Played tag for a few miles this afternoon with an Audi S5. Beautiful car, and while we were clearly having fun, neither of us did anything stupid. We parted at my off-ramp with a friendly smile and nod of respect.
That's the way it should be. Too often, I find myself expecting that nod, only to discover the other driver is deep in road rage. That's uncool.

DC drivers are very polarizing, either they are super passive or incredible *******s. However since they are usually fed employees or IT geeks, nothing ever escalates, I'm not really an intimidating guy, but I've gotten pretty good at the back-and-forth that's customary where I'm from (NY), and 99% of the time, these aggressive drivers turn into puppy dogs when you show them you're not one of them. It's a perk
Fitment, wheels, rotors and calipers... I'd say you've arrived.
Very well done, sir. I bet it feels good.
Thank you very much. I'm very happy with how things turned out. To me, it all looks well integrated. I guess OEM has a lot to recommend it.
Now I just need to get another job so I can use these wheels as winters and get some sexy summer ones with some PSSs. I got RIFd (reduction in force) on Thursday. Oh well...first-world problem.
I think I remember now that you were going w/ 180, what a nice job they did
How long was the turnaround on the paint work?
They got my calipers on a Thursday and the following Tuesday they were on my doorstep. I'm on the East Coast, though. Not sure if that makes a diff in return shipping....

My sympathies. On the bright side of gloomy, you still have a car purchased and modified based on enthusiasm instead of necessity. And now that you are probably entering a freeze on financially frivolous mods, your car is looking and running in a rather spectacular way...

amirite?
You are absolutely right!! Thank you very much. Things are great on this end. I love my G and I'm thinking ROAD TRIP after the holidays since I'll have the time.
Also have to decide if I want to do IT software dev for the rest of my career. Might be time to try something completely different. 20+ years of it can rub the luster off.

If you work in the energy field I feel your pain. I've had tons of coworkers laid off and oil companies everywhere are giving people the boot. Hopefully it turns around soon and I don't care if that means you guys have to pay more at the pump because of it. LOL.
