Default What did you get yourself for Christmas?

I was going to post a "Tool ****" thread. Then I looked around to make sure I didn't Enzo. But, since I got myself a couple of tools for Christmas I thought it more appropriate to combine the two.

So, what did you get yourself for Christmas? Extra points if you had to hide it from your S.O. Negative points if you don't post a picture...

I've gone through 3 mini-torque wrenches for doing things like the water pump and oil pan. None have worked reliably for more than a couple of months. So, I decided to go nuclear. You don't even want to know how much this torque wrench along with the two inserts cost.

Grabbed a pair of HF wheel dolly/jacks so I can roll the car over into the workbay without starting it or taking it outside. Took half an hour to assemble them with all the greasing and detailing, but they work great.

I bought back my 1991 GT, the one with the factory flared rear fenders, and it still has less than 100,000 miles on it. Luckily the guy didn't drive like I do.

It looks like I got myself the Brown 79 in Anaheim for Xmas. I have it stored in Victorville for now and will likely be going to get it just after Xmas. My wife doesn't know about it yet, so I think I'll put a printout of the eBay listing for it under the tree from Santa and see how that goes over.

That doesn't count the Black S4 with the maroon interior that I gave myself for Thanksgiving.

I hope I don't end up like the guy whose wife is selling off his toys elsewhere on this Forum.
