Wow, you spent $5 on a pooper scooper... Randy hit the nail right on the head with you! You're a spoiled F'ing brat. I bet you arent even paying for your college either.

[silverCELICAgt-s]

umm that was a gift for my dad as a gag gift comin from the dogs that cost 25 bucks.

And i bought my dad a 38 dollar tie. Cause as i have said, i have like no money from spending it to live off of at college.

as for the apr item, i was absolutely shocked. Cause the only things i put on my list that my mom asked me for while i was at college was some new skis and ski boots cause my old boots were very beat up and too small, trd oil cap, apr strut bar, two dvds, and two video games.

Spoiled, not compared to a lot of kids in my town, lol, i live in the middle class of my town as some here would know about longmeadow and its reputation of its annoying snobs.

So anyways, i was absolutely shocked. I thought i was done with opening gifts before my siblings cause i got the skis and all. And i saw that entitled to my bro was a rather long box. So when he opens it, he goes, oh look some metal bar for my car in a sarcastic voice and so he threw it over to me and i was just in shock. My parents told him about putting his name on it so that i wouldnt assume I got it and tricked me! lol. I was totally shocked that they bought me anything car related cause they despise me changing my car from how it came. Another cool gift which is my favorite shirt out of the clothes i was given was a black TEIN shirt... now i need to go save up the cash for some coilovers, lol.

And the reason i get a good amount of gifts is cause i have 3 siblings, my parents, and my grandma who are all home for the holidays, as well as my uncle and aunts that send gifts.

oh and yes i do have to pay for part of my college education, another reason why I will not go to grad school like my brother and sister did.

Nah, a fighting game. If you're a fan of Dragonball Z/GT, this game is your wet dream. :chuckles: It captures the fighting style and main fights of the series' so well. The fighting is so fast, I had to put the controller down after the first few fights cause my hands were so tired. :p: Graphics are almost a perfect copy of the show, too (cel shaded to perfection).


Good example of gameplay:

Wow, looks like they finally altered their design. Now there won't be any rubbing between the endplates and the rubber bushings of the strut tops, causing knocking noises. Your lucky. :)

[silverCELICAgt-s]

why how did it used to look, i can take some close ups of the endplates if u would like.

nah, i think ill pass on renting that game, lol, not into the whole anime scene.

[Blue Bomber]

why how did it used to look, i can take some close ups of the endplates if u would like.The holes in the middle of the endplates used to be half the size they are now (barely larger than the rubber caps on the strut tops). The extra material was too close to the strut tops, so when they compressed and pushed out the rubber inside, it would rub against them. Greasing up the underside solved the problem, but I never thought APR would actually fix the problem (it's only taken them 4+ years :rolleyes: ). nah, i think ill pass on renting that game, lol, not into the whole anime scene.
Hehe, you don't need to be a fan of the series to appreciate the adrenaline rush you get from playing this game. ;) Definitely worth a rental if you're into fighting games, but the main mode is a bit too story driven to keep non-fans interested.

[silverCELICAgt-s]

hmmm, battery tie down looks different too. I guess they really did change it cause on the box it even says celica so its for the right car.

[Blue Bomber]

Nah, tie down's the same, just in matching colors now. :thumbup:

[silverCELICAgt-s]

well i hope everybodys holidays is going well, we're all about to watch 40 year old virgin, lol, my bro got it as a gift.

i guess my parents said 4 of the 8 nights of channukah we're getting gifts as well. So, they handed out gifts tonight and i got a TRD oil cap from carson toyota in CA - www.newtoyotaparts.com :thumbup:

happy holidays :)
-greg

[IllicaCelica]

didnt get too much...got a couple bottles of new cologne...and my girl got me this sick new set of diamond hoop earrings....

[rddcelica]

ok im not gonna lie. i never get stuff as i hate giving/recieving gifts, and absoluytely despise the whole christmas thing and what it has become as im not christian and dont like the idea of celebrating a religious holiday. i did get a few things anyways.

my brother got me a nice framed drawing of tony stewart as he saw it and thought i just had to have it to add to my NASCAR collection i have constantly added to for years. seeing as tony is my favorite drier of all time

and to top it all off, my parents did ONE thing for both me and my brother. they gave us each $1000.00 in a C.D. bank account for 15 months. so obviously i cant touch it till march 07'. and the reasoning for it was 2 things.

1.) was to basically say thank you for the endless hours we both spent spent this summer rennovating their new house which combined our work/time would have cost them well over $30,000. and obviously we did for free.

2.) they know me and my brother are both doing fairly well financially right now, so they wanted us to have a little "extra" backing in case things turn for the worse throughout the next year and/or to start saving towards a house purchase.

so i am VERY thankful for that gesture. never in my life have i gotten something like that

[evil eye]

Congrats on the gifts, guys!

I got mostly money, of which I'm not complaining. I need to pay off credit debt badly. I got a pair of Tims from my sister as well.

My girl got me a silver chain for my wrist, an old navy fleece and shirt, bottle of her favorite cologne, and an Ecko dog tag/time piece.

Bling, bling

If your car doesn't need all that stuff, I know a car that doesn't run that does. ;)

I thought you got this a month ago?

[Vulcan2422]

i did but they gave me the money for it. They didnt buy it for me in pieces and give it to me heh. So it worked out. And to think if i let the car burn when it was on fire it would have all been gone heh.

[HiOctane]

:bang: Yeah those brakes look pretty tight man. I just got myself some new rims and tires a week or so ago.

[twistedGTS]

BB good eye on the APR bar!
