Here we go again! New Years Game 2017 anyone?

Mine came over the weekend!

Such a mysterious return address...

On top we have a shirt, a bag full of injectors, and a mystery box.

What's in the box?

A hoist! Also, a work lamp, a Michigan plate (stay warm up there!), some fine Italian candy, enough fuel injectors for all of the vehicles I currently own and then some, and a pretty sweet Ford lab coat. I'm pumped about that.

Thanks Jeff! I think that Jeff is going to be my home science experiment alter ego - this thing will definitely get some use.  Thanks for this bit of Christmas cheer - we moved to CA over the summer, so this is the first Christmas either my wife or I has spent away from family.  It was greatly appreciated.

Mine is en route as of today!

Wow, really amazing gifts so far!

I'm pleased to report that I finally got my box to the fine folks at the post office today. Washington DC will be receiving some of the finest garage crap from Washington state soon.

Unboxed my package today. Most excellent contents all the way from Portland. Unfortunately one of the two bottles of home brewed cider broke in transit. Thankfully the packaging mostly prevented damage to the remaining contents of the box. I'll get the pictures I took uploaded later along with exciting commentary of the contents.

Also, I will get my box on its way this week. We've been away from home for a couple of weeks.

Box number two heading out tomorrow.... (Oh the suspense !!!!!)

I got a box!

First up there is a spark plug wire set:

Then some kind of rebuild kit:

A box for a 1/2" wheel bolt:

6" bench grinder wheel (guess I should finally get a bench grinder):

A 7-pin trailer connector:

A set of ceramic brake pads that are much larger than the brakes on anything I own:

A mystery tool:

A packet of caliper grease:

And a 1/2" lug bolt!

Thanks Pat!

Got mine today.

All taped on the sides to prevent anything from escaping.

Fuel filter for a Alfa Romeo Spider and a bunch of filler paper.

 

Small tube of Ultra Black RTV, Some Scion hubcaps, A couple of hotwheels (Both Mazda's),  A couple of pressure gauges.

Including one that is 6 lbs off.

Some lights, brochure for 924 and the 2006 Mustang.

Poster for a 1966 nova, A bunch of stickers, A roll of something purple.

The whole pile.

Somebody almost found my basic needs but they forgot to get the cone dirty.

In reply to moxnix :

That is mighty fine looking stuff you got there!

Box is packed as of 10 minutes ago. Post office shall receive it tomorrow!

Edit: my wife got into the packing action a bit, too, when she got curious about what I was up to rummaging around everywhere. 

I got a package forum Raleigh, NC, today. I haven't sent mine out yet, so in fairness, I haven't opened it. I'll be sending mine out Thursday, so I'll report back with pictures then. 

I recieved mine yesterday which has served as a way to make me feel guilty for not sending mine out yet.

It's here, it's here!

I'll unbox during lunch.

Thank you.

Mine went out last Friday I think- I honestly have a difficult time remembering exactly what day was what over the last 2 weeks. Hopefully it's nearing its destination out near my employer's home base...

Received mine last week as well, but still have yet to really unpack it- hopefully I'll get the chance to tonight and take pictures to post.

I'm slacking; sorry to my secret santa recipient.  Hopefully I'll get it out this week.

Sent mine out yesterday, supposed to arrive by Friday. 

pssst, David!  It's lunch!  Whadja get??

I had Enchiladas. They were excellent. Maybe David had some too?

Can i just say I'm quite jealous of the 'junk' some of you guys have kicking around your garages? My garage is full of actual junk.

nice.  I enjoy a good enchilada as well.  I'm about done my bibimbap from Bibibop. Also tasty, and fairly priced for this area.

In reply to Robbie :

I know at least in my case I try and collect things throughout the year (several of the things I sent were amusing things I found while parts hunting in junkyards) as well as save parts when I pull them from projects.

Ruh roh. Hopefully the less-good one broke...

That’s a garrett t25 turbo rebuild kit, I figured you would use it before me.  Mystery tool came from an old guy that worked for ohio bell.  Brake pads are 99-?? Super duty ford fronts.

We did lunch out of the office today. We had to pick up our passes for the Roar Before the Rolex, so we combined that with some Chinese food.

I'll be opening it in a few. Had to get some editorial into the pipeline first. 

We did an unboxing video. It will be posted shortly.
