Default Christmas Corvette wish list?

Anyone asking for stuff for their Corvette for Christmas? I know I asked for some new floor mats, I'm just wondering if anyone else asks for stuff like that from their significant other. I would ask for a Crate engine, but I doubt that would happen. Haven't been THAT nice...

hhhmmm santa has a plethora of choices for me. he could get me some nice headers, a nitrous system, a turbocharger or a supercharger, one of those 5- or 6-speed transmission kits, a different rear end, a new interior package, a new show quality paint job, dual electric fans, maybe a nice fuel injection system, different pistons, aftermarket fiberglass panels, new or rebuilt actuators for my headlights, oh here's a big one...some custom CORVETTE HEAT SHIELDS!!!!! geez i'm getting pretty anxious for these!! maybe i'll tell santa to get the guy the patents for christmas so he can start making them!

wow i hope my parents read this, then they'll know what to get me

Torque wrench, but I'm certain I'll have to make the selection. That's okay with me though.
