Have her pay for your next 3 OTR events. That would be a great B-Day gift.

a pair of sparco targa shoes
the low height model so you can wear racing shoes that don't make you look like a wanna be schumacher and still have the reenforced tip and durable stuff...



that label kinda bugs me though , but nothing that can't be fixed with a black marker

Got enough tools? Tool storage? Or, in order to help our host, how about a $500 spending spree on Pelican?

I was joking about her getting me a set of 16x9's for the targa. My 40th is in 2 weeks, then I foundher notes from a trip to the wheel enhancement web site. I saud thanks but its not what I really wanted for my 40th.
