Best day of my life....

Well, low and behold a UPS man knocks on my door. Drops off the package and heads back to his truck.

"WTF???? I'm not expecting a package" I think to myself....

Kinda heavy, small box, about the size of say a box of something a digital camera would come in, about 12x12x12...

I open it and low and behold.....there are a pair of these sitting in there:



I got sent a pair of Porsche calipers that I didn't buy! Those aren't an actual pic, but those are it...There was no return address on the UPS box, and I have NO FREAKING CLUE where these came from. I have been meaning to purchase a set, but have had no money to buy them....I figured if I sold my car, I'de find SOMEWHERE to get these from, as they're not that hard an item to find....

But WTF....it's not everyday you get a box with two Porsche calipers sitting in it......

Whoever sent me these...a big thank you goes out to you....I wish you woulda sent me rotors and pads too

Tell me about it...my GF starts yelling at me cause she was pissed I "bought" more Porsche stuff......

She doesn't believe me that I didn't buy them and that they just showed up(I can hardly believe it either.....she's still looking over past card statements to "prove me wrong"....I have no idea where these came from....

HugoVW1976 (Hugo) is supposed to be sending me some calipers to repackage and send down to him. He didn't send them to you by accident did he?
