VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Brent will pay!!! How is this for outstandingly overcomplicated for getting the wheels on: Step One - Drive car to train station to take the train two stops to the Hertz store, because they just moved and do not have home pick up yet. Pick up extended cab Chevy pickup I got with points. Step Two - Drive truck to my house to load up tires/wheels and deliver them to a NTB I found in the neighborhood. Step Three - Take truck to garage where car is and exchange so I can bring the car to the NTB for the work. Step Four - Take car home when done and get bike to ride back to train garage. Step Five - Throw bike in the back of the truck and head to NTB to get winter wheels and bring them to my house. Step Six - wake up Saturday morning to return truck and either train or Uber home to get my car so I can head out to AoA HQ for a luncheon and open house. 1 Quote
MexicanDragon Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Yeah, but it'll look hot at C&C. **BRENT** P.S., put a 2x4 under the close wheel and drive over it to lift the car enough to get the jack under. Quote
VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Yeah, I did that and it works fine. I am just sick of it and have to go to a board meeting so I stopped. I also want to get some locks and possible better looking lugs than the stock Audi ones so NTB will handle that for me. 1 Quote
Voltron Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Fucking Brent. Sorry for your grief and I'll defend you if you end up wiping out the Firestone shop and/or complaint department. 3 Quote
VPI Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Posted July 24, 2015 Let's see if Grahame's brilliant deductive powers can see the difference between this before and after. Before After 4 Quote
MexicanDragon Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Nice, Jeff! When are you trading it for the 911? **BRENT** Edit: do the lugs have room for some 5-10mm spacers? Edited July 24, 2015 by MexicanDragon 2 Quote
Grahame Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Sunnier? , Lower Camera Viewpoint? Tint's ( as before) , New Wheels (possibly missing hub covers) Can't read the info on the rubber, to see if they are new Tires/Tyres . Do I get a prize? or should I just update my neural-net with a new test case? Quote
VPI Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Posted July 24, 2015 Damn, Grahame is a true expert. I will have to think up some kind of prize for your amazing abilities Grahame. Would need new lugs for spacers, but I think it is mostly strange shadows you are seeing as the tires are pretty much flush now. 10mm would have them outside of the body, not a look I am going for.

MexicanDragon Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 OK. Shadows then. Flush/barely tucked is what I'd want to strive for. If it's flush in person then even happier for you. Looks great. **BRENT** Quote
VPI Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Posted July 24, 2015 I will get the real pictures tonight after I give it a detail and can find a more picturesque location. 1 Quote
Dreadhead Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Flush/barely tucked is what I'd want to strive for. **BRENT** There is something for TICE in that one.... 1 Quote
n_maher Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 Nice shots as usual, Jeff. I'm going to try to make the C&C at the Larz Anderson Museum (near Boston) in August and maybe the German Car Day event in October. Long ago I used to go down to the European Motorcycle Day event and it was always a good time. 1 Quote
MexicanDragon Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 That Volvo wagon was hot. I need some of that in my life. **BRENT** Quote
VPI Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Posted July 26, 2015 Viper Green is an exclusive paint option along with a bright yellow and one other crazy color. There are very few out there. Quote
VPI Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Posted July 26, 2015 Pics from today's Bull Run. And of course, Audi break in ends as I drive into the parking lot. 2 Quote
MexicanDragon Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 Congrats on the break in! That GT3RS. Not my first color choice for that one, but the lust is so strong. **BRENT** Quote
