Don't be afraid to self-gift

[bonedoctor]

I did it last year with the JAOS light bar and lights when I was stuck on call on Christmas. I felt much better and not a bit guilty! Anyway, I get these e-mails from a company I've bought some K&N stuff (drop in for the 'Runner and filters for the motorcycles) from before. They usually include a key word for a discount. Here's the one I received today. Tell Santa (you) that they have both the new K&N intakes (63 and 77 series) for the V8 4Runners at a good price. Plus, with the 10% off keyword and free shipping = good deal (about $225 delivered). I bought mine from these guys and was pleased. Now, just gotta get the 4Runner back from the dealership (having some warranty work done) so I can put 'er on. I don't work for these guys, just passing along a good deal and excellent past experiences with them.

Copy of e-mail I got today:

Merry Christmas (or Holiday for you PC people) and Happy Self-Gifting.

I agree with you completely.
This year I self-gifted a new SE V8.
Best Xmas present ever!

Nice! Now all it needs is a K&N intake.

Remember, with self-gifting the size, color, quantity, type, make, brand, style, etc is always perfect. :biggrin2:

No need to wrap anything....

And no problems with returns!

If you can't love yourself, how can you be expected to love someone else...? :

Not trying to be contentious, but I tried a K&N air filter in the 911 for several years.
Honestly I couldn't tell any difference in performance on either the road or track.
I finally got tired of cleaning and oiling it and went back to OEM filters.

I bought a stainless Gibson exhaust from AJ-USA a couple of months ago. It was shipped quickly and I had no problems with the purchase. They were also as cheap, or cheaper, on the Gibson than any other place I could find ($330 to the door).

That said, be a little bit wary, as most of the feedback I saw about them on the net was negative. (Of course, a happy customer is silent, while an angry one tells ten others.)

I hadn't seen any of that feedback. Having been in the market for a high-end digital camera and reading some pretty scary feedback about some mail-order places (electronics seem to be the worse for piss-poor service and all sorts of bull-sh*t), I've been very happy with their service and price. I first ordered the drop-in filter for the 'Runner plus a couple of filters for my motorcycles. Best price I found, arrived quickly.

I had ordered the K&N intake and they actually sent me an e-mail with a phone number to call because my shipping and billing information for the CC didn't match what was on record (I had changed it a day or so earlier after I had moved), so they weren't going to send out the merchandise until I called to confirm. I thought that was a good catch on their part. Once I talked with them, the item was sent and I got it a few days later from California to Missouri.

Since I quit my full time job and my part time job is on an on call basis (USM) my wife has put the KABOSCH on any self gifting

Hey Falls,
Don't ever even imply that it's self-gifting to the wife. Over the years I've learned how to get the little lady swoon when she opens that performance chip, sub-bass, or bull bar on Xmas morning, instead of that useless cashmere sweater or stupid diamond earings.

It's all in my book....."How To Get What You Want In A Dysfunctional Marriage".
It's $39.95 on Amazon.com
