          I got in contact with the guy that runs the mobile wheel service at International auto. He has some finishes that he thinks will work. I want to get all 4 done, so matching is not an issue. I also go a hold of HRE. Not only are the prices over the top, but they don't offer any sort of black chrome anymore, not even poweder, and they won't repair a wheel. Any lip that has even the slightest damage is replaced. After adding up all the costs, I could buy a new set of HRE's.

          That's good to hear. They are obviously far from damaged beyond repair. I am looking forward to watching your progress.

            Sounds like i've bumped into another fellow engineer on the forum here. So you do consulting?

            I work as a Mechanical Designer, the company I work for does design Consulting (AKA, create mechanical packages on how to make stuff) we do a lot of work with point of purchase companies.

              I'm going to school at Marquette this fall for mechanical engineering. I'm excited! Where did you guys go?

                I went no where. I'm a mechanical Designer, not an Engineer. Basically I know everything you are learning, but I don't have a REALLY expensive peice of paper saying I do.

                      How did you get a job as a mechanical designer though? And how did you like MSOE? I haven't toured there or anything. I just have a trustee that is hooking me up a Marquette.

                        Long story, lots of 'right place, right time' situations.

                        Marquette is pretty awesome too, just hella expensive.

                          Right place and right time can get you real far if you're good at it :)

                            That's for damn sure. I'm just trying to keep luck out of it haha. Just spilled water on my MBP today.... Almost cried. And then I dropped my sisters iPad(didn't break), and then broke the back of my iPhone. Great day! Sorry to derail your thread..

                                Every thread here on WIBIMMERS gets de-railed and I dont feel bad about it because its still a small site :P so with that said I will answer this in REKIII's build thread>

                                Everyone at MSOE felt like they were getting ripped off and that they should have gone to UWM to save money. I partly agree, but the small class sizes were a big help since I was a homeowner, husband, father, and working for portions of my schooling and I didn't get many chances to join in on study groups. Lots of people I know bailed and went to cheaper easier schools, some even bailed on school altogether. I cant speak for anyone but myself, but I haven't had any issue finding employment as an MSOE grad.

                                  Yeah no worries on derailing my threads. This one was supposed to be about the economic impact of the dung beetle in Togo.

                                    I could see how you were building up to that with the pictures of the M5 in the first post.

                                    You should take great joy in knowing that your car could slaughter mine in a race in 6th gear from a stop with the e-brake on.
