Let's see those Xmas presents !!

[CJM]

I tried the rubiks cube, cant get it so i pulled the stickers off and solved it that way lol.

[DHC6twinotter]

lol...yeah. Chris and I worked on it for hours. I'd go to bed, and Chris would be in the chair trying to solve it. I'd wake up the next morning, and Chris was in the chair trying to solve it. I gave up sooner.

[Good Times]

Let's see where to start...

When the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 came out last month I couldn't stand missing out on all of the fun that my friends were having online so I broke down and decided to buy myself the new thin ps3 for xmas. Of course I also had to buy the game and I gotta say it was an awesome xmas gift for myself!

I told myself that I wouldn't get anything else cuz the ps3 alone was an expensive purchase but after playing with my buddy's iPod Touch I had to get that too so I also bought that for myself last week. Got myself a cool 64GB version so now I'm going gaga over loading all of the crazy apps and mp3s/movies! While shopping for the iPod Touch I saw the new Magic Mouse so I figured eh what the hell might as well splurge a bit more and break the bank so I bought one of those too! I haven't used it but I'll be using it for the first time on Monday at work so it better perform like butter cuz if it doesn't I'll be pissed. The damn thing was super expensive!

From my friends I got a few ps3 games to accompany my new console, a few clothing (I guess I dress like crap!) and a Nikon D300s! My friend got it for me to replace my old D100 so I'm totally stoked!! woot woot! Guess I have to take lots of pix and buy more lenses to add to my collection.

Ugh another damn hobby that's expensive! Someone find me a damn money tree cuz these cool gadgets are just killing me!

Demello Sliders, ARB Tire Repair kit, and metric ratcheting wrenches. And $$ .

The ARB Tire repair kit is really great quality, I was impressed. I'd recommend it for the $38 it costs.

Lance, I'm officially hooked on those DSLRs! My aunt had a Canon Rebel at our Christmas party and it home how landed in my hands and I'm in love! Totally different over my Point N Shoot camera. So of course I started looking at cameras... they START at 600! I'm partial to Canon and will probably never own anything else. You giving away the D100? LOL

[Good Times]

Canon's are good stuff! If you're debating between the two brands I'd say either one will definitely rock your boat! They're expensive depending on the model you get so expect to get a spankin when you get your face deep in it. (conservative warning).

I'm not sure what I'll do w/ the D100. Originally I was planning to buy the D700 for my birthday in a few months but I guess since the D300s just showed up I'm not buyin it anytime soon. The plan was to get the full body (d700) and compliment w/ the D100 crop body but with two crop bodies I may end up "selling" the d100 if I get a chance to clean it up and buy the D700 anyway (eek). The d100 has seen a bunch of trips and is super dirty (has lots of spots on the sensors). I've already sent it into Nikon once awhile back and the spots are back again after a few trips so it's time it goes back for another cleaning before I retire it.

Even if I "gave" you the d100 you'd still have to buy your own lenses since that's where the $$ pit begins. You think the body's are expensive just wait till you start collecting the lenses!

It's just like building a truck... never ending mods...

checked the used market? www.keh.com, xt and xtis are running 250-350 or so

Im swinging a 30d, 5d and 1dmkiii now

So First on the List was this:

I didn't need something super sophisticated and I didn't want something to "in your purse" size.
This seemed like a perfect middle and heck still seems to be too much camera for me I am still trying to figure it out lol!
Its really Nice though.

Next was this:

Which in combo with this:

All on my phone, I can go from car to car and get all sorts of reading and record mileage, torque, temps, what ever the trucks computer or what ever vehicle computer that I go into.

Then I figure, like my little policy with putting stickers on the truck once I am lifted, I thought these would be nice for when the Locker is officially done (wiring):


Then for the grand finally, the front of the truck was looking a little sad, with the right side lights seeing better days so:


I also got these:

But as you can tell they are not the right ones, and we are in the process of getting the right ones now.

I only really wanted the headlights and camera cause I didn't want my mom and stepdad to splurge, but of course no...

Hopefully stepdad will be happy with his new suspension and mom will be happy with her car repainted once I can afford to pay it all off...

[DHC6twinotter]

Avy, man you got some cool gifts! Who makes those headlights? That iPhone thing is pretty cool too...I always wondered if somebody made something like that for the iPhone. Does it have some sort of transmitter that plugs into the OBD port?

I might have to get one of those when I get an iPhone and a car with OBDII.

[YotaFun]

Yeah, I would have been happy with just the headlights but my mom got stepdad and I thigs we wanted but didn't really need... Go mom!

The headlights are off eBay, I know *GASP* but 140 shipped is a Loy better then 250 shipped from some where else....

Yeah Dan, search "Rev for iPhone/itouch" and he proggy should come up, it was like 30 bucks off iTunes and then the box is for a wireless obd2 port that sends out a signal like a wireless router and you use the iPhone/itouch wireless card to pick it up.

I am looking to see if there are any pc based programs like this that I migh be able to use with a laptop on day and get more readings or just a wider screen for lol!!!
