I know this is stupid, but I need to spend $3.75.
I built a small order at Pelican and they say $3.75 more for free shipping. I can't think of anything I need. I suppose I can always buy another oil filter, but I thought your suggestions might come up with something cool.

BTW, this is highly technical stuff, so don't move it.

I need 6 manifold to head intake gaskets. I'd be happy to pay you for the gaskets and shipping to me if it saves you a few bucks.

Man, you can ALWAYS use more aluminum crush washers or CV joint gaskets.

How about a T-shirt, poster, book?
Maybe some ATE blue? the rubber hoses for the heater The "L" or "T" valves for the windshield washer fuses? relays?

Spare bulbs? Everything from headlights to dash? They all need replacing sooner or later. (edit) That would run more...but you can start with the ones a cop might pull you over for if non functioning. "The reason I stopped you Millner, is that the license plate light is out..."

Well, I'm not so much for the stick pin or tie pin, but if that's the best cool thing we can think of (other than a cool collar, I mean how much cooler can you get?).... |

OK, OK, I ordered some spark plugs. I looked on the shelf and in the car and I had everything else suggested as a practical item. So, I dropped another dime on our host.

How about a nice key blank.
At $13.75, it's a little more expensive but nice to have an original spare. |
