The list might get longer tomorrow, so I will wait until then,,
Merry Christmas, going to bed early tonight. Thousands of people to help feed tomorrow. SWR, SBette and me are thrilled to help with Christmas Dinner for twelve years in a row. My family and dozens of others help prepare a free Christmas meal for any and everyone who shows up here in Norman, OK!
Daisy, June and me will prepare several hundred pounds of mashed taters to go with the turkey, dressing, pie, rolls, etc.
About Dawn, I take a break and watch the Sun come up on the Lord's Birthday. Haven't always been able to see the Sun for the clouds, but the Lord is always there!
Happy Birthday Jesus!

Hmm lets see
Pfadt Trans brace

Short throw shifter
Replaced SLP Loudmouths with Z06 Ti's
Replaced power steering rack only to find out it was the high pressure line that was leaking....

This year was...
Pfadt coilovers
Slotted-only C6 Z51 rotors
C6 calipers w/ Z51 brackets
Stainless steel brake lines
CCW 505A wheels
Hankook Ventus R-s3 tires (275/35/18 - 305/30/19)
Corbeau FX1-Pro race seats
Arizen side-mount, dual locking seat sliders
Brey-Krause harness bar
G-FORCE 6-point cam lock harnesses
That was it!
All I need now is an additional trans cooler, and I am back at the track.

Changed out interior from oak/black to torch red/black. New mats as well. Carbon fiber sills. Red coil covers. Replaced drivers seat track. Finally fixing the a/c leak was my greatest accomplishment. 2012 will see the death of the belt squeak at all costs. And a few more TR interior and under hood colorings.
