Where'd you hear that? I'm obv showing at a VW/Audi show as there is no "other" class. I could park in exhibition if I wanted though or just spectator. I want the wheels on for rolling shots on the way down.

[JeffL]

from what I heard room is so limited only vw/audi allowed in exhibition area. Personally I'd rather see your car on your wheels than many of the vw's there. not a vw hater, I owned 16v gti's all through college and the first new car I ever bought was a GTI GLX VR6.

[windowsM]

Interesting.. I'm just going to look at cars and hang out with some VW friends.
I got my tires today. Still waiting on stupid TPMS. They better arrive in the next couple days. It's been 6 days and they're still in Montreal.

[JeffL]

what are they doing in canada? hopefully a good deal is causing this delay. Tirerack has em for pretty cheap.

[windowsM]

Yeah, I got them for $140 shipped. Saved a few $, but I didn't know Canada Post sucks and they're coming from St. John's, Newfoundland which is super far, even from here. It's Expedited USA shipping which guarantees 10 days, but the guy said it would be faster. I'll be pissed if they come Friday, but I'm off work so hopefully it works out.

[windowsM]

TFT denied mounting my tires, even though they admitted they used to mount stretch (they did my friend's 245 on a 19x10.5").
I've got word that Marc's Foreign Auto in Wakefield will hook it up though.

FINALLY. 2 days ago, and they update it today... never using CanadaPost again.

[MassBimmer]

Will they be here in time then?

[windowsM]

Dunno. They don't provide a delivery date lol
But I randomly met 'iferro' from BimmerForums at a party last night. He saw my car in the driveway and was like "where's Derek Zoolander?" He's setting me up with a guy to mount my tires

[MassBimmer]

LOL, I love it!

What are you going to do about the center caps btw? Will they be BMW? PorscheMW? Blank?

[windowsM]

I got OEM 993 caps, because it's an odd size. I could get a sticker made or something, but these should be fine.

[windowsM]

This is pretty funny. An E36 guy beat me to it by a week:

But his are 8"/11" and mine will be 10"/11". Also, his are painted white and pink. Fail.

WTF CanadaPost. Does this mean it was delivered or just passed into the USA?
2010/04/15 09:18 International shipment has arrived in the destination country

[MassBimmer]

Sounds like they're in the US!!

[windowsM]

I think they might be delivered:

2010/04/15 09:18 International shipment has arrived in the destination country
2010/04/12 20:47 International item has left Canada

I ordered something from CA a few months back and it was shipped CanadaPost, their tracking is 100% useless. Mine was a small package and it still took 5 days after "arriving in destination country" to get to me.

[windowsM]

Yeah, it's not here. CanadaPost sucks. Never ordering anything from that country again.
It should be in the hands of USPS though..

[windowsM]

Still not here. Day 5 w/o tracking update. Cool.

[windowsM]

This is getting ridiculous. I ordered Ray Bans from LA on Sunday that are getting here before the TPMS from Montreal. Day 16. 6 days w/o tracking update.
And I'm talking to myself in this boring thread.

[jopa489]

Call USPS and see what's up. Maybe they can give you more information over the phone than the website provides.

[windowsM]

I never got a USPS tracking # from CanadaPost. CanadaPost doesn't have any info other than what's in the tracking stack.

[MassBimmer]

Yikes, 2+ weeks is insane

[TL]

I guess there's always a price when you want to save a little money....
