I am here in Spokane now. the drive was nice, lots of fun passing people going 35 on I-90. Made it from Richland to Spokane in 3 hours, not too bad considering the big backup by the airport due to nerds in the ditches.

Maple St sucked though, the snow is so deep in spots I was hitting chunks of ice on my underside.

Damn man, there is over a foot of snow up here from last night, on top of the 2-3 feet alreay here. I might not make it out of the drive!

We have a long day of playing Risk and eating and watching football today, tomorrow the plan is to hit shopping, so that may work. I will probably drop off my wife at the mall and then we could meetup. Let me get a plan together here and will let you know later tonight when I am available, you can tell me where. I am up north on green bluff. Up five mile road.

Default Mathews Auto Body in Kennewick, $300

they did a fantastic job for $75 a rim. I am gonna take my other 4 rims in there in Late Feb. If you are interested maybe we can do a batch deal. Its not exactly close to you though, but if the price is good it may be worth the drive. They turned it around in 3 days as well.

Default I need two rims fixed.

Did not see a damn median strip in this snow and nailed my left rim. Can this person fix them as well?

Default I was thinking that, but

I heard about the trim being difficult at best to swap, and chances are it is a one time only installation. i am not looking to have some custom work every spring and fall to swap, so will just do all black. I personally like it anyways, sprint blue with silver is fairly common, in terms of an RS4. I mean there are ~2500 RS4's in the US, and of that about 250 are Sprint Blue. only a few dozen of those are Ti package. I am hoping this black look is super unique. Will do the grill trim and window trim, audi rings and V8 emblems black, the mirrors sprint blue. Should look pretty sick. Then next step: Clear corners, short shifter and Euro Wheel, paint summer rims black.
