do they have paint that would work for my mirror painting job? Whats a mis tint?
so what exactly happened to the wheels?
The snapped axle's gonna be a pain to take care of, it took almost 2 days for me to get my tib back after i had the same problem.

Well check this out.
Saturday, 74 degrees, not a cloud.
Sunday Morning, 68 degrees, had steak and eggs for breakfast on my balcony. Beautiful day, 3 small clouds in the sky.
Sunday afternoon, light rain and drizzle.
Monday morning, light drizzle, 56 degrees.
Monday, 8:20. I get the wheelchair out of the car and it's snowing lightly.
Monday, 10:20. Put the wheelchair back in the car, get out of schools parking lot, no snow.
Monday, 12:00. 33 Degrees outside, no precip.
Monday, 15:00. Open the blinds to the back porch so I can look outside before I go to pick up my son from school.
4 inches of snow STICKING.
Monday 18:47. Still snowing, 6 inches sticking to the ground. TMobile call center closed at 16:00, took 45 minutes to drive 5 miles round trip to pick up Lizgiggles from work.
Keep in mind.
This is Albuquerque New Mexico. As in DESSERT.
LOL
This is also MARCH 14TH. WTF?!?!?

**UPDATE**
I got my shark back today. She seems like she is handling decent; nothing that an alignment wont fix. I'll pick up my new wheels and tires on Monday and then run it over for an alignment. Everything fell under the deductible, thank heavens, so I decided to live with the small paint spiderweb on the front bumper.
I picked up some cheap ghey-arse shift knob at Pep-Boys to hold me over till I can get one that fits the threads. I'm still gonna have to buy a new radio/cd's/tools because the adjuster said the cd's and tools aren't covered since I don't work as a DJ nor an Electrician/Mechanic. The stereo and shift knob will not exceed the deductible for the theft claim either; so now I'm out near $1000 and I have 2 brand spankin new claims on my insurance. Fires me up badly. If I knew the claims would still be registered even though I didn't exceed the deductible for either claim, I never would have filed 'em.
New Wheels (Gun Metal)
They are putting some cheap Khumo spin off tires on em but I can't complain. I actually like the compound better on the ones they sell with the wheel/tire sets. The roads here in Louisville and Southern Indiana are the most horrid I have ever driven on so the harder compound is a bonus IMO.
