yeah, get yourself a christmas gift! hook it up! :)

i got myself a heat gun, front and rear H&R sway bars, all new mounting hardware, helicoil kits, some high-temp paint, and i'm putting through another order for parts to refresh my power steering hoses/fill tank and various other things (like one of my heat shields that had corroded through). merry christmas to me! and i convinced my gf to get me the auto solutions short shift kit too ... which reminds me i need to put the info together for her to fax to them :biggrin:

get this (and you'll understand why i feel really lucky) ... my gf thinks jewelry is a waste of money! she'd rather get outdoor gear or such like that ... stuff that actually DOES SOMETHING! my gf doesn't wear any jewelry. the only thing i believe she will wear is an engagement ring/wedding band when i get one (working on that now). she's very down to earth :)

is she kidding? your car won't last much longer? LOL ... i'm planning 300-400k. it should last pretty much indefinitely as long as i keep maintaining it properly.

she says it wont last much longer because stuff breaks all the time....aka i need to replace some worn out parts that are worn of 10 years of use...

actually, i dont mind buying jewlry...its so easy when its holiday time....i take my sister to the mall with me and pick out the shineist thing i can afford lol...ive had lots of success with diamonds!
