Brad, just what did you receive during the Gift Exchange?

Is this going to be yet another "Dreaded Piston" gift for years to come????

 

THE DREADED PISTON

 

 


The Vintage Vettes Christmas gift exchange is completely optional.  Gifts are to be around the $10 amount.  Gifts are all placed together and then each couple may pick one gift from the under the tree.  But don't get to attached, someone can steal your gift from you and you must take the one they give you in exchange.  The gifts travel the room from one owner to another until all gifts have been distributed. 

WHO WILL GET THE PISTON????  MAYBE IT WILL YOU YOU!!!

For the 1997 Christmas Party, Brewster J wanted to bring a gift that was Corvette related.  So, he secured a big block 427 piston, wrapped it up and took it to the party.  Rick and Joyce C. were surprised to open their gift and find an old dirty piston.

1998 ~ Rick and Joyce decided to recycle the piston at the 1998 party and added their own special touch to the piston.

And... the tradition began!!!

Each new owner added more to the coveted Dreaded Piston !
