• Commander of Awesome

  

  Spin off thread from Xmas list thread. Usually Christmas/birthday gifts are a total fail/let down but every once and a while I get something worthwhile.
  
  What's the best gift you ever got that you didn't as for?

  Got a dirtbike in the 6th grade. 1995 Yamaha RT 100. I asked for one for years, but never thought it would actually happen.
  
  Best. Christmas. Ever.

  I got an N64 for Christmas one year. I still have it and I still can beat the living fuck out of anyone in any game for that system.

  There is no doubt in my mind I could tie both my hands behind my back, while banging your mom, and still win. I am "too" good and you can take that to the bank.

  I got a 4 wheeler back in 1999. Completely unexpected but totally fucking awesome. A few years later I almost killed myself on it, messed it up pretty bad but didn't total it. It still serves as a farm quad at my grandma's farm.

  I really don't know???
  
  Probably some hot shoe back in my 8th-12th grade years. Could not find a pic of the black (soft leather/suede) hi tops back in 1990 or 1991...when most mid cut and hi top shoes were all black with white swoosh.
  
  So these bitches.....almost $100 in 1989 lol

  The day after I finished the dock I came home to see a pair of matching jet skis from my wife. Best gift I ever got.

  You couldn't hang with me at Mariokart bro. Never met a single person that could.
  
  And honestly either the N64 would probably be my answer as well. 17 or so years of entertainment and still going strong.

  Dad put cherry bomb glasspack dual exhaust (which came out in front of the rear tires) on my HS truck. Totally unexpected. Sounded awesome. Wish I still had that beast of a Chevy.

  This this this. The original games I got were Mario 64 and Mariokart. My favorite two games for the console to this day.

  Got a nice Giant Road bike...was a great gift until some asshole in DC stole it.

  Will be in two years...Belly still has me by a couple.
• dlazz

  While I also had a 64, I didn't get it for Christmas.
  
  I did, however, get a SNES for Christmas one year. Lots of memories on that. I remember being upset because I actually wanted the older NES because it (at the time) had better games .
• ernest_t_bass

  

  Shit, I don't even know the best gift I've ever received. Probably an Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card? I've always hated receiving gifts, so I usually ask for very little. From my wife, probably Golden Eye for the Wii. Good game.
  
  I'm lame.
