Open the box immediately and run upstairs to grab your garage key making car noises... just curious. I caught myself doing this the other day and wondered how excited other members get when getting some mail!

I usually run to the garage first with the package as if it were illegal and shut and lock the doors behind me and open it and stare at it then start installing lol

Make this part for your SC appear so we don't have to move this completely-up-to-this-point non-SC related thread elsewhere.

I stare and admire the machining. Shininess. Smoothness. Then I imagine a waterfall of money...
