What did everyone get for Christmas?

A little early, but we open gifts on Christmas Eve.. How about you guys, what did you guys get this year??

From Dad... Porsche Tequipment Car Cover for the 986


From Mom... Porsche Martini Racing hat


From my Brother... Nixon Rotolog Burlwood


The watch was by far the coolest gift I got this year, and by far the coolest watch I own. I just got home and realized my Omega is still sitting on my parents Coffee Table

Where doing presents tonight as well, because everyone is busy tomorrow. I really like the watch, I almost got one like that but I needed something with a timer for sailing.
I let you know what I got, but I did gift myself a Sears floor jack as an early Christmas present early today, and my late Christmas present will be a hockey to make a jack plate.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I asked the wife for a full set of metric craftsman tools and a nice rolling tool chest in which to keep them, saying that if she sprung for the tools, I could do more work on the cars and save the cost of the tools the first year in labor on repairs alone.

I'm an idiot. Now I MUST work on my cars myself!

On a brighter side, I got a watch winder and a 18 year old bottle of Macallan scotch.

^ I want a Smorsche too!

I got an OBD II reader, shop light, Porsche hat, floor jack, and a Bentley manual along with some other little things non-car things, and some ski stuff. The Bentley Manual is amazing, it's 1000+ pages of knowledge I might actually use someday. I would recommend that those of you who don't have on, get one.

Merry Christmas!


UPDATE:
And if anyone cares a giant Porsche Boxster parking sign for the garage.

Among other things, a B&M shifter and a new helmet. Looks like the shifter will be going in tomorrow...

No snow to shovel here in FL

Nothing for the boxster under the tree this year. We have spent plenty on our fleet the past few months just to keep them on the road. However, we had a small but bountiful holiday, not a single questionable item was unwrapped today
