My kid got a couple dozen matchbox cars in his stocking, including an Audi R8  O0

My parents sent me a three-inch carabiner with a small LED flashlight in it (perfect for a keychain) with the VW logo and "Drivers Wanted" printed on it.  Can't find it on VW's webpage to post a pic.

Every time I fill up it seems to go down another 2 - 3 cents... My theory is that I should fill up more often. ;)

If you say so.    I'd rather tha price of gas went back to $1+ and the stock market (TSX) went up 1500+ points

Speeding ticket on Christmas day.

121 in a 100 zone.  He didn't even say Merry Christmas when he gave me the ticket. :(

Got the latest issue of Dupont Registry as Chrismukkah stocking stuffer.

Also, when we were away recently in Thailand I purchased a couple of really cool car magnets from a local artist - Porsche 959 and Mercedes 300SL

What were you actually going, where abouts, and what kind of radar if it's not too much of an intrusion?  :)

I'm obsessed with cop radar/tickets.  :P

Maybe he is trying to be politically correct.  Not everyone celebrate Xmas.

Everyone was speeding on Boxing Day and driving recklessly in the mall parking lots.

No gifts but a flat tire which I was able to deal with in a few minutes at home in the driveway. A loose valve core which I tightened and then refilled the tire with my air pig from my compressor. Nothing wrong with the tire at all and its was only a 10 minute delay. Its nice to be prepared at all times of the year and I am very well equipped in my shop so it didn't ruin my day at all.  Minou nice catch as a new tool box is always great to have but usually needs more tools tho. Remember it gets heavy so be careful as it also adds more weight to the car if you carry it in the trunk.
