Well.......I said I was going to wait but the package kept laying there looking at me so I opened it. I am going to guess my Secret santa as being "Kitsaboodle" Package came from California and I received a multi -item package last year from someone out there. This package contained a Rodney Dickman cold air induction kit, a Fiero tie clip, several classic car books, a 1964 consumer's report car magazine, and a older Car and Driver. Toooooo much S.S. whoever you are. I looked at packaging...box manufactures post marks. I have gone thru the register and under occupations listing warehouse I found his name. It seems that is where the person last year worked. If I am wrong please send me a pm.......I have exhausted my dective work......... Thank you......Cliff

My gift arrived a few days ago. No pics, as I can't get my digital camera working, but thank you for the 2-way radios. Hmmmmm.... "18 mile" range huh? Gotta test that out!
Now for the detective work.......
It appears as if Santa has some elves working at QVC, as the package came directly from their shipping center. It seems as if the elf that packed this box may have been drunk..... Upon closer inspection, I noticed a packing slip in the box along with the gift.....hmmmmmm..... The packing slip has some pretty interesting information on it, like maybe the identity of Santa himself!
Judging from what I know of the sender, I'd say my secret santa is.......
Mr. Phillips (aka currie68) from Oregon City, OR.
Thanks for the gift, and Merry Christmas everyone!

I received mine over a week ago. All I got was a box of junk.
Now Annette says that we have a little piece of the backyard in the house. Just what she wanted.
Merry Christmas to Bloomington Illinois. (DL10???) You know me better than you thought. I love it! The "Junk" definately stands out with the rest of my Fiero collection.
Thanks Dar for doing this again!

Well, I'm sitting here late tonight watching Xmas shows with the kids and realized we hadn't gotten the mail yet. So I go open the mailbox and low and behold Santa had arrived!!
Exactly what I was wanting!! Now I don't have to keep my waist and belt buckle 3 inches away while working on my baby.
Thank You Thank You Thank You oh Secret Santa who at this time is still Secret as there is absolutely know information other than the Fiero Store info for me to trace it back to one of you.
I got a hardbound Fiero Press Guide from the Fiero Store. Great gift. I'll dig out my digicam later. I know my Secret Santas real name, but I'll have to look up his username and post it later. Thanks.
EDIT: Finally figured out my SS PFF name. Thank you RandomTask!!

Well it's not easy to give you anything Fiero related that you don't already have. I knew you would never have a Fiero in that kind of shape so I gave you one. Glad you like it.

Thank you Dave!!!
But you know guys, I don't do this to get gifts. I do it because I like to. You're making me feel bad. Don't get me wrong, it's really nice to get gifts, oh hell.....I don't know.
I guess I'm just better at giving than receiving.
Thanks again Dan, Dave, Aurora, Aaron and Dave!!

I didn't speek up sooner because Christmas was not here yet. The trays are actually origionals that I pull the tabs out of and then powder coat. It is a lot easier to use them for change and other non-icky items that way
I hope and pray that God blesses everyone this year.

wow ... DL10 ... that is just awsome. Even just the idea ...
Merry Christmas Tina
I think you are busted Tina? The UPS shipping tag address, and the picture of your top class car on the Fiero Store Calender was the clincher. The gifts were way too imaculately wraped for a guy to have done anything to this degree. The cookie's are way tasty, but came a little worse for wear. Good thing I was a Geologist and had a course or 2 in Paleontology ?I just took the whole grave-yard and went at it like a jigsaw puzzle. I wasn't quite sure if the Dark Brown car was soap or chocolate? Good thing I still had some organic chemistry skills left, after 30 years. It would have been kinda embarasing to try to lather up with rich dark chocolate? You must be a psychic, I need to re-torque my 88 Duke water pump, d/t slow leak. The technical gloves will save on skin / blood loss. I've never seen the 'Tire Store' Fiero before, when did it come out? I picked up a Hot Wheels Fiero at the Iowa State Fair for 75 cents. The undercarage says 2M6 with a Matel copy right of 1984? Looks like an BP notchie w / moon-roof and no luggage / spoiler to me?Exhaust and coolant tubes are wrong, close but not right, no soup for them.
Pictures will be coming as an edit, I need to find a good backdrop and my camera recharges way too slow. The 'American Graffiti' and 'Fresh Cherries' Fieros I've stocked up on ( and may be used for future SS gifts ).

You mean to tell me the Mailman broke every single little gingerbread notchback I baked ? Even the ones with the red frosting and sprinkles? GRRRrrrrrrrrrr.

I suppose you could take the Chocolate Fiero with you into the shower. Most people do just eat chocolate though. Lot less messy. As to the orgin of the model Fiero into Tire Shop set up. Simular in looks to the Chocolate one I made for you. Don't exactly know too much more about it. Seen the Tire Shop + other make car earlier in a store and thought I swap a Fiero in for you. For the Fiero guy that has everthing.

A cute little UPS guy brought me a package on Christmas Eve. It contained the following:
The picture doesn’t do the gift justice, but I wanted to share. It’s absolutely AWESOME.
Apparently my Secret Santa doesn’t think that I am “peachy” enough, as the package also contained a jar of Dole sliced peaches.
Okay…I know that the peaches are supposed to be my clue as to the identity of the sender. Gordo and I put our heads together, and since no one uses the name of “sliced peaches”, came up with the possibility that because they came in a “jar”, it might be “Jarhead2M4”. Are you my Secret Santa?

For those of you whom I sent messages. I've got over 300 pm's from people, and if I missed yours (or can't remember it) saying you sent your gift out, please don't be mad. I'm not insinuating that you didn't. I think I ticked one of you off already. I'm just trying to keep this up to date and make sure everyone got something.
If you still haven't sent a gift out and are in trouble and can't send one out. Please let me know. Don't be embarrassed or anything, crap happens!!
Thanks,
Dar

I just got a pm from him saying he was going to wait until you got back to school. lol So look for it when you go back. Do you go to Pitt?? Me, I was born and raised in North Hills. Don't know if you know where that is, but it's by the Ross Park Mall if you've ever been there. lol
OK OH MY FN GOD, WTF.....Who sent these to me. I would have never guessed that a person that I would not know would do these for me. And yes you know what car they are for. There could be no better thing that I could have received. I will have a photo up soon. I am freaking so emotional right now I am almost in tears. I will dry up and post
