Here is my loot. I got the 996 Targa and the 996 Cab this year. The rest are some of the other models my dad and I have collected over the years.
I also got a 2 year subscription to exellence and some old issues and I'm gonna buy a rennlist membership with some of the money I got.

Merry Christmas all!

First of all, I want to wish a Merry Christmas to all of my Porsche water-cooled brethren! It has been a good one here, as I just finished watching Shaq vs. Kobe and opening presents with my family. Also, I set up a wireless network last night, and am on my notebook in the den. You gotta love the power of wireless!

For Christmas, let's see:

Porsche calendar, Cheesecake Factory Italian Cream and Chocolate Torte, A Nostalgic Photo Collage with kind words from my younger sister, Socks, Undies, Movie Trivia desk calendar, Enlarged BTTF laminated poster, Various other clothes and candy, and Money

Gifts to self:

About a month ago, I placed an order for a few DVDs at Deep Discount DVD. They were having a 20% off sale from their already market leading pricing. The titles: L'Avventura, Le Notti di Cabiria, Amadeus, Schindler's List, Flirting, Men of Honor, Saving Private Ryan 60th Anniv. Edition, Fast and the Furious (for the speed, not the cars... ), and Diner des Cons.

The biggest item this Christmas was the wireless networking equipment.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

TOOLS, TOOLS, AND MORE TOOLS... It was awesome!

A very nice 924S sterling silver key chain. Very rare, and very detailed.

Slippers and "lounge" wear.

I gotta buy some cigars.

My pile consists of the SS brake lines, a smaller Craftsman Microtork wrench, not one of those silly ones that has the angle gauge. Goes down to 2ft/lbs! Perfect for the next waterpump job! Also a nice flourescent worklight, a Porsche history book, and a pair of extra large turbo script emblems cut out of thin steel on a plasma cutting table.

Default Twas a good Xmas

My folks finally figured out that I will always be a car nut, so they might as well play along.
They gave me a full face helmet, Sparco driving shoes, an engine hoist, Dixie horns, some breaker bars, and a really ugly sweater. I'm not sure if the breaker bars are for working on the 944 or for beating my Mercury DiSable to death and putting it out of our misery. I bought myself an engine stand for the motor that should arrive any day. (I hope.) I think I got some money and food too.

All that was pretty cool, but the best part was that I got to drive my car this year. I really hated seeing it on jackstands last Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all.
You guy keep it safe for New Years too.
