Default Guess What I Got!

Over the summer my fiance told me she needed a picture of me in all my driving gear. I asked her why and she wouldnt tell me, (it sounded like a strange request to not have an explanation). So after a few min of going back and forth I put my suit on and let her get her picture. I Never found out why until yesterday, my birthday, when I received this as a present!



My fiance had a bobblehead made of ME!! Also, they were kind enough to "take off" a few pounds for me.

She sent them the picture of me in my suit and a shot of my face and it came out really cool! Here is a picture of the process.



and what she sent them



They just put some random sponsor stickers on it but it still looks great. I was so excited I wanted to share with you guys. I figured it could go here because its kind of racing related.
