Your Christmas wish for under $100
 
I need to start giving hints to my girlfriend about what I want for Christmas. What's a good item or thing for approximately $100?

Just for discussion, what do you want for Christmas? Be realistic and reasonable.

Nitrouz 12-08-2010 10:22 AM

GF just got me an early Xmas present...GT5 with Logitech G27 steering wheel combo on release date.

m4a1mustang 12-08-2010 10:25 AM

For under $100? I'd say some iPad accessories and maybe a new cologne.

Everything I really want is way more expensive than $100 :icon17:

How about a premium membership to the370z.com? Somebody else is getting a lighted threshold.

Be realistic and reasonable. :rofl2: Have her take you to a strip club, then back home to work off the energy. Good luck on this one.

BTW, hints suck. Just find something under $100 you want then send her the link. My GF is always wanting to surprise me with gifts for Christmas and my Birthday. I'll tell her EXACTLY what I want (usually a car part) and she is like, no, I'm going to surprise you with something else. And compared to what I actually want it's usually a huge dissapointment but for whatever reason she feels it's necessary that I don't know what I'm getting for Christmas and instead get something that was not on the list of things I really want.

/rant.

Judging from his previous luck. She'll probably get him something from the list this time.

I honestly don't want anything for christmas. I mean, a house/gallardo or something would be cool, but that's not being realistic, etc. For $100? nothing. Really not for any price, short of the house, supercar, etc.

My Mom is buying me a microwave that I told her repeatedly I could buy for myself if I wanted it, but mine works just fine. She is still buying it and sends me e-mails like "The confirmation # for the microwave you don't want is..."

I really just hate christmas, to be honest. It's an over-hyped excuse to get drunk off eggnog. There are better beverage choices, and I don't need excuses when I want to.

If someone held a gun to my head and forced me to tell them what to get me for $100, it would be a $100 gift credit-card type deal. That way I could just buy what I normally buy, gas, food, etc. and save that $100 for the car I am saving up for.

So, anyway, what's your fun-car?

I, too, would like something peppy like a little Z, for a DD, but cannot swing 2-notes right now. The G20 was easy to just pay for/insure. A newer mustang/Z/Challenger, etc. Not so much. So, I gotta have a boring DD.

I'm beginning to mirror that. I won't own another Infiniti or Nissan, for sure, after experiencing the build-quality they present. I dare say my 2001 GM was better made than this 2002 Infiniti. The car drives/rides great and I love the 7-disk and bose and power everything and black leather, it just breaks down way more than even my GM did.

phelan 12-08-2010 05:06 PM

Mine? An Audi.

Edit: wtf, why do you edit and ask me a completely different question? Are you trying to set me up or something?

My fun car is the Z. But hey, even my Audi is a joy to drive. It does everything I ask it to do.

"fancy" cars with lots of bells and whistles typically have more to go wrong, what's your "2001 GM" product?

Actually, it's the meat and potatoes dying with this import. The motor-mounts. CV boots. Thermostat. Radiator cracked near the fill-neck. Ignition switch, etc. This is at 117K on the odometer and the car looks very pampered. Interior is flawless, etc.

Also, who the hell puts a cap/rotor distributor on a car in 2002? WTF!? Yeah, had to replace that, and am amazed I didn't get misfire codes as bad as the rotor looked. Must have a mean ignition system to bridge that gap, lol

All the accessories work flawlessly.

With the GM, the only thing that went out was the T/O bearing at 85K miles, the clutch hydraulics (master cyl.), and the rear-end. All about the same-time. Other than that, it was little-stuff, accessories, etc.

nissan/infiniti has changed and improved a lot since 2001.

Nice. I always heard Audi was expensive to maintain, though. This G20 has eaten me up already somewhat. Makes it hard to save money like I intended. My G20 does all I ask of it as well, though. It gets me from A to B. That is what a DD is about to me. The fun stuff will stay in storage until my nights off.

Maybe when I get into my late 20's I can afford a fast DD and a fast fun-car. Right now, though, a fast fun-car and a boring DD seem to be the speed I am at in life right now.

As has GM, the Z06 being the 2nd most reliable sports car made (second to the Porsche by a very narrow margin).

Careful. I was wishing my computer were a touch faster (Pavilion 2.2 from 2008) and all of a sudden the motherboard died and I had to go drop $1K on a new setup to run the stuff I want to run.
