped a big hint to Maire Anne (like sent her the link to buy the thing on Amazon, which is, of course, like buying it for myself, but hey we all know we have to take these matters into our own hands... :^).

I've been wanting to try this for a while, as it looks like it will provide easy ability to compress the spring while the strut is still in place under the fender arch (note that, unlike the threaded compressors, there's nothing that sticks up above the top plate).

I'll let you know how it works out.

Anyone else get anything fun?

My new black loop carpet from Esty arrived yesterday! One of those "gifts to myself". The carpet looks great!

I bought them myself but I got a new guibo and shifter parts.

Also got lots of snow, good thing the 02 is in the garage at home.

I buy myself the car related presents, and this year it was a turbo steering wheel for my Porsche. As we know, a sporty steering wheel changes the feel of the car completely. It's great!

Well, just yesterday I received the balance of the $3500 I made for selling "Dewey the Christmas 02", and got to be there for the "Merry Christmas" delivery to the new owner - a 14 year-old boy named Nick with (I think) the coolest father in the world.

Alas, the kid's older sister had been reading their father's texts and spoiled the surprise somewhat by mentioning a "pink slip".. Who DOES that?

Anyway, it was cool to make a mint on selling an '02, AND feel good about seeing it go to a good home.

Happy H02idays everyone...

My three daughters did well, fuses from Steve, pedal pads from La Jolla Independant, seatbelts from Blue devils, and a 70's NOS Hella rear fog/brake light from "Nico" in the Netherlands, quite a Christmas.

i got the coolest little tin lunchbox-like container with the 3-Stooges on it from my sister.

after i enjoy an evening of watching the CD of the three stooges i'm gonna use this little nifty 3-Stooges tin lunchbox to store my emergency tools in the trunk of my 02.

would it be insensitive to ask her to fill my little box with a Snap-on tool set, too?

[BillWilliams]

A snap-on 1/2 ratchet - now I finally have a Snap-on 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 ratchet.
