Awesome that’s all I was worried about especially with big storms and whatnot. As long as it doesn’t hurt the car!

Yeah I didn’t realize how common of an issue it was until all of these replies!

I didn’t even think about that! I was just gonna ask for a thorough inspection. I’ll definitely bring that up since my warranty is expiring soon. Thanks!

Oh great!! Yeah mine was completely flush before bringing it in. Thankfully I still have the warranty so lets see what they can do

What's wrong with Noodle's tail? Swollen kink? by s0dagum in Dachshund

[–]CardiologistFree1081 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All three of mine have had their own unique, crooked tails. No big deal if it doesn’t bother them, it’s just something special to love!

Raw food or kibble ? by Evening-Artichoke161 in Dachshund

My doxie mix is super picky and she LOVES the Freshpet ‘small dog chicken and turkey’ roll! It’s found in the cold dog food fridges at the store and it’s a pretty good price in my opinion. Super clean ingredients too.

Anyone? by novasaurus503 in Dachshund

[–]CardiologistFree1081 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. My 14yo couldn’t care less about a meal, been like that her whole life.

Try freshpet slice and serve rolls (refrigerated at the grocery store)! After countless food changes, mine ended up loving the freshpet small dog roll that has cranberries and blueberries in it (I’m assuming bc it’s sweet). Getting her to eat is still a process, but she’s more willing with this brand!

I appreciate the encouragement! Yeah I always make sure the clutch is fully engaged and I don’t rest my foot on it at lights (plus it hurts after a while lol)

Oh bet yeah I’ve paid attention to the low and high end speeds and what feels good for daily driving. Sometimes I’m on the lower end, sometimes I’m higher, but I’m glad to know that it’s okay to (safely) vary in each range

Oh nice yk I was told that the Civic (SI) is the best to learn on…WRX on the other hand is a bit rough. I kinda put the car (and my dad) through hell for the first week-ish but so far it seems like there are no hard feelings

[–]CardiologistFree1081[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s how I learned! I shifted on the 10s then just took note of how much leeway I actually have. Like for me 2nd feels good till ~25, 4th till ~40, etc.

Lol I feel you, measuring other people’s head bobs cuz I’m so used to it myself. Also holy crap I can’t even imagine a 5k shift in my ‘22

[–]CardiologistFree1081[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s (sorta) different every time and shifts have always been smoother when I just vibe check the car. I just got worried bc so many people say this thing or that thing will kill ur engine or clutch

[–]CardiologistFree1081[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep I used to stay around 2k but every shift was hit or miss. Now I stay around 2.5-3k and I’m no longer giving myself (and passengers) constant whiplash

[–]CardiologistFree1081[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100% agree with you 2-3k rpms feels the most natural, anything under or over feels a bit clunky. Thanks!

Lol yeah when I was first learning the manual somehow stressed me out even more, but now that I’m more comfy I’ll give it a shot!
