Oh someone's gonna get stiffed alright..  ... wait this isn't /m4m, poo poo. Serious talk, between some post history and asking a local goon about suggestions for someone who has my santee's vehicles (said goon also has one of them), I have a pretty good list.. of both useful and comical (and a little foodical). Just gotta wait for payday.

Time to test if a medium flat rate box can really hold up to the claimed 70 pounds.

the burst rating on a cardboard box is not the same thing as how much weight it can hold, it's a very specific measurement that isn't especially useful. That said, if you completely encase a flat rate box in good packaging tape, you massively increase its strength. I have used this fact to my advantage many times.

Part one ordered. Ordering part 2 after my next paycheck gets in, then to abscond with as much junk as possible to stuff the box. Heres to hoping this time I remember a letter.

I got sniped on an auction for one of my gift ideas, and I wouldn’t at all be surprised to learn it was sniped by someone in AI lol Back to the drawing board on that idea I suppose.

My Santa, Brigdh, was on it this year! Looks like I was the first to receive my gift! A nondescript USPS box arrived at work:  "I don't remember ordering anything that would come USPS, wonder what it is??" In my mind it was way too early for AISS.  Wow this got here fast!  I love a good letter, especially one that reaffirms why I'll never buy a VAG product.  Cones and hat (thankfully adjustable, my head is huge), with letter for scale. I think most lemons teams will drive right over these cones, but I definitely can see a few uses for them. Also, bonus unmentioned Hella H7 Extreme Yellow Xenons (OFF-ROAD USE ONLY!). Pretty sure these will fit my 540 too, if they work.  Stickers! The only one of these I already have is the GRM, so these are great! These will definitely bump up the Camaro's LT1 into LS1 power territory, if not higher.  Automobile and Roundel magazines, taking advantage of the flat-rate boxes! I haven't read many car magazines lately, so I'll check these out. I can use the Roundel one to see how "real" bmw owners live, with their bmw accessories and all-dealer maintenance/service packages.  Ninja levers! These seem a decent quality aluminum casting. Not sure what I'll do with them, but they're neat, I want to do something.  Rubber grip with Specialized cap inserted, because why not?  VAG coils in their natural state of being broken. Wonder what's broken in them and if I can re-purpose them for anything else? This was a great and entertaining AISS haul, thanks so much Brigdh!

Goddamn, I haven't even finished shopping! One part of the gift I'm sending has shown up so far, but those pics give me some... ideas. e: I may have to send mine in two parts... the best part isn't expected to arrive until Dec 14th, according to ebay.

I'm glad it arrived in one piece. To be fair to everyone else, a lot of it happened to be stuff that I threw in a corner throughout the year as things I thought might be good for AISS.

Dear Santee, I just launched your gift across the pond. The lady at the post office says it'll probably take a little over two weeks. Also, I hope you have large hands.

Just ordered my Santee's stuff. I apologize in advance for not being very interesting. I don't have a lot of interesting junk lying around so I just found a few things I thought you'd like on Amazon and went with it. Maybe I'll be able to find something at work to throw in there too.

Not going to lie, I've been lazy as hell with this. Have found a thing or two around the office, know of a few broken things I'm sending but still need to dig through my Santee's post history a bit to fill in the gaps. It's on the list for this weekend

You probably already have some of it. I don't have any parts of it left to send to anyone. Should have kept the VIN tag off the dash and title as a gag gift, I guess
