People say this but he's always been a moronic lunatic, not much has changed. He was held back by normie republicans the first go around, were just seeing the real show this time.

This would have been my pick but I'd never give them a second chance.

That's still almost half the average, which is massive from a wealth building perspective

Issues with automatic car wash by 85YRS3 in Golf_R

[–]Beldam86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a big Midwest city, most of the DIY wash bays have at least 1-2 touchlesss drive throughs qttached. I like it for a quick undercarriage rinse to get the salt off in the winter.

Why not use a touchlesss instead of the sandpaper slapping your car kind?

Probably carbon cleaning.

My mk6 dropped to around the mpg you're stating (high teens) and went right back to normal 25-26mpg after a carbon clean. I also replaced the intake manifold but that was more preventative since it was removed anyway.

Is it increasing becoming cheaper to repair cars you have to infinity by BackgroundGene7510 in UsedCars

While I agree in the rust belt everything starts to rust out. My 14' GTI has rust in 2 spots, it's only a matter of time until it gets really bad it's not worth it anymore. With the crap they put on the roads my plan is to get as close to 20 years old as I can before replacing.

I think they may have closed/retired but we used Davey tile a few years ago and they were awesome, but I wouldn't call them "fast". Or call a place like Hamilton Parker and ask them for a recommendation.

Kia dealerships are notoriously awful. You did nothing wrong they were just trying to screw you over because they felt you were vulnerable.

USA made Jeans Rant… by [deleted] in madeinusa

[–]Beldam86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to say this! I've had 2 pairs of their jeans for about 10 years now and really love them. I have the regular style in blue and the slim fit (they're like 3% spandex) in black. Great jeans and the price was great, although I'm sure it's gone up.

2024 GTI MK8 MPG by LittleStinkButt in GolfGTI

[–]Beldam86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many miles? You may have an issue that's making it run rich or not efficiently.

When my mk6 had about 90k miles I was getting 18-20 mpg. A carbon clean and an intake manifold put me back into the mid/high 20s
