One great gift idea is a set of LED bulbs for the dome light, rear markers, license plate lights, rear hatch light etc.

I used a thread in the interior section that has a bunch of great posts by David Hayes to order a set for my FD and one for my dad's FD for Christmas. They make a nice stocking stuffer, and after installing all mine I wish I wouldve done it much sooner, they're a HUGE improvement

I am going to ask for the financial security not to have to sell her this year.

Part of doing that is going to include selling my powerfc/commander/dataloggit (all NIB) and a complete A-spec GT3574R Turbo kit (NIB).... sad day.

But, on the plus side, I sign for the military (Army National Guard) tomorrow morning, that should help things out a bit.

Sorry, but that's a metric unit, isn't it? I think in Imperial terms, it's called an "***-load."

Either way, great links.

I realized it right after I hit reply...DOH! Look at my post count, laugh, and move on.

Actually...it *is* Christmas again...is there anything else new that Santa can bring? Maybe this should be a yearly thread?

He's the only guy in the (recognized) Drift scene out there with a big'ole pair of ***** for his car

I'm getting my FD a full tank of gas and a fun time cruising the mountain roads of CA.

Driving it is far more fun than accumulating parts or working on the car in general.

true, but I'm not driving my car around when there is snow or salt/sand on the roads. After this weekend the FD is officially in the garage until after the first heavy rain in the spring.

Nice. Where do you cruise? Maybe I'll see you around.
