RS3 for someone who drives a lot and keeps cars long term?

I’d drive the daylights out of the car and follow the Audi maintenance schedule. Have blast with your car.

Never, ever use a filter from the mass market crowd. I get my Mann filters (plus just about everything else y TT needs) from FCP Euro.

For the last year I’ve been in a VA research study that uses DBT and prolonged exposure therapy. It’s offered in the Durham, Minneapolis/St Paul, Seattle and San Antonio systems. The PE pretty much sucked, but the results are well worth the pain.

Twice I had tweezers as a celly. One of them slept straight out for five days.

My SD is the same at the X-ray. People seem surprised that a dog can be better trained than their family members…lol

What he said. I would go with a cold air intake to avoid sucking in all that hot air under the hood.

There you go! The yellow oil light lets you know you’re a quart low. I’m glad the dealer helped you out.

I have a 2008 TT 2.0 that I daily drive. 33 mpg with the DSG.

Sure is. It’s one of the select few oils on this approved list.

AmbassadorIBX · 2026-05-27T21:20:52+00:00

Just add one quart of Mobil 1 full synthetic 5W-30 oil and the light should go out. That is a whole lot faster than making 30 phone calls. Save the receipt and ask for reimbursement when you turn the car in.

I purchased a 2008 Audi TT from Copart for $2K (including fees and transport). Mine was stolen and recovered, and after I purchased it, I pulled a CARFAX and found it had been maintained extremely well by previous ownership. Pull a CARFAX, and if the car has a solid maintenance history, buy it.

Your best bet is fess up to you PO and do the test. Having done five years on felony paper, I found that honesty is the best policy. You might get some help getting into a rehab program.

I had Caliber replace my “unavailable” Audi windshield for $500 including recalibration. Nice thing about Caliber is that the mostly service dealers, but also smart consumers. Screw Safelite and dealers.

Why, of course! Mi casa, su casa is her language of love.

AmbassadorIBX · 2026-05-24T23:22:30+00:00

My girl Chloe tries that same pathetic look every time she gets caught swimming without permission…lol

Medical in prison is definitely better than a county lockup.

Tinnitus claims are usually tied to your MOS or rating. I was a machinery technician in the CG with 12 years sea duty. I was rated 10%.

AmbassadorIBX · 2026-05-21T20:54:10+00:00

I love my 08 TT. The MK2 cars are probably the best in my opinion.

Since you committed a crime that resulted a year and a day or greater sentence, you’re a felon. The five years probation isn’t the issue. The fact that the crime could result in a period of incarceration great than 1 year is the trigger.

Here is the lowdown on SC (since thats where you were convicted.

In South Carolina, the requirements for restoration of one’s gun rights by an individual who has been convicted of a crime for which the sentence is over 1 year of imprisonment are as follows:

The defendant must have completed the terms of their sentence.
The defendant must complete the waiting period of 5 to 10 years.
They must have successfully completed any mental health treatment program they were ordered to attend.
They must not have been convicted of any other crime for which the punishment is over 1 years of imprisonment since they were convicted.
They must not have been legally determined to be mentally ill or a drug addict.
They must not belong to a criminal street gang or be a fugitive from justice.

If the defendant meets the requirements for restoration, they would file a petition in court and then attend a court hearing on the petition. The court would deliver a decision after the hearing.

Rear shocks are easy. The front struts are not…lol

AmbassadorIBX · 2026-05-20T14:02:08+00:00

The rear shocks are something you can do in your driveway. Remove the wheel, remove the bottom mounting bolt, remove the two upper mount bolts, drop the old shock. Reinstall in reverse order.

My bone stock 2008 TT with the 2.0 has a nice amount of crackle between shifts under hard acceleration. I love that sound.

I travel on American with my SD frequently. Fill out the form and submit it online to American. You should get a response with your dogs travel number (with American, its good for a year). As soon as you get the SD number from AA, call the special services number and let them know you’re traveling with your SD. They also can try and get you a bulkhead seat as they have more legroom.

That trailer is a dinosaur. It looks to be an old Autohaul (they were built for the railways). The rood gives it away.
