Damn, some people here get an assload of stuff. Even for my birthday and christmas combined i seem feeble.
Oh and what did i get, well "usefull stuff"
Printer/scanner
Clothes
Licorishe(sp?)
-
I got clothes, shaving razors, a wacom tablet, a car battery, and this little basketball hoop that can be hung on doors or garbage cans that makes noise and plays music when you make a shot... But it seems my dad liked that more than anyone else, and it's up in the kitchen, rather than in my room.
The wacom, though, was a nice surprise. Since I said I wanted nothing, and these are so much money.
-
id have rather not celebrated christmas than to get what i got. because with what i spent on other peoples presants i pretty much broke even. then theres last year, i bought nice presants for everyone and got practically nothing in return.
-
And today I got a 1,5L Heineken Magnum Beer Bottle and a William Lawson's Scotch Whisky :D
-
[color=66ff00]I too was very surprised at getting so much stuff Raa, I too asked for nothing.
The robot is good fun and my mum and dad probably got me it for the gadget factor but I can see my nephews getting more use out of it. :)
[/color]
-
I always tell them I want nothing. I feel guilty enough for all I get from them as it is... and how I'll 'repay' it some day... but that's another story all together... :(
-
Didn't get much... but got what I wanted, for the most part.
- New computer (for my upstairs "office"; I'll find the specs later; it's better than my old one, though)
- Platoon (DVD)
- Star Wars trilogy (DVD)
- ROTK: EE (DVD)
- Several cheesy movies (Airplane, Naken Gun, etc)
Basically, I'm happy. With the $150 I got, I'll probably buy some extra stuff.
-
Oh yeah, I forgot...Power Mac G5 earlier in December and an iPod next January...for this Christmas and the next Christmases to come, until I'm kicked out of the house or I leave or win the lottery...(I don't buy tickets so...)

oh that's right... you're old enough to drive now. i'd forgotten :blah:
a truck? and you say you hate rednecks?
Tiara: what camera did you get?
-
.......... :wtf: / :blah:
Because you can't get any more redneck than Toyota.... I don't think you should be one to judge about cars anyway. IIRC you're the wannabe mexican cholo with the low-rider.

for some reason I find that really funny. :D

i just found it amusing that with all the **** you talk about texas rednecks and their trucks, you'd end up driving one.
and what's so "wannabe mexican cholo" about a stock, classic cadillac?
Car #1

You!
Were'nt you, one time, poking fun at me for wanting a 3000gt?! And now you're GETTING one?!!
Not that I'm jealous. Even though I am...

never. a 3000GT's always been one of my dream cars.
EDIT: not getting one... i have it, and it's driveable, but i'm working on it... it's in the paint stage at the moment. i won't be keeping it too long though. as soon as it's done i'll start looking for a buyer.
-

The thing is, I don't. That's why you're a ****tard.

Don't know too many Mexicans, do you?
-

Get the 99 front end upgrade, the 97+ SL spoiler, and paint it passion red, and so long as it's not a SOHC, you'll sell it immediately. :D
-
i don't want to do too much to it, or i won't be pulling any profit. as it is i'll probably barely make enough to cover what i put into it. i'll see when i'm done with it, i may end up keeping it as a daily... we'll see.
The thing is, I don't. That's why you're a ****tard.
then you've got no right talking about my car.
"****tard"... you like that word don't you. hehe kids these days
Don't know too many Mexicans, do you?
i know a couple... obviously not as many as you, but then again, you do live in California. the mexicans i know all drive cadillacs, true, but i have yet to see a mexican driving a STOCK cadillac (stock being the key word there)... i dunno, i guess california mexicans are different to texas mexicans.
-
Raa: what i'm looking for is a VR4 ;)
EDIT: i'm going to be doing it something unusual... too many passion red GTs and Stealths driving around these days ;) i'll probably end up doing it pearl white with some flakes or something... it all depends how much money i can scrape together :p
-

