I got a 20 gallon parts washer, though I didn't realize how expensive it was going to be to fill up. I might trade it in for a 5 gallon unit. I also got a multimeter to help with wiring that 1943 Willys and some Venomsteel nitrile gloves.

Not too much automotive this year at our house.
My wife found a vintage Johnny Lightning that exactly matches my son's 2004 GTO, right down to the red interior, so that was pretty cool.

Apparently I was on the naughty list this year. Not even a lump of coal.

Weather Tech floor liners for my truck and a Corvette hat for the 2007 Vette I recently purchased. I keep telling my wife it’s her Christmas present but for some reason she doesn’t believe me.

Got a neon SRT sign for the garage and a plastic welder because the wife has a tendency to tear up front bumpers

Every time a box arrived from Ames I told my wife "Merry Christmas to me". Just some weather-stripping and minor trim parts. I did drop the windshield header chrome off at the Chrome shop but I won't see them again until the end of Jan.
Yesterday I went Christmas shopping at the local Pick & Pull for "new" back-up lights for the Solstice.

Hard to believe, but nothing not even a hot wheels. This year it was bird feeders and seed. I got my TA last year, so I can’t complain much.

Yup, I brought my Solstice home 12/22 last year. Pretty hard to follow up something like that.

I got new headlights for the Avalanche and a grill. The 79 Truck I got new weatherstripping for front windows. The camping van got a carb rebuild kit for q-jet and Trans Am did not get a darn thing. I need to drive and wash it and put the car cover on Trans Am for the winter, so a car wash for the Trans Am.

The day before Christmas my wife helped move the steering wheel of my winter-beater car while I was under it- and at long-last located a 'klunk' that had driven me crazy for a month!
