I just about fell over dead! The WIFE bought me floor mats ( with the Challenger logo) and new kick panels (to go with the rest of the new panels I bought last march). First time EVER she has bought be parts for the Challenger! Maybe she is warming up to it?
I got a set of floor mats too! When I put a ACC carpet in my vert last fall, it occurred to me that the old piece of shag carpet I had used as a floor mat wouldn't do the new carpet justice. A set of matching floor mats was very needed. I bought the carpet from Rock Auto, and found they had the best price on ACC mats also, so sent out the floor mat info and their current discount code out to my relatives as a gift idea, and lo and behold a beautiful new set of ACC burnt orange floor mats was waiting for me under the tree yesterday.
I also got an autographed copy of Ryan Brutts (Devils) new Amazing Barn Find book, which I vaguely remember purchasing from him at MCACN but then passed it on to give me a month later as a xmas gift. I got home from the show that evening to find my power out thanks to that bad snowstorm we had, so I didn't even get a chance to peak at it until I unwrapped it yesterday.
And I got a cool International Workstar model truck. I work at Navistar and I do engineering work on the Workstar series. Months back we got a notice at work that First Gear was coming out with a new Workstar model and there was info on pre-ordering the model with expected delivery in December. There are lots of models out there of our other models like Durastars, Prostars, Lonestars and even Paystars, but very few Workstars so I went ahead and ordered one. It did show up on my doorstep a few weeks ago, so I passed it on to relatives to give me. I was pleased xmas day to finally get to play with it. You push a button and an air horn honks. But better yet, you push another button and a you hear a starter sound and the lights and headlights come on, and when you release the button you hear a diesel idling.
Way cool, I'm going to wearing out the batteries on this one pretty quick, and even if I don't, when I take it to work to display in my cubicle my coworkers will wear out the batteries ( and my patience probably) playing with it. I like my new truck and am glad I never grew up!
Seems like I did a lot of my own xmas shopping this year, but that's OK as I won't be returning anything.
