GRM New Years Game 2018 Pictures

Mine showed up today from Portland. Thank you Jesse

Sorry, I didn't think to take a picture right after I opened the box, but here's the contents.

Some reading material. I've seen the Sheene bio before , but the others are new to me.

The flashlight was on when I opened the box, must have been handled gently by the USPS. Ice scraper will go in the car. Little Swiss Army knife for the key chain, the remote may be regifted at some point, and the rest may see use in the Challenge build.

Drill stops and shop rags will come in handy. I hope the Fix-a-Flat isn't needed, but it'll be in one of the cars anyway.

I'm not sure what this is. Appears to be an adjustable (there a rotating shaft on the back) thermocouple relay device?

O2 sensor

Wiring and relays will be useful on the Challenge build, too.

.......and TWO, count 'em TWO filter renewal kits.

Some useful stuff and fun opening it up. Just like a kid at Christmas. Thanks again, Jesse. Now I'll have to figure out who you are on here.

In reply to DeadSkunk :

I have purchased two cars from Jesse and would do it again to get another one of those ice scraper/squeegee things.  Both cars had them and were color matched. Red in the red BMW, blue in the Mariner blue Miata

I see the package I sent was delivered.

Delivered, In/At Mailbox

I'm not sure if mine did or not. Lost the tracking number

The mail came! And there's a box! From Kentucky! Let's get the letter opener...

That'll do! Let's see what's inside!

Looks like we got the owner's manual for a Dodge Ram, a VHS of The Fast & The Furious, a ratchet with a 10mm socket, some awesome stickers and decals, 1 and 2 lapel pins, a Hot Wheels Maverick, lightbulbs, popcorn, trim restore, a sweet cellphone mount, a game for a system I don't recognize, and the best thing of all...

Model car parts!! Ones I can actually use, too. The dash and glass in particular. 

Thank you Secret GRM new year's Santa!!

Sawsall for the win!

Impatiently awaiting my box to be pictured, that was delivered on the 2nd 

We got snow in Chief's Kingdom today. And mail too! Will have to wait until Mrs. gets home, if I open without her after being so excited for it, she may leave me.

It wasn't a real Sawzall.  That was a Skil saw, which is, at best, a Sawzsome.

It's corded and built in the USA though. I have personally sawn three complete cars into garbage-can size chunks with it. Today I chopped down a tree.

In reply to Javelin :

The pins are my spare 1 and 2 year pins from the orange parts house I don't work at anymore. Pulley is the idler from my 4.6 2v, didn't bother checking if it was a useful spare for your 4v. The model parts are from kits I never finished.  The ratchet and 10mm is a regift from Mazdeuce.  You'll need a piece of metal to stick to whatever you want to use that magnetic mount with. I honestly don't remember what system that game is for because I don't have one either. The bulbs are also tailight/turn signal for an sn95 and roughly 48,324 other cars.

Glad to see I guessed my victim right.

Ps, I can't remember how old that popcorn is so I don't know if I'd eat it.

Goods from Vancouver. In what looks to be a recycled box (blacked-out shipping label says 4 Jan 2018 delivery).

Lets get this party started.

Now that she's open, lets get in out of the snow.

All manner of good stuff, and I haven't even started digging yet.

And here's the haul:

Frisbee golf disc, bigass VW emblem (van? never seen a logo this big on any of their cars), 4 heavy levelling table feet, 2 heim joints, a key marked "Rittal" (might also double as bottle opener), a fuel pressure regulator, a really heavy hand tool with serrated rollers on it (...?), Holly 650-850 carburetor rebuild parts, screwdriver and assorted tips, 3/4npt tap, sew-on patch that says "zero berks given", a really nice Winchester multitool (assume this is the result of good stalking, as my adress is Valley Falls, but Winchester is much closer), a set of funnels, what I THINK may be a piston ring clamp (?), a book on amateur radio operation from 1981, and an Irish Vintage mag from this summer. 

Thanks, Erick from Vancouver!

Also of note, it is a recycled box, from Jordan in Missiouri (who I think I traded my Jeep to years ago...).

In reply to Daylan C :

Dude, you're telling me that I have the mazdadeuce's 10mm?!? I'll have to frame it! The idler is totally the same, I recognized it right away, thanks! Great guesswork. The popcorn will be regifted next year. 

In reply to JohnInKansas :

Bravo on the box opening.

Bwahahahahaaa!! 

I fills me with much joy to see that so many of you are opening your boxes in creative and breathtakingly stupid ways. I'm glad to have left this impression on this annual game.

That's Demolition Herby for the Atari 2600! It's a rare one too!

I still have no idea if my box showed up   I also don't have one to open yet either.  We did just get 6 inches of snow though, and apparently my mail person didn't deliver my mail because the berm left by the plow truck.