Wait, why don't I? You didn't actually give a reason. You brought **** up for nothing to begin with. You might want to sort out which advice you want to give and which you want to take.
-
Oh well... let's see...Driving Lesson. I need minimum 10 to get my licence but they are VERY expensive around here (up to 100€/hour). That was for presents by others. NOW up to what I bought MYSELF for christmas.... the James Bond DVD box, a new Palm (i had to replace it eventough it was three months old only...), a pair of shoes, a beige leather Jacket (a pretty cool one) and least but not last a weekend Skiing : since I started University three years ago (final year now) I haven't been able to do any Winter Sport and as I'm practically born with Skis, I was starting to get a little nervous. What a relief it was :cool:

!? ^^ confusing. may want to reword that.
basically i said you're a hypocrite because you always hated texas rednecks, who are always driving trucks, and then (ironically, i may add) you started driving a truck.
then you started insulting my car. you started insulting a cadillac... that's gotta be a new one.
-
*gets popcorn*
-
go for it. we haven't had one of these in a while.
*thinks*
actually no, i'm going to be the better man here, and walk away, letting the thread get back on-topic.

Ahh. In Texas, there's loads of GT's on the road, but here in NY, there's all of 5 that I've seen in my 1.5 years here. And passion red is sooo hot.
VR-4's are sweet. They were even better in Japan, where they had the rear spoiler moving to a different angle at 55+mph along with the front air dam (Which moves on the USDM models) But they also came with a feature for the exhaust to be 'silenced' for daily driving, or to have a sport mode where the exhaust canister would be wide open until 3k rpm for maximum noise. :D
Add that to the fact that they had a TT-MR version in Japan, and that makes for a very jealous Raa. ;)
-
yeah, i've heard that... figures we'd always get the gimped version. same thing with the Suburu WRX :-/
how did you know there's so many GTs on the road here? it's no joke, there's tons. it's hard to go anywhere without seeing one in the parking lot. most are just regular coupes though, you rarely see the VR4s, SLs, etc. etc. etc.
-
It was an assumption based on how many Supras and 3000GT's I've seen being auctioned or sold on autotrader.com that were all in Texas.
That and Mitsubishi made a killing in the south in the 90's. There was a dealership in Spring Hill, Florida that held the bragging rights to the largest volume mitsu dealer in the country... And Spring Hill is a little nothing place in the middle of nowhere. :p
-
yeah well good deduction ;)
yeah there's a ton of them out here. don't see too many supras these days though. ahh what happened to the all-powerful toyota supra. it's a shame. :-/
anyway, point is i never poked fun at you for wanting a 3000GT :p
-
Toyota's going to be selling a v-10 car called the 444F soon. It'll be ~150,000.00. Alot of people are mistaking it for the new Supra, but the Supra will only be relaunched if the new MR2's (which are going to be hybrids) are a success.
So I heard, atleast.
And yes. 3KGT VR-4. Way to go.
-
Toyota selling a car with more than 6 cylinders just doesn't sound right ;)
-
Isn't the Tundra an 8? But, yeah, it's not a car...
Either way, it should be interesting to see. I'd like to see them try their hand at the wankel.
-
*Shoves thread back on topic*
I got:
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Premiere
- Bryce 5
- Poser 4
- A capture of a section of the battle scene in "Severed Dreams"

-
:wtf: No wonder you *****ed about the NW activity so much. Your familiy's loaded, you can afford those things. :doubt:
-
Mmh...
Got a japanese-> french dictionary. And money.
And that's it.
Ah, no, a friend of mine bought be Thief3. On Xbox :doubt:. A friend that has known me for 6 years and knows very well I prefer first person whatever a thousand million times better on PC. Bah.
But I'm not complaining, it really was a lot of money. And since my father retires in... 2 days( yeah, he's old :p ), and he has sold his company ( yeah, he was the boss ), and I was a shareholder and I sold my shares, I'm gonna get a ****load more money. Man, I'm turning from poor to rich in a few days w/o doing anything :p

Half-Life 2
Morrowind Game of the Year Edition
And I sold my soul to Derek Smart and bought Battlecruiser: Millenium. It looked pretty good, kinda liked what of it I played...but it don't like my computer much, cuz it consistantly hangs after five or six minutes of play.
On the other hand, that is NOT the way I want my FS games to be.
Books, too...Halo: First Strike, the Half-Life 2 strategy guide, three or four Rifts RPG Worldbooks...and the ub3r Glitterboy Poster Of Doom.
