What Do You Want To Find Under The Tree?

Post by sptcoupe »

So here we are again - that time of year when we begin to fantasize about what we would like to find under the tree on Christmas morning. So let's hear what you gearheads are hoping to see on the 25th!

Winning lottery ticket.....
Then...Mark's elec. dist., gear reduction starter, rear sway bar, headers, exhaust system...
Then Like azruss, a 246 so I can drive down to Arizona where it is one of the few places in North America that one can drive these cars in the winter.
Failing the lottery ticket.....continued good health for myself and family.

5 grand an acre with views. Amazing. That lot here in New England might be closing in on a million, unless absolutely remote. Then it would likely be at least a half mil.

Nice views from the property. 10 acres here...about half a mill. if no house.
One concern though.....fires. Fire tears up hill faster than you can run for any length of time. Lots of shrubbery that could burn real quick. Wonder what the insurance premiums would be...

There's a 1 acre view lot very close to our house in Victoria (Cordova Bay) and it's for sale for $1,800,000!

And yes, my wife too would love that under the tree.

I think a small(ish) garage combined with shop front .... not so much to do business from, but to start to store the ever increasing number of vehicles I seem to have / want to have.

The garage would do nicely to work on them, and then the shop front to store them in ... whilst making a nice display :)

... something along Louetta Road in Houston, just west of I45 would be perfect.

This is going to be a humble Christmas for the first time in many years. I've been blessed with my career. However, after 23 years with one company, I am looking for another job. Don't get me wrong, the family is in good shape and we have built a war chest to survive for sometime without a paycheck. Three kids are looking for me to help put them through college.

A new job that can support the family while having some relative fun would be great under the tree this year.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

Good luck with the job hunt, Ray!

Good health for all friends and family is all I can wish for this Christmas.
