As someone that grew up in South Florida during the Sixties and Seventies I can tell you from first hand experience that
this my friends is none other than the elusive Square Grouper thought to be a myth.
I recognize the familiar black plastic wrapping and the lack of US Customs documentation.

Oh hell that's easy. It's a box of MSD coils for the next group buy.

Sorry I couldn't help myself.

That could also be what everyone has been referring to as the "air-sucky thing" Rockets need to "suck" alot of air right? But there is a problem with that method. Isn't using rocket power technically cheating?? I'm sure the haters and doubters will have something to say about that.
