I've already got one of my presents (World Rally Championship for my PS2). Mainly I will be getting a Microsoft Force Feedback2 joystick and MS Flight Sim 2002 Pro edition :) Plus some other presents, don't know what most of em are yet.
Mntsnow I've got an old 77 FS Blazer for my 4 wheeling toy it's been about anywhere that no man has been before. These old blazers are great for the deep mud :D I am still waiting for a new truck but the wife just got a new minivan and my 91 Chevy 454 SS 2wd :( is going to have to do for now.

OMG...Someone in the same lifeboat as me :) Atleast I know I have company :) hehe
MDS, I currently have a 84 Full size Blazer with 35" BFG's and 6" liftkit that has been my "daily driver" and I also have a 77 FS Blazer too! (http://www.digitalmntsnow.com/images/Blaz1.JPG) That one is my "hunting/Rockcrawling" rig that has 33" and a 4" lift and cutout wheelwells/ crushed rocker panels and all the other stuff :D lol
That thing looks like a gas guzzler there, Mntsnow! :D

Hehe Yep! that 77 blazer gets about 8 -12 miles to the gallon IF I keep my foot off the "go pedal" and about 4-6 when I'm in the mud and snow on the mountain and have my foot on the "fun pedal" :D
My 84 Blazer is a Diesel and I love that one...It gets about 18-24 on the freeway depending on if I'm towing the snowmobiles or not :)

The above are just toys.
When (if?) I get a scanner I will post a photo of mine.
1947 Chrysler 6x6 .
Had to do just a little work to make it go.
Add 302 with FMX trans 12x20'' tires.
Great toy.
Ugly as mud but lots of fun.

Well my parents are giving me some money towards a case (http://www.aopen.com/products/housing/h600a.htm) to replace my older one....other wise I have no idea what I'm getting off my 2 brothers or sister.....we all put in to get mum and dad a DVD player and the rest wanted DVD's......
Be an actually pretty quiet christmas at the Hellmund house this year.....then again it hasn't happened yet.
Mntsnow your 77 looks better than mine :D Mine has met a few too many trees over the years. I also have 33" on mine with 3" Rancho suspension lift,350 with torqer II cam,ground crank, with an 850 double pumper. I couldn't tell exactly what gas milage it gets it go from full to empty in about one night of 4wheeling.:D

Went a looking but no can find..:confused:
Merry Xmas to you and yours Mntsnow!
My wife and I didn't buy each other anything for Christmas - We're holding off until the sales start and then are going to buy a 32" or 36" TV set for the den. Probably also get a second DVD as well. Other than that - she's getting a new computer once I find the time to stay home and load the operating system. Nothing massive - just a 1.6 Ghz with 512 RAM and a new 20GB hard drive. We'll be running win2k so she can work from home - Hopefully that will be soon so we can "justify" a cable modem. Has to be cable because her work applications were written for specific packet sizes ( sounds incredibly stupid to me - but oh well.) Otherwise, our daughter made out like a bandit - massive qualtities of plastic toys. We did the whole milk and cookies for Santa thing - even left a bucket of water and "reindeer food" on the front porch. It was a good year. The food was incredible - I'll be paying for it for at least 2 months......the food that is.....:D

WOW! Did you say you got a new sports pedal AND A NEW CAR??? Sheeh, I wish someone would buy something nice like that for Christmas! I got clothes, clothes, and more clothes! LOL

It's not a NEW car but it's NEW to me and it beats the hell out of the old van I had to drive for 6 months.......
It's a Holden Camira, 5-speed manual with a 2ltr 4cyl. Fuel injected and I love hte long gear ratios.....I was sitting comfy @150k's today.....(just got it registered and insured this morning:D) which is rougle just under 100mph:D Gotta love the sports pedals though.....shiny! I also spent just over 4hrs cleaning, vacuuming and polishing it.....
