The only car related item I got was Gran Turismo 5. I can't complain. It could have been more sweaters.

That was pretty much what my wife said -- and something about getting another job if I ever wanted....

I finally got my blue cf steering wheel after 9 long months - it was waiting for me at home when I got back from visiting my parents in PA.

I'll post pics soon enough; it's awesome. I might as well start a thread on my car, since it's had so much stuff over the years.

Also hoping to pick up my car tomorrow if the weather is ok and it's completed. Will have DFWDude's badge on it.

Hi Wardsweb,
You and I are both hopelessly out of date! I just found out recently that people use their cell phones instead of wearing a watch. It makes sense, but I don't think that's for me.

Very nice watch, by the way. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

A $10 Casio watch will tell you the time. A time piece does it in style and is far more collectable. Like cars and audio, it is an addiction for me.

A $100 g-shock also does the trick. My white g-shock matches my car.

Nah, I wouldn't be able to afford the payments on top of insurance. The the insurance for the 335i is $490 month plus the monthly payment of $320. Out of my budget for now. I'm holding off, but I did manage to get two gate passes to go check out a 06 evolution 9 at the auctions in LI.

EDIT: There should be a safe driver discount for young drivers.
