my g/f keeps asking me what i want her to get me for x-mas and i have no idea of what i want/need. i was thinking either tools, or something for my 240. i dont realyNEED any more tools, but it would be nice to have a torke(sp?) wrench, or breaker bar. i would rather get that stuff when its on sale at sears though. so what kind of car parts can she get me? i was thinking something like a shift knob, pedal set, shift boot, or somewthing small like that. i dont realy want to pay 60$ for a knob though:( . what do you think i should ask for(nothing sexual please, i get enough of that as is:) .)

Crown Royal. the big bottle.:D

or have her get you some very high quality paint protection stuffs....

maybe stock up on Mobil1 for future oil changes..?

or just have her get you a couple new shirts... women insist on changing/altering/modifying mens wardrobe, so maybe she'll like that.

hmmm. $75. Here are some ideas:1.car cover2.gift certificate to a auto detailer3. gift certificate to an auto catalog (like Griots Garage),4. a professional photo of your GF posing beside your car. That would be pretty cool to have framed. No, she doesn't have to be nekkid.5. a good torque wrench with an extension is a good gift that you'll use.6. nice breakdown emergency kit. Good ones cost upward of $757. She takes you out for a nice evening out. Dinner at a nice restaurant.

how's that? Enjoy

smithsr - it would be minda nice to get some of those 240/drift t-shirts, so people know what im about. oh, and i mot old enough to drink, legaly. bubba1- there is a tourque wrench on sale for 50$ at sears, craftsman. i still might get that.

im so damn undecided. at least i know what im going to get her. 3 pairs of gold/ silver earings so her ears stop getting inffected from cheap stuff.

Nice lug wrench (I have one that has a light in the center of the socket for use at night), quality digital air pressure gauge, car care products (wax, polish, cleaners, terry cloth towels, etc) or a gift certificate to nice place to eat, so you can tak her :)

Or a decent Fossil watch?

stock one is nice if u ask me...i hate 99% of aftermarket knobs (ESPECIALLY THE GREDDY ONE) worst knob ever IMO!

i say you ask her to pick out some clothes for you, girls love that :pface and you get some clothes in the process

why dont you just use the stock ones?

and if you dont have a stock one, u should invest in a B&M shifter which wil include a nice ball shift knob

This is totally a win-win. She gets to voice her opinion indirectly about how you dress without contest and you avoid a trip to the mall. Plus clothes are pretty expensive these days.
