Hehe, glad it was a good package. The wire is genuine US Army trip wire (for your standard issue booby traps). Likewise the flag patch is Uncle Sam issue from the Storm.

The rain fly is a motorcycle cover (or so I was told when I bought the Magna).

The orange doo hicky is some sort of tool holder for the garage (rake, shovel, etc).

I hope you have fun, I engoyed packing it.

Sent. I'm not typically an overachiever but I had another box to go to the Post Office today. Most of my contents were chosen just needed a slight customization and done!
Tracker says that mine arrived in PA on Monday 19th. Delivered to front door/porch.

Arrived one week ago in Penn. Still no word.

I didn't know they wouldn't just leave a flat rate box... I guess I should have included a couple bucks for gas money.

So I saw this post and had the UPS website up for work, and decided to copy/paste the tracker in for E36 M3s and giggles. Turns out it's my town and state to begin with, haha.

Thanks in advance. I'll be home late tonight, but I'll be sure to post in the morning!

That was me.

The carb is from a CJ-5...probably.

The little plastic thingys are wire strain reliefs for metal junction boxes, thrown in the box on a whim.

Don't know if the CB work either!

I think you're right on the Miata hub bolts. I had them in the random fastener box and knew you had a Miata.

The 4 pin thingy, I believe is a vibrator from an old automotive electrical system to get alternating current from a battery. It came with a bunch of vacuum tubes. Can you imagine trying to google for more information on an automotive vibrator? I did. It wasn't very productive.

Fence, Wisconsin is were our family cabin is located. See avatar picture. Downtown Fence! The definition of bum berkeley nowhere.

Berghoff beer bottle cap. I think I prefer Leinenkugels.

The threaded shaft with the bent wire is the filter holder for the top of the carb.

I think the wood trim could be maple. Some one dumped that on me too!

Watch your toes when you throw my crap out for me! That carb is heavy.

No way! I could not for the life of me figure out who I sent the package to here- despite my best efforts at trolling!

And it turns out I'm not very good at the secret part. Oh well- I hope you enjoy it

Well, mine got here today!

Pardon the blurry picture. It's an awesome coffee mug with all(?) the E30 M3 racing liveries on it, and a couple of pretty cool OZ Racing air fresheners in the shape of wheels. I'm putting those away until the truck has a floor and seats again, too cool!

I've already used the mug for tea. I drink a ton of coffee, so this mug will certainly get used well! Thanks Mystery Sender!

Ok, so there's two hot wheels. Cool! Especially because whenever a car person comes to my house for the first time they inevitably comment on the slammed odyssey they pass. Now i have one! And my daughter got a bunch of of wheels track for Xmas but no new cars. So she is happy too.

And...hubs? For a what now? Part number search isn't finding anything yet.

I wrote it on the inside flap of the box. Rear wheel hubs/bearings for a SAAB 93 Aero that I never needed.

If you can't use them pass them on to someone that can or ebay if you must.

Mine was on the porch when I got home today. I need to find where my gf hid my camera so I can take pics and upload them and post.

So stay tuned, same bat channel same bat time.

Came home today to find a package waiting for me!

I could hardly wait to open it and see what was inside...
I got all manner of badges

A Viper that requires minor surgery to reinstall the front wheel
A Skinny Puppies CD which I will try out on the way to work tomorrow

Fast Car Physics, a book that I hope to need one day. My current fleet is not fast but I want to be prepared in case I ever have a fast car again.

An Xmen comic, awesome!

A Haynes manual for the 3rd and 4th gen Honda Civic

The March 2011 edition of Octane Classic & Performance Cars Magazine, featuring the Legends of Group B

A super awesome Lego Architecture kit of the Empire State Building

But wait, there's more!
There's a big bottle of Lucas Slick Mist Fast & Easy Speed Wax. Shucks, you had me at fast & easy.

Not one, not two but three hats!!! This year I gave and received a GRM Beanie, I think that is pretty cool!


And a whole handful of GRM bumper stickers!

Thank you to my secret pal, I am thinking my box came from JG but just a guess! Whoever the sender was, thank you for all of the awesome loot!

So, I got up early this morning, drove to Nashville, and bought a car. When I got home there was a suspicious package in my mailbox....

What could it be???

It's from my GRM Secret Santa!

Goodies include:
- A rolling tape measure.
- A pair of Gorrila Gloves that fit.
- A Bluetooth headset.
- Two pocket knives.
- A home depot pencil.
- A box cutter.
- And three drill bits that all happen to be missing from my set! Seriously, how did you know which bits I needed?

Thank you Hungary Bill for setting this up, and thank you to whoever sent this!
