Funny how things change depending on location. For some reason, folks love the TD here, maybe due to rarity. I assume regarding the 250, you're referring to the optional Chrysler 4 cylinder gasser? Not much to complain about with them. About as durable the 4.0, but most real fuel economy advantage.

The issues with the 2.5 TD, people had here, were with the cooling system. Those engine even when new they were running hot. It was related purely to engine, since the Dodge Dakota with the same engine had the same issues.

I was referring to the Chevrolet 250, in this part of the world it was made in Brazil till 2001 with some nice upgrades like multiple fuel injection, redesigned heads. 170 HP and 311 NM, less HP than the 4.0 but more torque.
The best part it was almost a drop in swap for the 2.5 TD

Just to give you an idea about how much people dislike the 2.5 TD. Used Cherokees with the 2.5 cost like 20% less than the ones with the 4.0

[Lila Feuer]

I got:

- A couple nice logo-less black shirts
- A new ring [picture]
- A pair of ADIDAS Superstars (White with blue stripes)
- A pair of boots
- Two pairs of fingerless gloves (purple & black checkerboard and purple bones)
- Numerous video games

[Swine & Roses]

Nothing, I'm a heathen.

[MrGlide]

congrats MrDead1313! I got a $50 walmart gift card, then bought some lootboxes on overwatch for myself.

[geo]

I celebrated. Got nothing really. I used to go nuts for Christmas and buy everyone far too much, but a few years ago I learned don't bother. So now I'm balanced out with what I give. It makes me feel bad to not give, but it makes me feel far better when I don't receive anything.

[Mauzki]

Ermm

I got a new PC (1050ti, intel icore 5 something)
144hz monitor, overwatch. Oh and I should hopefully be getting RE7, oh and some whiskey! Oh and a death stranding poster.

[HavoX]

I won't know for sure until later tonight or early tomorrow. I haven't asked Mom, but we're holding off on the presents until my oldest brother and his wife get here.

[Koko Ricky]

Got a really fancy Wacom tablet that will have a dramatic impact on my visual work. That's probably the most significant. Also got "Belladonna of Sadness" on Blu-Ray (a psychedelic and sexually violent anime from the early 70s, a very important and unbelievable work of moving art), a bunch of random food and a couple of gi-fucking-gantic Doom '16 posters. Oh yeah, and an electric nose/beard groomer, looking forward to testing that out.

[Fulgrim]

I got the day off from work and thats about it.

[CARRiON]

This shirt, and this one, and this hat.

I also got this ring and this ring.

Oh, and a bunch of Steam games. Despite all of this awesome stuff though I'm just glad to have the love of my life. Onto the new year...

[Jello]

I got a new pre-amp for my record player, Slipknot [Explicit] on vinyl (shut up, I love that album, one of the last real mainstream metal albums released, I never cared for the albums they released after that, but self-titled is damn good) and a Leatherman multi-tool.

I was more happy watching my older brother open up the marble hand-crafted chess set I got for him. He looked like a little kid at Christmas as he was opening it. It was fun watching him, a grown man saying "What the hell is this? It's heavy. 20 pounds?... what the hell is this? Is this a Chess set?" and his wife was giggling the whole time because she knew what it was. That was my Christmas gift to myself, watching my brother open his unknown present, and giving his wife the gift of giggles while watching him open it; it warmed my heart.

According to him I won Christmas this year. I prefer giving gifts and seeing the joy they can create; especially when it's a gift the person didn't ask for, and wasn't expecting.

They ain't bad. Their demo before their record label debut is Mr. Bungle-esque.

Yeah, I like coffee.

that makes two of us. I ended up grabbing a lido3 (hand grinder) for the office.

[Doomkid]

Socks, underwear and a week off work at the coast. Loving it!

[june gloom]

I bought myself a PS4 earlier in the month but it was paid for with the one-time death payout from my dad, so I consider it his last real Christmas gift.

The Last Guardian was a birthday gift (on the 22nd) and Final Fantasy 15 was Christmas. I also got myself Until Dawn and Bloodborne.

Got some silverware from mom, also new clothes. Pizza gift cards. Amazon card, Steam card (bought Dark Souls 2 upgrade and Dishonored 2 with it.) Friends got me a few random games off my Steam wishlist.

The PS4 has been a joy but the silverware was the best surprise -- my old utensils are cheap porcelain shit.

[sesq]

Mostly money. I bought Civ5 and The Talos Principle. The one gift of note I did recieve was a MAGA hat, of which I am wearing now. It's for ironic purposes only.

[PizzaGuy]

Amazon gift card
some aftershave
The wife and I tend to spend Christmas on the kids these days.
which its what its for really.

Though I did treat myself to a copy of Masters of Doom.

[MFG38]

Grabbed myself 7 games on Steam during the sale, total worth about €13 (calculated from discounted prices), those games being the following:

Airscape: The Fall of Gravity
Castle in the Darkness
Deus Ex + Invisible War
Momento Temporis: Light from the Deep
Oxenfree
Redemption: Saints and Sinners

Aside from those, I only got a box of chocolate from my grandma.

$200 Kohls giftcard

I have sooo much money in Kohls gift cards, it makes my hands sweat. They probably sit around in meetings at Kohls corporate planning for when I'll spend down that account and how the stock price will fare.

Got some money and small cute stuff this year, including a framed picture of my little nephew.

[Sick Bow]

A miniature drumset for my desk
A potato clock
$15 Taco Bell gift card
Steam controller
New harddrive
Lotto scratch-offs (won $30!)

Didn't expect to actually get anything, clutch distant family came in for the win.
