What are you guys saving up for or asking for come Christmas? Personally I think I will use my bonus and other gifted monies on a tune and downpipes for the SHO (finally). So when winter passes I can start hitting the 1/4 mile and perhaps auto-x. But yeah, what did you guys ask for? Or what are you blowing your bonus on?

I asked for a dremel. Because why not.

Oh yeah, I also asked for a ton of cars, but my grandpa wants to sell me his Escort so I can't get that Volvo 780 I want. I mean, I am certainly glad to get one that I know is in great working order.

People keep bugging me for a bigger list, but it's not my fault Watch Dogs doesn't come out until next year.

Got myself some Fanatec CSR Elite pedals that I've been asking for for year and a half. And it'll be delivered on Christmas Eve!

New MacBook. After four years of faithful service and one year of zombie-esque frustration it's time for a replacement.

Rear sway bar for my pickup. Won't get it, but it's fun to look at their expressions when you say it.

Weather Tech front mats and driving gloves.

Told my brother to surprise me. My parents really can't afford to get me anything, so I'm buying gifts for them. But, if Ford wants to give me the 2.3L EcoBoost, 6 speed and IRS from the new mustang, I'd be more than happy...

I asked for a couple of video games this year: Pokémon X and Gran Turismo 6 . As a change of pace, I asked for a few books as well: two books on photography (although one is about using a DSLR when it turns out we don't actually have a DSLR), Going Faster! Mastering the Art of Race Driving by Carl Lopez, and Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans by A.J. Baime.

I can always purchase the video games in digital form if my parents can't find physical copies, but given the lousy time frame I gave them to get the books and how they probably aren't going to spring for faster shipping to offset that, I doubt I'll get all of those.

Totally worth it. I have a standard 300 series dremel and several attachment bits, and I've yet to regret buying any of them. I use mine mostly for small scale diecast customizing, which should speak at least a little about how accurate that thing is.

I asked for some small scale models. Car parts and videogames are way too expensive, so there's really nothing else that I want.

Yeah, I usually don't ask for anything haha, I just end up with some clothes and gift cards usually.

Ooo, thanks for the reminder, I forgot to throw it on the list. I'd talked about needing one, but I'm sure the other half has forgotten...

Decided to buy myself a watch.

Is this what my life has come to...?

This picture is wicked relevant. I had to sell of the last of my radio control gear to pay bills and the only thing I told people I wanted was a little $ that I could use to get a quad to fly around. And what does everyone say..... "Oh I can't do that it would be too easy!" And then two weeks later I hear everyone saying how hard I am to shop for. That's when I just tell people to go fuck themselves.... And continue to spen Christmas in the woods.

I just want to get my headers installed, a 2.4 pulley and a tune.

That is the main reason I want one, actually. xD So, awesome!

I'll be using my bonus on a header for the FR-S possibly a tune and rigging up a 3lb motorcycle battery instead of the 30lb factory brick

Then you're definitely not gonna regret it. The only thing a Dremel isn't very good at is painting, haha...
