Unfortunately, I was the giver. When I was much younger, I decided that it would be nice to give Diana something for Christmas that she would truly enjoy. Another drum roll please......

So I bought her a quadraphonic lear jet stereo system for OUR car! Then to top it off, just to make sure that nobody stole this wonderful gift, I had them install a super duper alarm system in our car.

Now here is what was priceless. The car that I installed this $1000 stereo and alarm system in....

A Green 1973 Chevy Vega Station Wagon with a 3-speed manual transmission worth about $700 tops!!! :eek:

I still remember that morning at my parents house, when I managed to surprise her by having it installed and waiting for her in the garage on Christmas morning. I took her by the hand, opened the door to the car, turned up the music, and tears started streaming down her face and we're not talking about tears of joy here. I think the next words which came from my mom explained the situation the best. "Donnie, what in the world were you thinkin'?"

Hey, I was young!!! What can I say?
