Your Christmas Lists... I originally planned on publishing the numerous "Christmas Lists" submitted to My Daily Driver.com for this month's article. I will still do this, however I am writing this on December 11th, not by design but rather by happenstance. Just like you, I attempt to maintain a balance between family, work, fun and My Daily Driver, not always in that order. Well, normally when I write, I have either CNN or MSNBC or the football game playing in the background. So as I have all the content for this month's article strewn out before me, scribbles on the back of match books, ATM receipts and unformatted email replies, I am ready to go. It had not occurred to me that today, December 11th is the three month anniversary of the attack on my country until the TV begins a report, "Back to Ground Zero".

When my wife and I were married, after 6 weeks of dating and a flight to Las Vegas courtesy of Marcy and Dave, we would mark each month as an anniversary. That is what newly weds do. After 6 years of marital bliss, we tend to only observe the actual annual date. Not due to the lack of caring but more to honoring the time that has past.

The events of September 11th will also eventually become an annual observation. But, I was emotionally caught off guard by the re-visiting of that day only 3 months ago. I am pissed off. I am still incredibly angry. Our Special-Ops forces may kill all those who were involved. Or perhaps we may bring every individual even remotely associated with this attack to summary justice and yet, I will still be furious.

Well that being said, before the broadcast, I was determined to publish the "Christmas Lists" you submitted to My Daily Driver. I will say that the majority of you requested that Santa deliver Osama Bin Laden's head. That is a fine request and I hope it is filled. These are my favorite "Lists" that I also would like Santa to fill.

Dear Santa, I've been a good boy this year, I won the Mopar Nationals and finished runner-up several times and I only red lighted 3-4 times in eliminations. I require the following items to be delivered as soon as possible as race day rapidly approaches and I've been sitting on my butt and not doing the things that should I have started a month ago:

1.  4.56 ring and pinion for a Dana 60
2.   Frank Lupo Dynamic trans brake.
3.   MSD two-step limiter
4.   Moroso Line lock
5.   Alston Ladder bar kit
6.   Pair of Eagle adjustable coil over shocks
7.   Pair of 30x10x 15" MT slicks
8.   Pair of Centerline wheels 10X15 with 7" offset
9.   Billet servo piston for 727 trans
10.  and could you reweb my 5 point belts, there in the back seat of my pick-up
11.  Just one more thing, could you weld in that new roll cage sitting in the shop for me

Dear Sants, I treated myself to an early Xmas. I got my NEW heads from Indy Head with the big 2:14/1:81 Valves, mild porting, double springs, 3 angle stainless steel valve job! Got my NEW Roller Rocker set up. Got my NEW Degree-able 3 bolt timing chain assembly for my 590 lift solid lifter cam. Got my NEW manual Steering box from Steer & Gear! Life is looking good for my soon to be Badder Ass Dart! Oh and to top it off, I got a "SUPER" (I mean a steal), deal on an M1 intake and a 1050 Dominator carb to boot! Oh yes!! My Dart WILL be faster than ever. However Santa, I would like one more present. I need a complete 100 Shot Nitrous kit for my Dart. I plan on going to the moon, so I'll need it. (I hear the moon people are racing this weekend).

As for my own Chritsmas List? Well, lets just say that I have pretty much all I need. Sure, there are tons of things I "want", but all in due time. I would like to wish all of you a safe and happy holiday season and I'll see you next year!
