Default Oh Boy...

Last year I told the Wife I wanted a "Flux Capacitor" for my 69 Z-28. I told her (Jokingly of course), You can get one at any car place. Come to find out that she indeed went to every parts store in town and out of town and no "Flux capacitor".

Any one who remembers "Back to the Future" remembers that part. I never said a word about it until just now. There must have been a lot of laughs from parts guys on that one.

I also seem to be the ony Car Guy,Other than my dad, in my family. They all love em when I finish em, but until then, They could give a crap.

You know it's funny, I haven't heard a damn thing or even a clue about what I'm getting for X-mas! I did drop a line about a month ago that I wouldn't be opposed to a nice rolling toolbox, though We'll see. This thread will get a lot better the day after....

Did anyone get anything cool for Chaunukah?

I do that every year. FInally the wife decided to get me something.

I was down stairs and i hear her from the office, "what kind of transmission do you have?"

Me - "TH350"
Her - "thats not on the list"

I walk upstairs and see the order screen for Classic Industries. HEHEH. Its gotta be good

This year ask for some blinker fluid!

I seriously think us car nuts need a store where we can register for the parts we want. A Wal-Mart for Car guys. Maybe we can talk Jeg's or Summit into it.

When you think about it, though, it's just not fair. I mean, we love cars so shopping for us is pretty freakin' simple. We have an obvious obsession that can be catered to for the holidays; but some of my other friends and my g/f.......I don't know what the hell to get them!! I have to be thoughtful and try and tap into my long term memory to try and pick up on something they once said they liked!! I always end up feeling like a really bad listener...

BTW- Jim, that was freakin' hilarious!!!!

Someday their will be a "Bridal Registry" of sorts for Car Guys. He's gettin married, gonna have to be at home anyway, A super charger or a twin Turbo Set up, Paddle shifter set up. Mini Tub kit for the Mini Van, etc. Why should the chicks get all of the advantage when getting married?
