Apparently I've lost my mind... please help.

A few months ago, someone PM'd me asking if I still had my State Farm "eyes" from the movie, Cars. I have one, it's in perfect shape and still has the original packaging.

I said I would send it to them and when they asked how much, I said, just pay it forward.

I SWEAR I mailed it to that person and I just happened to go in my back office and lo and behold, there is a windshield sun screen with a set of eyes on it.

I guess I'm going to have to rely on some honesty from our mini community hoping someone will come forward and tell me who it was.

I've deleted my PM's since then and hopefullyl will recognize their screenname.

Would an honest person come forward?

If I get more than one "honest" person, then I'll give it to neither and find someone.

I'm embarassed I never sent it apparently, so please help.

Thanks,

Mark







PS. Mods, excuse this post in two forums, I wasn't sure which generation the owner was from so hopefully you'll allow it to stay in both until I find the rightful owner.

PSS. DO NOT PM ME... if you are the rightful owner, reply here.

Hi Mark,

That was me.

I saw that you were experiencing some dark moments and thought it best not to bother you.

I'll send you a pm.

Thanks,

...Les

P.s.

I, too, deleted my pms. But if I recall it was sometime around either holidays or the beginning of the year.
I figured your shop was getting busy but that you would get around to it eventually. And then the latest issue
cropped up and there was no way I was going to ask you about it.

oops.....I already pm'd....sorry.....didn't want o advertise my home address here.

Also, I mentioned that i agreed with you about paying stuff forward.

Les,

Thanks... I remember your screenname now. I’m terribly sorry for getting old....

I will package it up and mail it out this coming week. I just got home a few minutes ago and it’s been a long day.

Glad y'all found each other. I found this thread while looking for a MINI parking sign. Think this may be where it started .

Thanks Mark. Send it when you get time.

I've decided that I'm not getting older. Just my kids are.

My grandson (18 months old) is a huge Cars fan. That's what initiated my search in the first place. And I believe it was indeed that link above that lead me to your "eyes".
