Guest AlCapone Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I got to spend two days with my MomGuess what my friend. That was a luxury that many of us will never again enjoy. Cherish the moments you lucky man. It is more precious than any material gift ever will be. I am very jealous of you! Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 This is for my Hollywood Graham. My dad bought all the NOS ones left at the Graham factory some years ago. This is the best one, he had it show chromed, new lock, original guts & the shaft that is special to my car because it is longer. He has about 30 to 40 hours in to the thing but I think it is the best one world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Walling Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I bought myself a 56 Chevy convertible that will keep me healthy and happy for about two years of exercise, stretching for the wrenches, reaching for dropped parts, Crawling under the chassis for that nut that always ends up in the exact middle, and opening the refrigerator door for a cold one!

hddennis Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Not auto related but made me just as happy! In October while visiting my daughter in Virginia I went antique shopping and bought a Japanese dagger for $50. The dealer said I shouldn't buy it as it was a reproduction. The appraiser/restorer emailed me Christmas eve to tell me my early 16th ct. Samurai dagger was done. In February it goes to a Japanese team for evaluation and should get papers attributing it to a good maker from 1504-21. Glad I went with my first impression.

JACK M Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 My kids, nieces and nephews bombarded me with candy and chocolate.

TerryB Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 My son came home from college with a bargain he found at school, a 1979 moped that has been sitting for a few years. He told the seller that he's sure he and I would get it running in less than an hour of tinkering. We did get it up to a sputter in about 45 minutes but it took about 2 hrs of work to get it to actually run on its own. The look on my sons face was priceless as he took it for a ride around the block. Best Christmas present for me was the opportunity to share the time together with him and to show him how to get it running. He is a senior mechanical engineering student at Drexel and recently completed a six month internship with Tesla in CA.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamin j Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I got an Xbox one. I have not taken it out of the box yet because I am spending so much time on getting the doors to fit perfect on my 34 olds. well as perfect as I think they might have been in 1934. that Xbox will never be as much of a challenge as the passenger side rear door has been.
