well that's the M of course so it won't look exactly like that but something along those lines is what I want, which that looks like the Vorsteiner trunk on that one so it would be close once I am done.

I think you should just get LM's again. Unless of course those are 1/3 the cost, then you should go for those.

this is my job, what I get paid to do

customer places an order to on 6/23

the order is placed with a company that SUCKS

customer keeps forgetting this FACT

reality dictates the order should have went out the door in 24 hours.

SUCK company does not operate that way.

7/3 customer calls asking where their order is

answer: I honestly cannot tell you because SUCK company cannot tell me

7/7 customer calls again asking same question: where's my order?

answer: "sigh" I'll ask

24 hrs later I get the response I knew I'd get which was soon

today the customer gets smart and asks to just cancel the order, but they forget that they placed it with company SUCK who ( ) responds almost immediately to request to cancel the order with some lame ass excuse about how the order is too far gone to stop YET THEY STILL CAN'T TELL ME WHEN IT WILL GO - just that it is too late to cancel


total BULLSHIT every fvking day.

I have a similar situation in my world with my IT dept.
Client and/or higerups ask me when something will be done.
I ask IT
They either don't respond at all, OR they say they will work on it, or it will be ready on X.
I tell client/boss
X rolls around, nothing has been done.
I get asked, then I ask, then repeat cycle.
So the thing that they tell me will only take about 20 minutes to do, doesn't get done for MONTHS, if even at all.
Meanwhile, I look like a total jackass because my projects fail, or the tasks don't get done, and it totally has nothing to do with me.
####ing makes me mental, and for some reason IT has this strange bubble of immunity where they are totally immune to any discipline or performance evaluations/expectations.

in my case it is not just the manufacturers we represent though - the customers are to blame at times as well.


They keep shooting themselves in the foot and think we can get them out of it and we can't so we just end up getting the blame for it.

LMs are a dime a dozen on 3 series though, I want to go a different route with it. I usually don't like having the same set of wheels twice either.
