Alright, start spilling it... Christmas 2010!

[Turf1600]

I got some reebok zig techs and a pretty cool RC helicopter. I bought myself a new vert top, ordered some seat covers from Kevin Chin and ordered a ton of 2002 parts including a shorty rear bumper, euro tail light lamps, euro turn signals and a ton of maintenance parts.

Ahhh fuck... I got a pair of weird Russian looking dress shoes and pleather jacket with a hoodie sowed to the inside. That's it. fml

*sidenote I'm not Russian.

[CaptCanada]

Do you have a dog to go with it?

No I do not actually.

10 gallon compressor, new running shoes/running stuff, a few hundred bucks, lots of candy/cookies, etc.

it was mostly about my son this year, although we didn't actually buy anything for him - I wrapped up some snacks and baby food just so he could have something to open (which is hilarious when they are small). He has way too many toys already and he got a ton of stuff from the rest of the family anyway. we'll save the money to buy him something during the summer.

PS3, call of duty black ops, Play station move set up. I had a pretty good Christmas.

[scabzzzz]

I got guilt trips and quality time with my little sister before she goes to college. And a jacket. And then more guilt trips. Next year, my family will be receiving text messages for Christmas.

[Gooch]

I had a pretty solid Christmas this year. Going to the Penguins/Islanders game Wed with the girlfriend, and whatever else she gets me. But here's what I got:

Raceland headers for the s52 swap
Stewart water pump
Drilled/safety wired oil pump nut
AKG front subframe reinforcement kit
Cash money

Non-swap related:
Spy Zed ski goggles
BMW sun shade
Boxers

I wasn't expecting much but got some good stuff that will go to use, I like giving more than receiving.

Got myself a Subaru Forester XT 5 Speed in early December, most awesome utility vehicle ever.

Received - Nikon SB600 (used to borrow one), Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control (been needing this for a long time), How I Met Your Mother (Season 5), Other little things

Gave the GF quite an awesome Xmas weekend if I do say so myself. - Across The Universe Blue Ray, Victoria's Secret Awesomeness - I spent too much there but was worth it, most awesome steak dinner I've ever had @ Eddie's House on Xmas Day for dinner. I'd recommend it as a once in awhile joint if you're in AZ or visit. Some tabloid sized blown up prints of things I took pictures of that she liked. Tickets to Jimmy Eat World on New Years.

I got my BBS RG's some new shoes and i got GT5 CE.

If you look at actual contact surface on a 6 point bolt & standard socket / wrench, it's really just the tips that make contact. All kinds of room for improvement.

Typically, yes. Most of the force does end up a the tip. But the difference is when the tip is rounded off the 6-sided ones have that entire tightly fitted side to lever against, where 12-points just roll around like a stripped gear.

Got a car cover, rubber winter floor mats and Halo Reach. Also got enough cash from all of the distant relatives to purchase an Alcantara JCW steering whee for my cooper s.

[jintermont]

I had 31 people order a need these before Christmas. From the looks of things they got there in time? Or are due to arrive shortly...

Yea matt my dad called me on Friday and said they came in Thursday afternoon. Thanks man, I can't wait to get home tomorrow to put them on

The only problem I have with those is that because they are made to fit a bunch of different types of fasteners, it doesn't fit any of them perfectly. Which seems like you would be more likely to round off a normal bolt head because the fit isn't so great. On a rusted or mangled bolt though I bet they would work great.
