Yea, I saw them in my car shopping. They look very nice. Alas, out of my price
range heh. I'm in more of the mid 2010s T&C price range (like $13k or so).

Wow, that's pretty scummy of the original mechanic. I'd be livid.

Those are pretty cool. Yea, that's pretty salty. Makes one glad for
warranties, hehe. Dealer pricing can be pretty nuts. The windshield cracked on
my 7, the dealer estimate was around four thousand. I ended up getting one from
Satelite, even had the special coating, for around $1000. I left a car wash
once and found the kid who released the brake must be Superman because he pulled
the release so hard it broke. I just sighed and told him not to worry about it.
Kid looked so relieved, he said he thought I'd yell and carry on lol. I guess
karma paid me back, because when I went to buy a new release lever it was only
$35. I was like wait... are you perhaps missing a zero?? I've never had such a
cheap part quote from BMW, lol

What, FidoNet? I just started poking around the messaging section of a BBS I
use :)
