friggin cool
I ordered a new set of floor mats awhile ago... well, as it turns out, the parts supplier was backordered and had to go straight to Porsche.
What ended up happening was that Porsche in Stuttgart sent the new floor mats directly to my house. Event he box is cool-looking  leave it to Porsche to make even the drivers of its nearly-forgotten 944 to feel special when they come home from work and see a box marked "Porsche Tequipment" waiting for them, shipped directly from Stuttgart.

That box is beat up but it was lucky to survive the B-17 bomber raids over Stuttgart, right?

the mauling was due to the tape that held the box closed. when you pulled the tape off, the color came with it

samarai-sword letter opener?!? BAH! Foolish amateur. I use a full-tang katana sword. Coincidentially, many of the parts that I order seem to have slash marks when I take them out of the box...
not really.
