Last years attempts at hitting the USPS flat rate weight limit were pretty solid.

email sent. I'm in again this year.
Looks like I had better get the knives sharpened, saws-all battery charged up, and the ChainSaw gassed up in preparation for the box opening!
FYI... as I found from previous years, a small flywheel fits in a flat rate box if you don't mind the teeth sticking out.

PM sent. Hope I did it right!
It's like secret Santa, but with car swag and no religious affiliation. It's that wonderful time of the year when the garage pixies rifle through all the crap they've accumulated for projects they sold 10 years ago, stickers for race teams that don't exist, and other broken dreams and squashed hopes. Then they stuff them in a festive flat rate box and ship it to some poor, randomly-selected forum member who has no idea what to expect. It's like not knowing if you're getting gifts or coal in your stocking because it has nothing to do with whether you're naughty or nice.
You might get an intake gasket for a BMW you'll never own, or the exact unobtanium part you've been searching for since the Nixon era. Who knows?
In reply to Curtis :
The best explanation. The best part in my opinion is passing on the useless gasket to the next guy to see if he has any better luck with it.
I'm in, off to send the email. I still use the E30 racing livery coffee mug I got 2 or 3 years ago..
Hoo dawgies! We are off to a record breaking start!
34 entrants so far, and the e-mails are still coming in! Lots of repeat offenders so far, and a pretty good serving of newcomers as well. This should be a good one.
As of right now, I've sent a response to every e-mail I've received so if you haven't gotten one that means I did not get your e-mail. Let me know in the thread if that's the case, and I'll try sending a PM your way to establish contact.
Also, I just want to give a bit "thank you" to everyone who makes this game what it is every year. You guys and your shenanigans are beyond belief! I'm relatively sure that if the postal service caught half a wind of what we were doing to them, they'd shut us down immediately.
Cheers guys! And thanks for playing!
Oooh...this is something I've watched in years past, but always tabled until next year....until now!
I'm in...this should be fun!
I think due to schooling and lack of full time employment, I'm gonna have to sit this one out.
Please keep the tradition of opening your boxes in a stupid and probably dangerous way alive for me until next year.
I'm probably in, but pretty much all my worldly positions are in storage. I'll wait till the end of the week to ransack my storage unit and see if I can gather up enough swag to make it interesting before making a decision.
