PRIORITY BOX EXCHANGE -- 2016 SANTA EDITION

[1st 5er]

When does PBE '17 Edition begin?

[leadphut]

Received my box from Gary Collins on the 24th. Inside were some cool stickers, a billabong hat (my daughter claimed), some super yummy macadamia nut/cranberry cookies and super yummy fudge. The cookies didn't make it to Christmas. The fudge is quickly disappearing.


Not sure if you sell these treats in your store. If not, you should. We would buy more.

Thanks Gary!

Adrian from Florida packed a great box for me this year. The HSR shop banner, a NOW! Thats what I call music '99 Christmas mix CD case missing the CD, a Danica Patrick signed picture, a quartz clock, some massage oild and biofreeze stuff. BMW first aid kit, glow in the dark soft hockey puck. A '08 vintage at the vineyards glass keep sake/can coozie, a super bowl coin, some golf balls and divot tool, a over the door coat hook, some 74.1-72.56 hub centic rings, and what I think is a drink carrier. Some sharks that when wet grow to actual size, a racing dynamics center cap puller tool and a pocket knife.
Thanks man!

So i got a totally awesome box from "Below the Mason-Dixon Line."







After staring at it for a while I decided I was going to take the chance on opening it. I'm glad I did! Here's the haul:



Darth Maul, a needed calculator for the office, German interior electronics including two headlight switches, a hazard relay, check control panel and an early trip ECU.





An unopened box of Altoids, light bulb foam for a toolkit and a turn signal to I don't know what off the top of my head.



A Chipotle burrito squishey, matches, duct tape (needed!), gauze for when I open up a wound in the garage, mosquito net, and a Kant-Leak toilet wax ring (That'll get used too!).



And a set of grills for I don't know what but assume an E28 or E23.



Thanks to the mystery sender... whom I can only speculate is adrian in florida or 1st 5er. Who is my Santa?

[Nanajoth]

- And my favorite: A Notice of Violation for Speeding from the City & County of Denver. (Do I need to pay this for you?)

Thanks Travis and Merry Christmas!

Ha! You wanted a Toyota Title, so I sent you a "photo" copy of the rear registration.
And yeah, if you could go ahead and pay that, we can call it a down payment

Darth Maul, a needed calculator for the office, German interior electronics including two headlight switches, a hazard relay, check control panel and an early trip ECU.

One of those is a fog switch. "Nebel" is German for "Fog". I've the same switch in my e28.

George "geordi" did not disappoint, as usual! The PBE he sent me included included tons of useful things, including "The Duke", a jockstrap with rabbit fur over the groin piece and a nice little tail on the back. It will keep me warm during the cold winters up here, and properly supported. The steel flask will also assist in that department, filled with whiskey and always in my pocket, bolstering me with liquor-strength. I've already used the SOG necklace knife many times and don't know if I will ever take it off. The Bluetooth speaker, the phone charging unit and iPhone cable will take me to the next level of geek mobility that I dare any of you to challenge me. The 8' shotgun shell light string is that perfect touch for my hillbilly farmer tendencies, and will really dress up my headboard. The (3) car-themed t-shirts are sweet, with the 2xl's garments making a sweet outfit along with a belt on my girlfriend, or a comfy sleeping shirt for her. As you can imagine, those will also dress up the boudoir. Race track turn-themed socks will make me the envy of my neighbors as I rock them with loafers on my tractor. And the 2002 Hot Wheel car will be a great distraction from getting work done at my desk, as I play with it rather than running boring cost projections and the like. The buck-hunter ornament was promptly hung on the tree, and will remind me of my good friend George every year as I hang it. I believe I will fashion the Mario cart Happy Meal prize from McDonald's to be the same. The VW bus sticker will go on my toolbox, and remind me of how dumb I was for trading my pea-green pop-top Westfalia for a crotch rocket back in '96, every time I reach for a tool.

Thank you George! And thanks David for organizing once again! Happy Holidays!

[geordi]

Did my Salamander make it!?

You are a sick PBE'r:

Merry Christmas.
This effort finds me out in the garage listening to Evil Empire after the wife developed a severe UTI effectively cancelling my vacation and all of my S.C.C.C. tee times. Even worse is that I had to drive home. Landbruiser has No SMG and I'm not sure where cek's PBE WENT EITHER!! -he is going to get so bent.

[oldskool]

All is well
I found das Box and made S'mores.

Look in your toolkit under the foam bulb/fuse holder and see if the instruction booklet is still there.

Cek's box held a plethora of goodies, of which I think I'm going to describe in two different posts as George Mikxj. . S. And princess Leila. Sorry. Can't function. Snif

Thanks for the photo help good brother Charles. The nuns here will take fine care of you at bath time as they are aware of your chafing and have brought freshly ground myrrh.
It's been a really long, really good holiday, probably too good. My liver has left the building. . . thankyouverymuch.
My box from cek in Seattle included some books that I've been hesitant to buy for myself. Schweeet. The BMW Gold series covering all of 1981-87 and the one covering 1988-97. Rob Siegel's "Memoir of a Hack Mexhanic" too. Unbelievable. There was some book about Gossip Girls but I didn't see any tits. Checked twice even. No fap. There was a pic of cek himself, so a quick fap was had and I kept unloading, literally. There was a digital camera likely filled with animal husbandry and then I unpacked lots of strange stickers. Rainbow Farting Unicorn will go down in history 4evar.
An 80's car amplifier, wireless mouse, Server book, Barry Manilo cd (YESHHH!!), Halo people, x-box wall mount sensor, snap lights, a Kinect, top gear and BMW car magazines. . . -wait. I'm losing you. Back to the stuff you people can visit eBay with offers to purchase!
There were crazy metal zip ties that frightened me, a random bearing which has to be a driveline application, a metal adapter allowing you to install them there e46 M engines to e28 and some really big and heavy brake pads! No seriously, like 5lbs each! Maybe they are for a Harley, I don't know, I'm guessing Audi SUV. From there my list gets vague and handwriting got really bad. There was red juice all over my papers and Sean John shirt, so I suspecr that some kind of candy was involved. A check of outside trash can says it was taffy. Also someone peed in the garage. Not even in the utility sink either. Probably Leadphut. I cleaned it all up with the swell Sounders scarf that was included.
Thanks for all the loot Charlie and organizing the endevour Dave. We should do a swap for Valentinez too but that would be pretty gay. Oh look, a message from Kyle wanting to sign up already.

I thought the Barry Manilow CD would get more air time.

And you had told me that was the only Gossip Girls edition you didn't have!

You're going to hell for soiling that Sounders scarf.

Glad you enjoyed it. I had fun packing it.

[oldskool]

Barry Manilow singing Christmas was on rotation all night during the party. Countless people pointed out that he was Jewish and singing Christmas tunes.
Now I've just got to figure out to what and where those brake pads belong and what that bearing came from. It's keeping me up at night along with peeing from the 3 bottles of wine I had.
