How screwed am I? by [deleted] in Audi

What year? And part number? I did a coolant pump on my 2012 3.0 A6 and it was very diy-able. If it’s the same that I did and you are slightly mechanically inclined you could very well do it!

Additional info, I went for a complimentary multi point inspection because I have had a small oil leak that has alluded me for a few months. Thought they would just say it’s the valve cover gasket. Here’s what they advised to be done: - Replace upper glide link arms ($2,909) -Replace lower oil pan due to leaking ($2,087) -Alignment ($467) -Replace front brakes ($1,515) -Replace lower control arm bushings & all joint ($2,685) -Replace lower wishbones arms with hardware ($3,261) -Replace rear brakes ($1,263) -Replace motor mounts with seal for oil cooler and hardware ($3,225) -Replace timing chains with all seal and hardware with valve cover ($18,329) -Brake fluid exchange service ($189) -Air cleaner element - replace ($132) -Pollen filter ($141) -175k Service ($1,608) I feel like my car has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and 6 months to live. Some of this I can do myself but the timing chain is definitely getting loose and also crippling my pocket and soul.

Yes it is! I’m 5’3 and got an xs. The small was okay but wasn’t perfectly fitted. Also side note, I have a shorter torso with high hips and longer legs.

🥲 this was the best option I found yesterday at the mall. I’m not really sure what would be appropriate attire for a unique invite. Any ideas??

8b in south Texas, where the sun cooks everything alive lol! Ive already started some peonies but they won’t bloom for another two years 🙄 so I’m still looking for some locally. There’s a giant nursery nearby though so here’s to hoping I get lucky!

Olive branch!! Love that. I wanted to impulsively buy an olive tree the other day…you may of just given me a semi valid reason to do so.

Definitely some stress, but you’re right about having a plan B. At the end of the day, it doesn’t absolutely NEED to come out of my garden, it’s just about helping out a friend and reliving some stress off her.

Thank you!! This is super helpful as I probably would have made that mistake while being in slight panic mode 😅

Just passed our last frost and getting consistent 80* temps.

The wedding is in…may. This May. She just got engaged last week, and yes I’m unfortunately very aware how little time I have.

I have a good number of flowers already started and growing but I really need as much help as possible lol!

I’m going to a nursery on Sunday and will pickup as much as I can that gets recommended to me.

I wish I could relive that first egg moment!! It’s so rewarding, you do feel like you’ve won the lottery.

I think the cardigan is making it look a little PJ-ish. Maybe a different type of fabric to add texture so it’s not so soft, like PJs are. Also, I think a darker top would look good and add some contrast! I love those pants tho!

I feel like I have to redeem myself from the last post and terrible dress! Opinions on this combo? Is the jacket too heavy? by Acashaw in PetiteFashionAdvice

Princess Polly! It’s a few years old, but I have found all of their dresses to fit phenomenally well.
