Sounds like both of you have nice lists!!! Chris, were the first two "From Santa?"

I got a craftsman creeper that converts to a stool, a 25-250 in-lbs torque wrench, MAC tools BFH (40 oz), movies (Hancock and Prince Caspian), clothes, and few other things here and there.

I see the bend in the rim as well. Looks like you need a NEW rim!!!

Hammer and dolly kit

Looks like everyone did well.

Went to the movies yesterday with about everyone else in the state. Uh if you have had a passing of a pet in the past couple years. Uh Marley and Me is a rough movie for the kids and wives. The xmas dinner afterwards felt more like a dinner after a funeral.
 
8:01 (7 hours to go) Were still only 12 out of 100 engineers and no management at all.

Looks like tonight would be a good cruise night if it doesn't rain. Supposed to be mid 50's tonight.

The twin carbon/carbon disk lightweight clutch and adjustable master cylinder should take of that. :leghump: :drool: (Finally figured out what was preventing the shift from happening).

Plus I have been practicing on my virtual shifting simulator. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I'm gonna try to get it fixed.

Anybody have any experience with getting a rim fixed? Jason said somethin about a place called Mr. Wheel.

I have used him before. They do nice work. Might be worth looking into what a new rim will cost since yours are chrome. I used them 8 years ago on a polished rim and it was $150 to have it fixed. Had the rim needed painted or plated it would have been much more.
 
would this Mr. Wheel be able to fill in a gouge on backside of a wheel? When I got those 15x10 prostars for the Cobra, I did not know they would not clear the rear calipers. I hopped in the car, pulled out of the garage, and found the smal pile of aluminum shavings on the ground.
 
If not steves got a number to a guy who does amazing work. He filled a hole on the outer dish and you couldn't even find it afterwards.

Roush wheels are not cheap, unless you can find one used. Looking at $500 each.

For that price you could buy a whole new set of knock-offs.
 
The gouge does not go all the way through the wheel. To me it is more of a balancing concern if a tire ever goes back on it.

If I ever have a need for a 5 on 4.5 pro star, I need to get that guys number.

Not sure...
 
Well 45 minutes to go and I am free. Well then I just recieved a email from the wife telling me to clean the kitchen. WTF, I leave early for what benefit. To go home and clean the kitchen. Whooopie

I'm planning on gettin the rim fixed. I just don't know when yet.

Roush rims definitely are not cheap! I don't know if I'm gonna keep the Roush rims or not?

I don't know if I wanna pay for a NEW rim. I know they wouldn't be cheap even if I got them used.
 
Good afternoon all.

Just got done taking the tint off the M45 because it's too dark (limo) and I couldn't see at night and one of the windows had a bad corner. I read on the internet you could use a clothes steamer to get the job done and since I already had one I gave it a try. It worked perfectly. All the tint AND glue came off seamlessly. The tint shop wanted to charge me $150 to remove it and I got it done in 30 minutes.

The M is going in to have the bumper replaced and some other cosmetic procedures on Monday. She will be getting a lighter tint that will be more bearable for night time driving but I did leave the dark tint on the 1/4 windows and back window.
