Friday, December 7th - Ship-by Date: Ideal ship-by date. PLEASE do everything you can to have your gift on its way on or before this day. Sunday, December 23rd - PoniesAteMyBagel-Day (Deadbeat Cut Off): If you have not provided proof of shipping by this date, you will be considered a deadbeat and will be banned. Make sure you post pics after you get a package, someone went through the trouble and expense to send something to you, thank them! Registration: -Please send the following info in the same format to automotiveinsanity2016@gmail.com. Subject Line must include your forums username and only your forums username. -Username -UserID: (this can be found by clicking on your profile and copying the number string at the end of the url -http://forums.somethingawful.com/me...userid=________) -Shipping Label Name: (what you want me to send your Santa for him to slap on the shipping label. Real names, fake names, etc) -Shipping Address: (please include all special info here for deliveries. Indicate if a signed delivery will be required for security reasons and I'll let your Santa know early) -Santee Shipping: Domestic/North America/International (pick one).

If it says Domestic and I see you're in Australia, I'll get it. Your email must have the above information in the order it is listed or i will email you and tell you to reformat it and try again. Then, you make a post in this thread. In your post please have: - Any specific requests. If you don't want dicks drawn on the box say so, but I'm not making any promises. - You may include an optional "do not send" list.

You're a deadbeat. When you ship your gift, you must provide proof of shipment. automotiveinsanity2016@gmail.com with the username of the person you're buying for and the tracking information.

If you can't afford gift plus shipping, please don't register. - Please do not spend stupid amounts of money on gifts for someone on the internet. Unless you're incredibly wealthy, have some sort of personal relationship with them, or it's loving hilarious and fills you with joy to send - If you will be moving or traveling a lot during a gift time, please say so in your email and/or post so that I/your santa knows when and where is the best time to send your gift. If you have ANY questions, concerns or anything you need at all. Please PM or email me! Donations of scotch for dealing with all this are welcome!

Thanks for doing this again iForge! Special requests: Please attempt to make me question my heterosexuality with the amount of dicks you draw on the box. Neat and nifty tools / random poo poo like assorted cotter pins are always appreciated I'm probably a Large now for any shirts but I can totally fit a Medium. No drugs, no booze, explosives okay if properly shipped. Adiabatic fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Nov 5, 2018 |

I'm in, as always. :edit for details: I'm an F1 fan, although not a Lewis Hamilton fan. I'm not into any sports aside from F1 and a little ALMS/WEC/Indycar. I like VWs (98 Jetta TDI), drive a big dumb truck ('15 GMC 2500HD Duramax), and an shitbox Honda ('07 Fit), although the Honda is likely being sold soon. At this point, I think I've got nearly every tool I need, but 10mm sockets are always in short supply if you're stumped. I work on underwater and above-water electronics, so anything electronics-related is worth a giggle. I'm into boats, but not fishing. I'll be finishing a work skiff for my wife this winter. I wear the same thing every day (seriously), so shirts aren't particularly useful to me, but if you insist, XL is my size.  No drugs, booze, or NSFW poo poo, please. I don't drink, don't do drugs, and I'm married. I don't game, listen to punk/hardcore, and I'm an Android user (Pixel2XL currently). That should cover it. sharkytm fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Nov 5, 2018 |

I'm in like Flynn. Gonna have to submit 2 addresses, depending on shipping method (both go to a USPS box, but they want a different address if it's coming via UPS/Fedex/etc, and holy gently caress are they PICKY about the formatting if it's coming via another carrier). Uhm, I like dead car brands, good music (NO DAVE LIMP BIZKIT IS NOT GOOD MUSIC, IN FACT IT'S NOT EVEN MUSIC), t-shirts (large), stickers, wall art, broken poo poo, hot sauces, etc. I've owned a Ford, 6 Hondas, 1 Nissan, and I'm on my second Saturn. I'm pretty well set on hand tools. Nothing graphic on the outside of the box, I traumatize the poor employees at my post office enough with all of the Rockauto orders. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Nov 10, 2018 |

Been waiting for this since last year, I'm in again. I ride bikes, typically the unpowered variety more than the moto. Stickers and garage art are always appreciated. Shirt size is a medium/slim large. If it helps I'm a code monkey by day, occasionally I fiddle with electronics or play pc games. Music preferences (if it's relevant?) include ska/hip-hop/electronica with minimal lyrics. I've got dietary restrictions (coeliac) and customs frown on food products anyway so those would best be avoided. AusPost also don't like handling packages with dicks drawn all over the outside. Whatever you want to do inside is free game.

