IDK.  It's your box.  You decide what you keep and what you send along.

All I know is they aren't being sold in the stores anymore.  I bought like 4 when they were new.  The 12 year old kid in me LAUGHS every time I see one.

 

Edit: here's my poop king next to gotta go.

Little Monohue and I scour a local thrift shop for Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars most weekends. We got a Poop King months ago, minus the honey pots, and we didn't notice what it said until we got home. Suddenly it all makes so much more sense...

I'm a slacker and have yet to send my box. My victim has already sent theirs. If you're still waiting, you can blame me.

My package will be opened and documented this evening!

The exhaust Port covers are Dodge NASCAR pieces from the early 00's, the fuel pressure regulator is from a Holley blue fuel pump, the silver disc that you propose to make a cat toy is actually a slicer from the plant that makes the cloths for Clorox wipes,

Had a box show up all the way from Illinois.  Wireless scope, these things are awesome and a must have for my job.  Action cam with case is rad.  Tire depth gauge that is in better shape than the one in currently using. Some little circuit board thing that I have no idea what it is but I'm gonna learn and make something with it since someone took time out of their day to send it to me

 

Many many thank yous to whoever sent this to me and to Hungary Bill for making it happen.

E36 M3-berkeley, LOL. If I'd have known you had an RX-7, I might have put something else in the box. You were difficult to customize for, and I had to enlist help to completely verify your identity. 

It is a multi-speed bike chain, and it shouldn't be completely worn out.

I hope the mini-pound cakes aren't stale.

I always try to put a few local food flavors into the box I send out.  I prefer the beer to be a bit on the warmer side, it loses a lot of the flavor when it's really cold. The rub is mild and "smokey." I included the Smokey the Bear air fresheners in case the smokey led to fire-y. 

I crack myself up. 

Oh, yeah. I found the 10mm Gear Wrench stuck down in the bottom of the fan housing in a car I bought. The gear part wasn't working, but I managed to bring it back into operational mode.

I tried "extreme evasive maneuver - left" but it was still a hit!

Packed in Canada? I knew this box smelled funny...

I can't tell if this is by Bradford or of Bradford, but either way, I love it. It's either 3 airplanes, 3 helicopters, or 3 lobsters.

Oooooh, a trickle charger!

Nope, just a trickle box! (I knew better than to trust a box). Tempted to try and use some of these sensors though, they look Miata-ish.

Some sweet kit car and cartoon mags, stickers (my daughter took the shiny benchmark abrasives one with the skeleton riding an angle grinder), ppe, hot wheels, brownies and Mazda keychain! 

Quite the haul! Thank you very much!

Will make sure to try the Canadian candy and waffle bar with my coffee tomorrow!

Tbf- it's not my car. It's a grm side deal im doing and part of the fee is I get to use the car for shenanigans while it's in my care. I deemed this shenanigans. 

 

There IS a broken Mazdaspeed 3 right next to it - but no one wants to see that.

My box arrived earlier this week, however per the rules and my schedule I wasn't able to send mine until yesterday (should arrive at the victim by Friday).

Tonight I decided to open my box.

 

 

 

 

 

Let's see what goodies lurk inside...

Instructions are always a good sign... One day I'll remember to do that...

It's like my wife's "Fit, Fab, Fun" boxes that she gets, except cooler and full of someone else's old stuff.

I did immediately run down to the Mini to see if the shift knob would fit.. it doesn't without modification. The only thing better than someone else's stuff is someone else's project. 

My wife is currently deciding the sticker that she will be confiscating for her van. The 7 year old is still playing with the bubble wrap.

Lots of awesome stuff!

 

Cookies, know filter, stickers (at least 1 that is very rare!).

 

Hot sauce is spicy and stays on the pallet but is also tasty!

 

Roundel from bmw.  Lexus badge.

 

TV antenna and connection for digital airwaves.  

 

Trophy tops.

 

Cool hot wheels.

 

PAINT PENS!

 

tire patch kit lots of other good stuff!

 

The paper in the box will be a GRM secret.  Epic.

It's legit good.  It's also capable of using a little for flavor, or more for heat.  That Is key for a good hawt sauce.

 

Thank you!

 

This box is awesome!

 

There are many things I didn't describe (like the awesome color zip ties or the Ford v8 oil primer) or the paper in a box. 

 

Some things need to be a secret til next year.

I think everybody who participated in this AND is going to the challenge, should bring their box and we can trade stuff.

 

I'm happy with everything in my box, but I could be convinced to trade some stuff for a maxpeedingrods3582 turbo.

 

Lolz.

USPS informed delivery informed me last week, while I was out of town that a package from Ohio would be waiting for me.  I just got my box out this afternoon so now I can finish opening it because USPS started on it for me. My apologies for the delay on both fronts.

"Rattle Intended", how menacing.

Chock-full of good stuff!  A whole mess of abrasive wheels and scotch brite pads, some apparel or PPE and a neat electrical tester for testing all sorts of circuitry.

A laser range finder, digital air filler gauge, counter bore cutter, the largest cotton swabs ever and some very nice electrical harness tape

More cutoff wheels, tool organizers *scoffs* I would never leave tools just laying around my garage.  A few more wiring bits including a battery terminal end, a relay of some sort and some of the zipties with the christmas tree plug on them. A few odds and ends and what looks like a flow control valve of some sort with 1/4" push lock fittings on both sides.

There's also a plastic caliper, a very nice looking carbide burr and a Starret 6" rule that needs a little love.  That's some high quality junk EvanB and excellent stalking!  I can't wait to leave this in the box in my office until I'm angrily searching for it when I'm stumped on a project in the garage and remember that a random internet stranger sent me the cure for my problem months ago.

I didn't have anything directly useful after I figured out who you were but I imagined you could make use of abrasives. 

The electrical tester is a hilariously cheap power probe knockoff but I did verify that it supplies 12v with the rocker switch in the forward position and ground with the rocker back so it should be somewhat useful in a pinch. 

I include the huge q-tips every year and still have a large box full from when they were discarded at work, they are actually useful for some things.

Funny enough, I asked Bradford to draw some cars. The magazines came in my box last year, as did a couple of the stickers. The sensors came in a parts lot for my Protege5 race car, but didn't match anything on the car. 

I was tempted to throw in a trickle charger, but because I work for the company that makes them, I can't just give away product.

Hoping you or the kiddo (or the wife) enjoy the Star Wars stuff.  If not, feel free to pass along to someone at work.  The donkey stickers are from Sticker Mule, they include them with every order so I had plenty to spare.
