Nice pic, Bert. I feel your pain! :(

Interesting idea pulling the handle through the cardboard box. Did you do that? Those boxes can be a PIA to carry.

1981 450/12. But it won't be a 450/12 for long...

a hint... I'm getting a part from the Fonz, cause he never uses it.

Hmmm...something that you don't know for sure in a box hey?

This is a perfect opportunity for you to conduct "Schrödinger's cat" experiment and see what happens.

Are you sure that isn't "The Obelisk" from Led Zeppelin's "Presence" album? :)

It is a neat photo. Give the sense of "what's next?" or "what's in the box?"

Did you really take the pic first then open the box. I would not have had the patience.

I had to wait for the box to warm up a bit so I had plenty of time for this!

Goes back nearly another two decades, to the Monolith from Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Jeff, was your box attacked and carried away by bone-tossing apelike hominids?

Mine was delivered by one--ten days late. He worked for DHL.

Man I detest that company...
