Lets see what Santa got you for christmas

Well, I don't celebrate it, but I bought some Hoegaarden for myself since I found it at a local grocery store and wanted to see what all the hype was about. I can honestly say, it's a pretty good beer (the unfiltered froth thing was pretty unique). I wouldn't buy it again because of the price. I think there are more competitive beers out there for price/taste ratio. I guess I prefer beers from Mexico (Gimme a Clara pacifico and a slice of lime and I'm in heaven).
 
Well, I don't celebrate Christmas, but I do celebrate chanuka.

Excellent choice!! Had these same tires on the SVT for a while, only in 225/45/17's. :cool: Where did you find them, and do they offer them in other sizes? I was told by Tirerack that I'd have to order them from Europe, for $500 a piece!! :help:

I always thought the car worked really well stock, but now it's planted, no more squat/lift on accerlation nor any dive on braking/deceleration. The car corners much flatter now.

I don't know where the tires are available from, as I purchsed the wheels/tires used from a guy on bimmerforums.com. I'll try to find out where he got the tires from.

It was more of gag gift. Not shown was some cash to pay for the Hash and a cell phone to put it on order.

This is my little present to myself, 19" Samsung LCD. It really makes up for the monitor that died the 2nd week up at school when I was on a burnt-out on LSD for the rest of the semester. :blackeye:

I got a waffle maker + syrup + mix + oil! The complete package.... LOL! Not to mention, my bro and I got our mom a Belgium waffle maker, the kind that you pour the batter in, and then turn it over style. Yeah, so we had 2 waffle makers on x-mas morning, rather humorous. :)
