So it's that time of year again and I'm being bombarded with "What do you want" everyday. And the thing is everything I want is for my car and I have to buy it due to my parents not knowing all that much about purchasing things online and all that jaz.

I tried to tell the grand parents they don't have to do anything and if they do just to knock a couple $100 off of what I owe them towards the car but they said that's no fun lol.

So I've been trying to think of things to ask for and so far all I can think of would be a radar/laser detector. Is there anything cool you guys could think of?

I often ask for the things I know I will use plenty of...

Autozone gift card
Meguiar's car wash
AquaDry drying towel (Target $5)
Meguiar's Quik Detailer
Shop Towels
wax applicator pads
Meguiar's Hot Shine

Drive-up ramps for oil changes (if you dont have them already)
Oil Change pan

A subscription to your fave auto magazine.

Hope this helps cool

I have a hard time coming up with a list too. Nowdays if there is something I want, I buy it. It's not like when I was a kid and mom would tell me "wait until Christmas". wink

I usually just ask for gift certificates. I know they aren't fun, but it's practical and it makes me more happy than getting a crappy sweater.

Usually I just ask for iTunes and Home Depot since pretty much spend all my time collecting music and doing home repairs.

a decent quality car cover is always a nice thing to have as well.

jack stands & hydraulic floor jack (these can sometimes be had in sets for good prices)

mechanix gloves in your size (and color pref)

00grandprixgt- I got a buddy with a 12" Alpine Type-R and a truck box if you're interested. It is in pretty good condition and hasn't been used that much. I can get you details and pics in about a week when I get home.
