Default Car-related presents?

Hey all,

Santa (in the form of my wife) was very kind to me this year:



Allegedly has 300 ft-lbs of impact torque (which is more than a Cayman S! (instantaneous, yada yada...)) Anyone else get a car-related present this year?

My father got me a carbon fiber bottle opener and a clay bar/speed shine combo from Griots Garage.



The wife pre-ordered a SA2015 helmet from OG Racing for me. Last season was my 20th DE season so I have fully expired two helmets. Thankfully, both were completely unused.

A cousin got me a Classic 911 periodical. I promised him a G&G ride in the GT3 some day soon as reward.

I got a new floor jack, one low- and long-enough to reach under virtually any car. Now I just need to get a hockey puck to go with it.
