What do you get for a guy who has a yard full of old cars,( we have a 41 chev coup, a 64 caddy. a 56 chevy 4 door, and a few late model junkers decorating our yard and an entire room in our home I PROMISE floor to ceiling all the way around with new and antigue hot wheels cars,red line card, tootsie toys, die cast cars, trucks, and every other car / truck toy you can immagine ??? Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.



Caution the information below is extreamly OT . If you choose the read on thank you. If not thats ok too.
OK I am asking for your help one last time . The dates were changed on the contest that my mom is in. They are now going to STOP taking votes tomorrow. so we now only have 2 days left to vote. They will reveal the winner at 1pm cst on monday Oct 1st. So I am asking for ALL the votes that we can get to help my mom win this thing. Please beleive me when I say she truly does deserve to win this. She has spent her life giving to others, and never asking for anything in return. She has been more than supportive in all that her children have done , and now we want to support her. And like I said before , I am hoping to find that the generosity of the people on the HAMB will help my mom win by a landslide. I have written about my mother in a blog on my myspace page. If you want to learn more, look for athena duncan, and check out my blog on her. Please vote for her. And for those of you who have been voting since I first put this up , thanks simply isnt enough. I let mom read the nice things that some of you wrote about her, and I read them to my dad. He said the people on the HAMB are wonderful . So thank you again, and vote as often as you can for the next 2 days.
go to www.wgem.com select the contest tab at the top of the page and then select the "make me over " contest and vote for sheila ( the one in orage ) this is for a TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR make over for her.

 

i like old tin toy cars, there a hunt to find now though, but every once in awhile i find one in some little shop, the best are all metal with chrome bumpers and lots of trim on the sides, if he doesnt like it send it to me.

 

Get him a jack for the Caddy.

 

I'm having a very hard time not suggesting something ****ographic.

 

He needs a couple of old gas pumps to put in front of the garage.
That would make the scene complete.
I know of someone who wonders how much he could get for an old Caddy jack if he decides to keep it.
Happy Anniversary!

 

that's easy,------------------- more stuff

 

This gets the "post of the day" award.

 

A hefty gift certificate for the Snap-On Man or Mac tool truck would make me think you really loved me and understood my p***ion. I say hefty, because 50 bucks might buy you a screwdriver from those guys.

 

so what would be a good ammount with out breaking the bank for that certificate to the tool people. ??

 

Depending on what he has ... I don't know what would break your bank, but there's a reason I have a lot of Craftsman and no Snap-On ... too damn expensive. A couple hundred bucks at least would go a ways ... maybe $500 = $100 for every year you've been together. I dunno, that might start a precedent where the amount would increase every year you were married... That would be cool, but could get pricey real quick.

 

it all depends on the bank.

thanks guys you have been very helpful. I think I am gonna go with the gift certificate idea. We have a snapon guy I see his truck in town a couple times a week. My husband is beyond spoiled. betchya

 

get him a nighty.....im sure he would look swell in it! ohh, and tell him his kdusters jacket is done!

 

I like the gift certificate idea as well but I'd make a homemade one for a ******* or something like that.

 

i'm so glad you said that first Denise,,...cuz i was ready to reply about how GREAT a blow job is on a birthday...most women do not realize this!!!!!

,,a man could care less about anything on his birthday,except for a nice BJ.

 

Tough to top the previous suggestion. Single malt scotch is always good and never goes bad.

 

Sounds like he needs the one thing all true car guys lust for............. Anything FORD!

 

I was gonna say books, but ....

 

Denise,

You never disappoint, we were all thinking it .



CBB

 

buuks???shoooot man.....weeze misseri boys use shovels to club our dates now...dim dare buuks iz fur startin firez....you all fancee sity folk jus dont git it!

 

An Alliance membership if he isn't one already. I plan on doing that for my christmas haha. Tools never fail, nor do money and ****.

Or a cadillac jack.

 

How do you get coffee outta the keyboard?!

Thanks for the wake-up post there, Denise!

 

I have a good friend in that position, lots of cars and toys, etc........

Can't go wrong with the nice dinner out trick.
Tickets to the races, etc......

 

1950CevySuburban: Replacing the keyboard gets it out. I did the coffee, keyboard thing last Sunday and then about a day later it **** on me!!!!!! Good luck!

As for the gift idea, I have too much stuff too!!!! A BJ would be nice to. But I rewally like the gas pump idea. Bottem line what ever it is he will LOVE it because you care. A box of oreo's would do the same.........

 

I vote BLOW JOB, you can't go wrong there.

 

A wife that allows her husband to have all that stuff is gift enough. My wife doesn't want me to get anymore cars and I only have 2. She even parks her car in the garage, taking up valuable room. LOL

 

My truck is parked in the front drive way because there isnt room for it under our 2 car car port or the 2 car garage....... He has had cars since long before we got together, I just deal with it cause he would NOT be a happy guy with out them. His toy's in the house are MUCH easier to deal with cause I dont have to mow around them but it's all ok. I asked for ideas because I cant buy him toys anymore because if I see something I think he would like usually he says I allready have that one. And he litteraly has THOUSANDS of unopened cars that are in totes that no one ever sees not counting all the ones on display. He says he is going to be able to retire when he sells them some day... and I am sure he will have a nice retirement. I opted for the tools. And the blow job is at this point a "maybe" cause I gotta see what I get for my part of this past five years first ya know

 

i know a guy here thats keeping a Caddy jack He prolly wants a lot for it
I voted too. For your mother and the blow job

All that sensitivity training, right out the window!
