Did the best I could with that Fred.... such broad options might scare the non-expert buyer away. As a wife I would have no idea what design wheel my hubby would want or what tunes he might like. 5 star might be one of those ones that would be great to get a GC for, wonder if they would offer that as an option??

Great idea with the gift card...I am sure Mike at 5 Star would put something together so it would be cool looking...

As for the wheels...my wife says the same thing...tell me exactly what you want and i will order it...TMX sells the Methods at a great price...maybe a gift card from them as well... Maybe a spouse group buy..

I will noodle on this and see what comes to mind...

I would also think the Vendors would be able to help as well....they basically advise me...I have something in mind and by the time I am done...I have purchased something completely different...

Btw- I think guys are much harder to shop for...

Sorry for the rambling post...and thanks for doing this...

Fred

I'll blame the rambling post on your organized glove box... just kidding:lol2:

I'm a little hesitant to put down one vendor for the Methods since we have a few.... However, if a Vendor wanted to step forward with a special holiday deal on the Methods, I would of course include that in my post... Cough... Cough....
