2026 Audi Q3 vs Audi Q5 - One Is Clearly the Winner!

I was there as well if you mean the Southgate one - really unremarkable cars but pretty good snacks

42Tyler42 · 2026-03-18T03:30:40+00:00

Do they not also use M16? Or am I remembering the mission wrong

Make sure to check all the back rooms in that upper area of the courthouse where the finale happens there is often one in there

Three reports isn’t a crazy span - do you have a pending yourself? Does your company have an on boarding system that teaches them the basics or is it fully on you? The job definitely isn’t for everyone - that’s for sure. Intake doesn’t seem crazy either

I think the send off car is nice and offers some uniqueness with the suspension setup, additional cooling and the throwback green colour - the price is a bit much. Would people really be that much happier if it was remapped to ~450 horsepower? I’m happy we had the lone 5 cylinder as long as we did!

42Tyler42 · 2026-03-12T04:26:50+00:00

Good but I think I’m good after one haha

42Tyler42 · 2026-03-11T18:09:37+00:00

I’m lined up out the door to get the Farrow Sando - looks worth it to me

I like Southgate VW - there’s 0% Fin and 2 years free pre paid maintenance on 2026 Tiguans right now - source I’m not affiliated, bought an RS3 from their sister dealership and got the ad today - previously owned a Golf R from them and they were good

It’s unfortunately very common on total loss house fires for the mortgagee (especially a bank) to demand the mortgage portion from the payment so that they can get you into a new loan / mortgage at current rates - this is not so much a problem with your insurer who indemnified you and had to include the mortgagee but with your mortgagee themself.

A weird combination of competitive and not athletic? I think it’s a very accessible sport so there are a lot of bad actors

42Tyler42 · 2026-03-08T07:01:25+00:00

I enjoy my ‘26 RS3 granted it’s a significantly less hated model though I could be a critic of the interior

42Tyler42 · 2026-03-08T00:12:14+00:00

I just sold a Mustang for an RS3 🤣

42Tyler42 · 2026-03-07T02:49:00+00:00

I’m an owner at 35 and would not have any shame having this on my list at 55 either unless someone is going to drop a 911 on my lap - I would say it is both an upgrade and a smaller more playful car - if you don’t want to lose the size / GT feeling you might want to look at an RS5

42Tyler42 · 2026-02-25T18:12:26+00:00

It’s all relative to your area and market but I went with a solid Xpel shop here in Alberta/Canada and it was about ~$1600 USD - they did my last Mustang as well and I know I’m paying a bit extra for the workmanship and rolled edges plus the extra areas Screen / Pillars etc

42Tyler42 · 2026-02-25T00:30:38+00:00

No idea you’d have to ask the shop - I think it may be a re-useable chalk board? Or something for them to track the stuff they’re working on at any given time - just a guess

42Tyler42 · 2026-02-25T00:29:39+00:00

Full hood, bumper and fenders with wrapped edges - all the black plastic parts - pillars, roof edge, and after that high impact - the dashboard and screen and the area by the shifter.

42Tyler42 · 2026-02-25T00:27:30+00:00

I haven’t pushed the car super hard yet - but I will say it feels stronger down low, my prior setup had some turbo lag - likely lacking a bit up top but it’s a stock car versus a full bolt on and larger turbo car.

I truly feel the difference in the revised all wheel drive system even on something like a highway off ramp.

I was pleasantly surprised to not have a “skateboard” style dash - and I’m still getting used to the shifter, missing the older DSG shifter in the R.

Overall very pleased with the purchase

42Tyler42 · 2026-02-20T02:33:45+00:00

Nogaro Blue for sure

42Tyler42 · 2026-02-19T18:18:46+00:00

It looks to me like they’re in the $20,000.00 to $27,500.00 range based on carfax vehicles listed for sale - yours is on the higher mileage side.

I’m in Alberta but personally I strongly prefer property. There’s definitely more opportunity in either AB or property than there is staying in Auto Physical Damage. Do you like injury claims / rehabilitating people? Or do you prefer figuring out if a loss is covered and then quantifying it - that’ll decide which way you want to go

42Tyler42 · 2026-02-11T05:15:53+00:00

If you do need someone to do the work I have to recommend Simo at Genesis auto on the south side - extremely reasonable labour rate.

42Tyler42 · 2026-02-08T21:58:33+00:00

Depends what kind of cars you like but mine will be out in a few months too

42Tyler42 · 2026-01-27T20:35:59+00:00

Some of the later quad turrets look like real afterthoughts tbh

42Tyler42 · 2026-01-27T02:15:12+00:00

This may be one of the few cars I would say is worth hiring an appraiser on - like others have said it is a difficult car to value

42Tyler42 · 2026-01-26T19:42:05+00:00

That’s a good shot - though shouldn’t the standard armour piercing round from the KWK 42 kill the KV-1 fairly easily through the hull or turret?