In on the ground floor! I like dicks, stickers, broken machines/electronics, bottles of magic smoke, hot sauces. The fleet comprises of a wr250r, ktm 950adv, africa twin, and a bricknose ford. Tshirt/hoodie size is a medium. electronica to ndh for music. Tools I'm pretty well covered but oddballs or homebrew'd are awesome. no mealworms please.

Oh gently caress yeah boys I valiantly try (and fail) to go fishing whenever I can, work on dumb mazdas (Own a mazda 6, work on a buddy's rx8 and long for an FC or miata), drink booze and work at an auto parts store. I'd also smoke weed if I wasn't so lazy about buying it. Anything goes, just please no shirts. My typical goony body is not compatible with most cloth wrappings. Stuff that hangs on walls is cool though. Go nuts on the box. I welcome the awkward exchange with my family.

Gonna go in again this year. Have to, as is tradition. I have no specifics, and stalking may be better if you go under my old userID: 171727. Fair warning, though: if you do it's gonna get weirder the further back you go. Size women's 2x/18 if you're gonna do clothing but eugh augh whatever. I also have a ps4 but only HZD as a game. I'm more into the giving mood this year. Queen Combat fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Nov 13, 2018 |

E-mail sent! I have a thread so you can see what kind of bullshit cars I have. I like books, tools, shirts (I wear a L) and whatever weird poo poo you can find. The books I already have (to avoid a duplicate book like happened last year) are: Driver, The Grand Tour Guide to the World, And On That Bombshell, some James May book that I can't find on Amazon, Go Like Hell, Arsenal of Democracy, all the Haynes and Bentley manuals I need and a few other books I'm forgetting.

I continue my longstanding membership of the SS. Wait...  Usual from me, I like most aspects of car stuff, so just send me anything cool, particularly stuff that represents car culture in your locale (unless it sucks). No shirts please, or anything that will cause customs or the postal service to have a sense of humour failure.

Sure, why not. - Nerdy, kitchy stuff is always fun - Things local to you - Craft beer (not IPA, darker is better) - Craft/Local Whisky or Gin - Small electronics - Nerdy board/card games - Car stuff (obviously), especially related to rally and hillclimb - I'm a men's XL if you absolutely must - I'm okay with  stuff or gag gifts as long as it's not something my GF will leave me over.I'm honestly easy to get stuff for as long as it's unusual/different. The best SASS gift I ever got was this:

I have emailed my registration for my third AI:SS For those hesitant and watching from the sidelines - don't! Join in, it is a lot of fun giving gifts to strangers on the internet! Should shirt size matter: slim fit large Vehicles: BMW M3 (I am basic as hell) Mazda6 beater Ford Flex familymobile I am a huge radio controlled car nerd as it is my hobby and job. I like small sized specialty tools, detailing stuff, BMW motorsports stuff (again, I am basic af), any local random foodstuff is fun to get. I am really good for whatever, just no booze/drugs/coffee as they won't be consumed. I have little kids around too so nothing directly  related but if there is a euphemism then more power to you.

I just had my first kid this year so maybe that's some useful information? Shirt size medium if it matters. - "do not send" list: I've already got enough sex toys. No Shagsalls please.

AI:SS has been great to participate in previous years,and it's a tradition at this point. If you haven't participated in previous years, make this your year, it's great fun! Vehicles: 2003 Subaru Baja WRX 2008 Porsche Boxster 2013 Hyundai Veloster 2010 Subaru Impreza I love road trips and travelling, I'm a nerdy guy who's an EE that designs electrical and control systems for industrial HVAC so techy and electronic do-dads are cool. I'm from the frozen north so nothing CBSA would confiscate if you're shipping cross-border but I like getting a taste of local flavors from around the country. Stickers are cool but they'll likely just end up on my toolbox. Otherwise go hog wild and surprise me!

Thanks Adiabatic for putting a reminder in so many threads. I kept reading it and thinking I must sign up before being distracted by things and forgetting. I drive a VW Polo, into general nerd poo poo etc. NSFW is fine and I'm a size L on shirts. I like things that are local to the santa - food, postcards, tourist crap too.

In for the second time! Last year was fantastic. Zero specific requests. Everyone in the house has a pretty good sense of humour, go nuts. (I will hang truck nuts from my F-150 if they're hot pink, bedazzled or anything equally offensive to brodozers). The more creative the better. Only thing I have enough of is automotive-themed t-shirts. Other clothing including polos, etc is more than welcome. Edit: Oh yeah; garage is a RX-8, F-150, Macan, CB400F. I live rotaries and electronics in general. McTinkerson fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Nov 9, 2018 |
