'Twas the night before Christmas
And in the garage.
There wasn't a trace of an Audi or Dodge.
The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,
So I figured I'd go mess with my Camaro a bit.

I popped the release and I lifted the hood,
When a deep voice behind me said "Looks pretty good."
Well as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick,
And there by my workbench, stood good Ol' Saint Nick!

He just stared at first, not sure what to say,
Then Santa piped in "Don't suppose you'd trade that for my sleigh?'
"Forget it, Mr. Claus" then I started to grin -
"If you've got time we could go for a spin!"

His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,
Burst into a smile when he said "C'mon then, Let's GO!!"
So as not to disturb all my neighbours' retreat,
We pushed my old Camaro quietly onto the street.

Then, taking our places to drift down the hill,
I turned on the key, then let the clutch spill.
The sound erupted and took Santa by surprise,
But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.

With cold tires spinning and header pipes aglow,
We headed on out to roads hot rodders go.
And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,
With every shift up as I went through the gears.

Then he yelled "Can't recall when I've felt so alive!"
So I backed off the gas and said "Do you wanna drive?"
Ol' Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys,
As he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!

Then the big block exploded with dual exhaust sound!
Santa let out the clutch as the tires tore up the ground.
Power shift into second, again into third!
I grabbed for the handle, at loss for a word.

With the tank reaching empty, Santa returned to his sleigh,
Never to forget that ride in my '69 z28.
Later, I heard him exclaim, as he blasted from sight,
"Merry Christmas, good Paul,
it's been a heck of a night!!!"

Merry Christmas to all of FRRAX. May your cars run well (soon in some cases) and your victories (personal or the trophy type) be numerous.

I meant to start this thread myself, but I've been busy seeing old friends and spending time with my family. I hope all of you are having at least as much fun as I am.

Merry Christmas

Yes sir Mr. Claus, all I want for Christmas is for that Camaro to fire up and run....

Merry Christmas one and all. My year end bonus will come on Jan. 15th so I will be calling some vendors then. Under the tree I found a couple of suspension books and a new helmet to replace my 95.

Santa was really great to me too; I unwrapped one of these cool Pontiac Banners with the Superchicken for my garage:

Merry Christmas everyone!

My brother in law was kind enough to buy me a 42" plasma. Must have been a reward for helping him renovate his house this year. I treated myself to Gary's Z06 brake conversion as well, heheh.

That's it....

Apply the Christmas hammer.....

Hope everyone had a great one! I had a birthday, too and I treated myself to a new 15' full-deck trailer from Econo-trailer. Picked it up a couple weeks ago. LED lights, spare tire, breakaway, 2-axle brakes, spare mount, and 102" wide. $1917.00 out the door.

My GF hooked me up with a Pioneer XM2GO to make those long trips not seem so long, and my brother got me a Gtech SS. My Dad got me some home improvement stuff that I really needed and I got tons of other non-car related stuff.

Oh, and I got my girlfriend her own helmet so that she can ride on the back of the motorcycle and also so that she'll have her own for when she comes out to autocrosses.

A very good Christmas and birthday for me. Hope everyone else's was just as good.
