I didnt get anything good at all from my family... mostly sweaters and clothes I'll never wear. I gave em a whole list of car parts/tools too, but nobody wanted to get that stuff. Oh well, tonight my girlfriend and I exchange gifts, and I KNOW she got me somethin good for the S13.

So what did you guys get??

Bought myself a complete wiring harness for my Bronco, some old Tom Clancy books which I hadn't had a chance to get, and yet another CF memory card for my camera. Got my truck back from the body shop, so that is probably my favorite present to myself..

my mom asked me what I wanted, so I told her contact lenses, needless to say, I know have some more so I can still see for the next three months.

oh, I got some screwdrivers and a 1911 holster too!

Hey Smith, I didn't even notice you had a '72 Bronco, those trucks kick ***! Are you gonna have it looking stock or cut the fenders to clear for the bigger tires and all that good stuff?

Mr1der: about your inquiry...http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....ber=2

Since that post, I've invested heavily in body repair work, and cleaning up the electrics, which were severely hacked up by the previous owner. This would explain the wiring harness purchase. I'm spending $2k more on it, then putting it up for sale, at roughly a $5k loss from my total invested dollars. I've had it since highschool, 8 years ago. One can only squeeze so much into a garage at any given time, and right now I've got the bronco, Toyota, CBR, and my quad in there. I can't buy the N/A Z32 I'm eyeing or an Xterra till one of my present vehicles go. :(

So yes, in keeping with the thread topic, I bought a complete wiring harness replacement for $500. I'll be installing hopefully this coming weekend, and into next week if I take my time.

B&M short shifter, though my NISMO knob is still on the way; a set of basic tools (120); True Crime: Streets of LA (kicks ***! Hey, K240, enjoy Underground, it kicked too!); a light for working on my car; a globe/clock thingy; one of the miniature Radioshack modifiable cars (my bro has ordered the top engine, 32,000 rpm, and it's on the way!); a cd (incubus- "The Fungus Amongus").My girlfriend got me shoes (lower your eyebrow! There's a story to it!), a little stuffed dog (she's big on stuffed animals, and I gotta admit, they are kinda cool in that... stuffed animal way), and a stocking full of things to rot my teeth out (along with a bunch of minty stuff).

Yeah, my Christmas kicked major ***, like a ninja on PCP. Can't wait to put in the B&M, and I may be ordering a NISMO rear sway soon.

Merry Christmas!

I got a g-tech pro, some clothes, and other stuff.

I went to test out the g-tech and ended up drifting through this empty parking lot. It was pretty funny because there were some guys playing soccer in a field nearby, and they were watching me as if I'm some kind of crazy man. ...I should have asked for a set of tires...

I got some underwear, pants, "The Untouchables" DVD and a Logitech Cordless MX Duo (cordless mouse and keyboard). I also bought myself a new ccmputer and finally got it working last night after about 5 days tryign to figure out why it would reboot on its own. Needless to say, despite the small pull from my family, I am ecstatic that my new computer finally works!
