I bought myself enough parts in the last few months to cover the next 5 Xmas'. Nobody in my family will by "car parts" related presents for me.....thus I got tools, tools, and more tools.....which are really to contribute to installation and modifying of "car parts".....

I bought myself the HF Jack that was on sale a week ago.
My wife bought me a bunch of tools. Including another welder (the one I had used, my father loaned out, and it never came back) The best part was all the stuff Santa brought my son!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) |

I bought my son a HF impact wrench so he can change my wheels at the autocross events. I don't think he was real thrilled about that gift. I told him it's a gift that keeps on giving. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I got a new air compressor. A gift cert to the local parts store, and a copy of latest race car engineering. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
And... This year I didn't blow it, and give car related gifts. 2 years ago, I learned that my sister does not get nearly as excited as I do, when opening up a new pair of shocks (her car did need them, and I even installed them for her.) |

I only know firearms from playing games like Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and Counter Strike and thought I remember the AR15 being a rifle... |

I have a friend who would be glad to get rid of, er, uh, sell you his XD .40. It's picky about ammo (unlike his Smith and Wesson .40) and he wants it gone. I don't think he's shot 200 rounds through it. I should pick up my new carry pistol on Monday if it comes in. I guess I'm old school, I ordered a S&W Airlight .38 special. I was (and will) buy the Scandium frame .357 mag (same size), but I decided to try this one and make sure I liked how it fit/carried. I'll either sell it to a friend or give it to my wife and order the .357 after I try it. Of course my Beretta 92 is off at Beretta getting repaired (new pistol, wouldn't cycle properly if at all???). While it's there I'm having a trigger job done on it by the factory. And, I've got 2 more 15 round mags coming in the mail (I have 2 10 rounders and 2 15 rounders now, I've got 2 more coming free as part of a promotion from Beretta). However, this will probably be my last purchase from Beretta after dealing with their service department. They seem to go out of their way to be hard to deal with (unlike smith and wesson or Ruger who have both been outstanding when something was needed). And, Beretta gives you a 1 year warranty (my weapon went back to them within 2 months, but that was because it took me that long to get to the range with it). |

2 month's ago for a wedding present my now wife bought me a Milwalkee 18V 240ft-lb cordless impact. For Christmas she had a bunch of family go in together to get me HP Tuners software (well money so I can buy it, she knows to let me order it so it's just right). Got a cheap set of around the house tools, because I keep my chests of tools up at my parents; I live in an apartment. I think I have some money left over to get a Forza race seat, maybe.

I've got about 250 through mine and it hasn't malfunctioned yet. He should send it back to Springfield. They can fix the problem. I fixed mine before I ever shot it. I just took a dremel and polished the ramp and smoothed the edge leading into the chamber and the edge at the top. Some need more some need less. I ordered a stainless one since their finish doesn't seem as nice as a glocks. Now if I can just learn how to shoot better. |
