Default What did you get for Christmas? (Pics please!)

Had a wonderful time! Lot's of family over, 5 of 7 kids, and 8 of 9 grand kids were here yesterday!

Best, most unexpected present goes to my son Daniel. He's a videographer for a TV station and he got to meet Mario Andretti at a event at the Circuit of the America's in Austin. He got me this:




Genuine Porsche hat:




Trim rings for my dash gauges:



Love the look!




Replaced my CD holder with another cubby, very useful!




And now for the biggest look changer:
BEFORE

Nice pulls, SASB. Can you please explain the little **** with the green phone on it.

Everybody knows that is the Manual IMSB oiler button....when your IMSB starts to rattle, just a few quick pushes sends a squirt of oil to the IMSB, then you are good to go!

Tranzit Blu HF device I bought on Amazon. When I get a call on my cell, I push a preset on my FM radio and then push the button and the call is then routed over my radio, hands free. There is also a microphone that I have hidden. If I want to make a call, tune the radio, push and hold green button for 4 secs, get a tone, then I can make a call on the phone and it will go over the radio. I'm very happy with it, installing was a bit of a pain because I had to order two euro antenna adapters also.

I have the one for the CDR-220. It's a direct plug & play (doesn't use FM). It's a great option for streaming music, making calls, and using your phone's navigation app if you want to keep the original radio.

I got a GT3RS...

It's an RC!

I also got a Carrera S...



...and a 917 & 918 Spyder...

..and a 5-shelf display to hold my ever expanding collection of Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and VW Hot Wheels...and a few Asian & Domestic Hot Wheels.
It needs to stained before being hung next to the other two in my office.
I'll end up with five shelves for Porsches, five shelves for BMW/VW/Mercedes, and 5 shelves for Asian & Domestics.
Here's one of my 5-shelf displays that is already stained...and full of Hot Wheels.


I'm also building a couple of new shelves for my larger Porsche models.

I got an incredible stainless kobalt tool chest. Unfortunately I found out after unpacking it that the lower unit was dented up pretty bad. Now I'm waiting for Lowes to get me a replacement... meanwhile I have most of my tools spread out on the garage floor in anticipation. I can't wait to post a pic of it all together.

I have been eye-balling this LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS for awhile. Then it went on sale for $206 instead of $299. I haven’t decided if I will leave it sealed in the box for 20 years, or start building it:
