Talking Have you ever ordered so much stuff...

You don't even know what the hell is on the door when you get home?

Have you ever looked up tracking numbers and forgot what the hell you ordered?

Ever look at all your parts that need installing and think "okay, so do I install now or order more stuff"

Well the mod bug has bit me, rather chomped on my butt. THough it does feel good.

lol...I hate to admit it but it has happened to me a few times. I also deal with a lot of electronics and computer stuff in addition to cars. More often times I don't forget what I ordered, but I order so many things at once. When I get a package I wonder which of the things it is that I ordered. I shake it a bit, if it's in foam/paper/plastic thin packaging then I feel the shape to try to guess what it is. Then I open it and find out if I was right or not lol!

But, there have been a few times where the item took a bit longer than expected to arrive that I completely forget about it. You know those that come from overseas with bad english handwriting on it, shoddy packaging, or box almost falling apart. The box shows up and I'm just thinking WTF is that?!? I hope it's not a bomb or something lol. Then with all odds and in the face of death, I end up opening it anyways...and "da hell, it took this long to get here" or "oh crap when did I order this"

In fact this just happened to me today. I had a box at the door, I looked at the shipping label and didn't recognize the name of the company. I opened the box and there was my 6ft of AN-10 high pressure stainless steel braided oil hose with AN fittings. I completely forgot I ordered it lol!

It's a nice surprise at the end of the day to have a mystery box waiting for you. Makes the day a bit more interesting/fun

Between modifying the boat and the car, I don't want to see another box for at least a year...

box being delivered = less $$ in the bank

LOL!

Never quite forgotten what was coming but I had a bunch of stuff sitting around here by the time I found my GS, I wasn't quite sure what to do first. Actually I can't say that, I was switching all the interior lights to LED's within 10 minutes of getting it home. I just got another $100 in detailing supplies in the last 2 days, I think I'm pretty much done modding the GS for a while and it's kind of a letdown.
