Christmas Presents

I got home before my wife last night, and there were two boxes on the front porch. One was white and said "Ford Racing" on it, and the other was from AutoAnything.

The Ford Racing box contains a 2009 Shelby steering wheel,, and the AutoAnything box contains an auto-dimming mirror. I suspect she may have also gotten me a set of Eibach adjustable sway bars, but I haven't actually seen nor hunted for those boxes, preferring instead to be "surprised" when I unwrap them.

I love my wife. She's not a car chick, but she doesn't mind me being a car guy.

She hates having her picture taken, but here's one taken some years back:



She also told me last night that she did in fact order the adjustable sway bar kit, and said I could have them when they get here (next Wednesday) because the boxes were going to be too big to wrap.

Well, I didn't have to open them - the for racing box says "STEERINGWHL" on it, and the AutoAnything box was the size of a rearview mirror.

She let me have those last nite because I knew what they were.

A few things, but the most prized is the plane ticket I bought her so she could visit her mom in California for the entire week before Christmas.

You guys are lucky. If I mention car parts and Xmas in the same sentence, my wife gives me an evil look.

Installed the mirror and wheel yesterday.

The mirror took two hours - 5 minutes to actually replace the mirror, and the rest of the time involved the electrical hookup.

The wheel took about an hour and a half, with most of the time being used to swap the buttons from my OEM wheel to the new one. I went slow to make sure I wasn't going to mess up the electrics.

I took some during the process, but haven't looked at them yet. If they're decent, I'll post them, but in all honesty, if you have a premium interior You pretty much know what they look like.
