WOW.

So what's the deal? They're in for service? Personal collection?

What does THAT place charge per wheel?

850hp twin turbo. The owner "claims" that it is one of 2 converted racecars that BMW made road legal. But who knows.

$20/wheel I think. They're real nice people, lots of fun to hang out there.

Huh. Must be a fun place to work.

Hey, I told Alex about the place.

Only problem with the shop, is there is no such thing as a quick trip in and out. It ALWAYS takes a half day or more. Of course, while it is happening you love it.

Actually, you "referred" me. Which is the only way they'll take on new BMW business. As he owner told me, once every a-hole and his brother started buying them they weren't worth doing business with.
