What Did You Get From Santa This Year?
What did Santa bring you this year? It doesn't have to be Smartphone related. Of course, it doesn't hurt if it is! :wink:

I didn't get much this year. We've all but eliminated gift giving between family members. My wife and I purchased
Paradigm Cinema 70 speakers back around the end of October and agreed that these would be our gifts at Christmas. And I recently ordered an Alienware DHS 2 Windows Media Center PC for the family, which should arrive sometime in January.
Unfortunately, my daughter came down with a major fever on Christmas eve day. :cry: We were able to keep her tempature down and her spirits up for most of the events. There was some less than happy moments, but it all worked out in the end. Overall, I think she had a blast.

How do you like the Santa Fe? We picked up a shinny red one just about 2 years ago, and it's been amazing. 8)

I like it alot. My old car was actually not a heap. It was a shiny red 2002 2dr Blazer.
But I needed the 4-doors and wanted something a bit smaller.
The car is great! I had to roll some of the Blazer into this one...so I got the mid level instead of the LX...but I would have liked the leather, sunroof, and climate control. (more for the electronics than the actual climate control.) But other than that...I love it. Black with tan interior. I'm going to install the XM Radio this week...along with my GPS antenna. Great car! Now I need to junk it up to make it even better! )
They gave me a great deal as well...gotta love those end of year incentives! (The only time to buy a car if you ask me). Knocked the sticker price down from $24K to $18...add the rollover from the Blazer and it's still a decent payment. I only needed to put down $700 so it was all painless...
...with the exception of the 4-hours in the dealership from begining to end! And the fake getting up rejecting their original offer only for them to come back with a ridiculously better one. I hate car dealers! I hate the whole experience....but I like the car alot!

What did I get this year?????????
I didn't get too much!
I got an aechos AV480 PVP.
I also got but haven't recieved yet a PSP from over seas.
I am going nuts waiting for it to come.
I also got the OK from my better halkf to go head and buy another motorcycle.
I am not sure if I want another sport bike or a cruiser.
All in all it was a nice christmas! Great thread to make the site a little more personalized and friendly.

I got an XM MyFi portable satellite receiver and a HiTouch 730PS Dye Sub printer. (Really nice prints too!!!!)
The biggest gift I got was a 2003 Kawasaki Ninja ZX12R. We got it as a leftover model right off the showroom floor with 0 miles. Great deal too! Now I can't wait for spring.

It's funny, because I don't consider it a small vehicle, because it's so large on the inside!
I agree with buying cars this time of year. We purchased ours a couple weeks before Christmas, 2 years ago. And they where more than willing to wheel and deal. December is the slowest month for car sales. Use that to your advantage. 8)
We got the base model, because my wife and I prefer standard, and at the time it was only available on the base. Still, very peppy, and handles the road great!
I haven't done any mod's to it, other than the aftermarket alarm and keyless entry. I will be doing the stereo at some point in the future, but 2 years ago there was zero options for MP3 players in the car. So, I'm waiting a little longer and then I'll be replacing it. Hopefully with something Bluetooth based, that allows me to sync music to it from the house.
