I beat you to the punch on that in 2021 so Indy Guy wouldn't chainsaw my box open
just like that girl i met on the boardwalk in ocean city md in 1983 told me, "you can't be first, but you could be next."

Man I still have no idea which one of you maniacs sent this one, along with the excellent graphics! Someone ready to fess up?? And also tell me if that orange motor will move mountains or what

i passed on that opportunity, which was a difficult choice for 16-year-old me to make. i never regretted it.

It was me!
sorry I've only been able to keep up with this thread in fits and spurts.
my 10yo son did all the box decorating. He loves rat fink and paint markers.
i did try to do some sleuthing but i ended up having to make a guess that it was you, but it was educated and i also seem to have gotten a bit lucky as well. That model was 3d printed by me, but i just found a model someone else online made. Hope it's fun to put together!
the orange motor is shiny garbage. It's an aftermarket starter from a Chinese gy6 150cc scooter engine, and while it still works somewhat, it has lost a winding or something and draws too much current while simultaneously not having as much torque as it should. The stator is from the same engine I think, in the bucket of "very cheap parts that look ok but no longer are".

What in the WORLD is sitting on the front porch!?
Guess I'd better open it up and find out!
okay, okay, some stickers... sounds good, what else?
WUUUT!!!! How cool! You're kidding me, someone did some sleuthing! How stinking cool!!!
Okay, let's keep looking. What else is there in here?
HA! I have no words! Fantastic-- haha well, SOME of it!
I guess I need to buy a 2007 Mitsubishi and some kind of motorbike?? And this motor - powerwheels upgrade?!
Also, the pliers are a bit of a joke. When the handles are closed, the teeth don't actually touch. Very frustrating if you do try to use them, I suggest you do not haha.
finally, those are the absolute cheapest pair of sway bay end links I could find with the ball joints at either end. It was for a challenge project years ago and I forgot what I was planning to build with them.
edit, and there should have been a bag with a 10mm and 8mm socket, but if that got stolen by the mail carrier I wouldn't be surprised.

Solid decision-making skills. Apparently automotive issues did not stem from teenage years!
Damn the torpedoes!!! Sorry for the delay to my two victims out east.
I got a box, I got a box! First-time receiver here, second time sender due to berkeleyups.
Imagine my thrills when I arrived home and under SWMBO daily delivery pile was this beauty. Unboxing at 11 (or sooner).
In reply to Robbie (Forum Supporter) :
Ha! I noticed that about the pliers already! And from RadioShack, no less!
I did get that bag, too- no theft this time!
And tell your son he did a great job on the drawings :)
My outgoing box is complete, as of 9:15PM. I will ship it tomorrow, then post pix of my goodies from out west.
minor confession: I didn't feel like going to post office this AM, so I opened my inbound box and reused it.

Yep. I took pix of all the artwork on the outer box. I appreciate those details!
