Anyone ever got or given a car for Christmas? Do tell.

Mind you, I’m not talking about yeah we were thinking about getting a car and decided to fold it into the holiday season. I’m after real surprise gift stuff.

You know, I was just thinking about a p[ast thread about people giving cars with great big bows on them ---------

I was part of something like that this year. A lady bought her husband his Dream Motorcycle - a classic Harley 45 all decked out military style. She set him up with some “we HAVE to visits” Christmas eve and day and had a few of us slip it in their garage and put a giant ribbon on it. They pulled in the driveway, hit the button for the garage door, and there it was. We were long gone by then but I hear it was a hit.
