I'll be lucky if I even get the tow hooks I asked for. Apparantly Mrs. Claus says I wasn't very good this year so she spent all the money on the kids.

Pads and rotors
New transmission and shifter
Roll cage
Cleaning
And a few other little things
But if anyone that I run with asks I won't be doing any engine or suspension mods at least not that they need to know about.

Rehab the suspension (have poly bushings that have been sitting around for a while)
Replace the rear hubs (got 2 in a box I bought for just this occasion)
More track time!

Well I got the best gift in the world. My wife is working until midnight tonight and then 10 hours X-mas day. That means I can be here at the shop working on my own crap until she gets home It's kinda funny she got a 15 dollars off coupon if she spends 15 dollars on Butterball products Times must be rough, but I heard her boss just got a new ZR1.

I hope your guys wish lists become real!!!

I love her to death. But she doesn't understand, I don't have cubic dollars, so I need to spend cubic hours working on stuff. My hands are sore from being in the grinding room. Now it's freezing cold, so I throw on a sweat shirt and hat, warmed up some pot roast. Back at it!!! Too bad I haven't even thought of working on heads

Ordered a winch for the trailer so that's off the list. Thinking it would be nice to trade the FRC for a nice modded C5 Z06 since the prices went down so much. The only bad part is it brought down the trade in value of my car just as much.

Looks like I was right - no tow hooks. Anyone have the number for Pfadt handy?
I'll show em though. I'll order some new bushings while I'm at it.

Merry Christmas!!

The Grand Am Spec LS6 wasn't under the tree but there was a lump of clean coal.
