Their like rubber ball bearings but without moving parts. They make your car shift a lot smoother (given you have a manual transmission). The Tiburon has chunky shifting, this takes care of it and makes the stick shift into its slots a hell of a lot smoother.

Also I found a way to make some cheap angel eyes for my car that look perfect, gonna run to Walmart or Autozone later and grab the parts ^_^

ohh I got that. Nice to use when playing relativly short bursts (music and games) but tends to irritate your ears after long term use :E
Use with causion if you have bass boost on the top.

Hardest metal known to man and you say dragonforce.

Nope. Not close. Metal, yes, but not the hardest metal.

It was a good year for our family, not too much, but what we got we loved.

Bought a Wii on preorder and received it in November with Twilight Princess and Rayman.
Gave my son Excite Truck for Christmas
Viva Pinata for the wife and GRAW for me on the 360.
New 42" Plasma for all our gaming goodness! (All I can say is Wow)
Hooked up a PC to said Plasma and played HL2 and WoW (Wow again)
Gave my wife a digital Camera.
Got a jumbo George Foreman grill.
And around 150 dollars in cash for me, and the same for my wife.
Kid's got a huge Pirate playcenter with costumes (son has already forced 18 month daughter to walk the plank)
Son got a TV for his room so I don't have to bear through the Cars movie 20 times a day.
Bought the boy 4 Transformer toys and spent an hour Christmas morning playing with them myself.

The best bit of all. I got off work around 2 pm Friday and didn't have to come back until today. It was a nice time to relax.

Overall, a great Christmas. Glad to hear most of you had a good time!

GWAR is harder than Dragonforce. Though, that's hardly an insult to Dragonforce. GWAR ###### owns.

Zelda: Twilight Princess for the GCN
First season of Scrubs on DVD

A First Nations frame drum made by Chester Patrick.

Some pretty sweet stuff. I really like having the drums; they're both quite lovely sounding and looking. I didn't get a Wii, but neither was I really expecting one. Zelda on the GCN blows my mind, so I'll hold off on the Wii until something else irresistible comes along (Metroid Prime 3, Smash Bros. Brawl).
