If you thought that picture of Nish at Rao's was funny, wait until you see the one of him manning the snow blower this winter while his $600 door sills are being installed.

Gotta work to stay at Stumble's abode, so that he can get his 550 out of the driveway.

Remember it's winter and weather could be a factor in getting to or leaving Denver. Of course Stumblefoot would put you up for a week or two if you got snowed in...
NJ - I was just kidding. Plus you see how hospitable Stumble is.

135 is 2hr and 15 minutes. I think you hammered them down from their earlier quote. Well done!!!
What price for the sills?
I saw this quote: B6-6-89-0109 -0110 -0111 -0141 -0142 -0143 Illuminated Door Sills
$430.00US sell at $389.62US at http://mercedes.dealerfit.com/.
Enjoy the glow!

Nice job Chicky! You just saved yourself over 30% off the original quote.
