No car related items, but I got a decent laptop, so now I'm on MF during my nightshifts. Does that count?

My son gave me an MSD 6al2 box (he's only 15 and worked hard to earn the money). Don't feel too bad, I've put $15k into his Mustang so far.
How did you get this family? If you die, can I have them?

I really lucked out on inlaws the second time around. Someone else is dealing with the misfits from my first mistake! I do have a brother in law who gives us a gift certificate to a restaurant every year and then invites he and his wife along. Seems the bill always exceeds the gift amount and he expects us to pay the difference. You see, he already did his part with the certificate!

I got the Mustang Pony floor mats for my car. Not much else. I will say that with the Best Buy gift cards and my discount I'm going to buy 4 Trunk kits of Dynamat Extreme which will do my whole car.

I guess I should be happy my wife bought me the mats since she doesn't want to know what I've had to spend on my car since I bought it to get it running and safe.

Rebuilt transmission
New brakes from the Master Cylinder back (cylinder included)
Suspension work
New exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers
New headers
New fuel pump
New fuel lines
New Door Locks
New Seat Belts and various other small items.
Several electrical problems leading to a new wiring harness for the car (next item) to finish it off.


Hey Fakesnakes, I'll buy you more than an MSD Ignition if you want to work on my car like you have for your son. I have a list...

I got some pony matts also. I cannot believe some 2 matts are almost 100 bucks.

Craftsman 26 piece end wrench sets. One set SAE, second set Metric. Also have a Sears gift card.

The wrenches pretty much complete my toolbox of primary tools.
