:roll:

It's just the index finger and it is surprisingly helpful to have a pry tool on hand at all times. Drives me nuts for the week or two for it to grow back after it breaks.

I did try the long painted nails thing in my punk days, but as typing is the core of my livelihood that didn't last more than a day.

If I remember correctly these are wider than the base 18s and I need to add the wheel arch extensions as well.

No idea why frunk tries to emulate me. He just doesn't have a good eye for where to gold plate and where not to.

Damn. The initial appraisal came in significantly higher than expected at $6578.11. I know that is going up off the cuff as they are quoting using some reconditioned parts which I know Chris will tell them to get stuffed over and I need to go argue with them over trying to replace only 1 tire on an AWD system where the MFG says all 4 need to be replaced.

WOWZA! Doesn't the all four requirement depend on the difference in diameter between the old tires and the new one?(i.e. amount of thread wear)
