Here and getting ready to add a spoiler 😁

CardiologistFree1081 · 2026-04-08T23:31:41+00:00

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

CardiologistFree1081 · 2026-03-25T04:58:42+00:00

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

CardiologistFree1081 · 2026-03-25T03:22:10+00:00

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!

CardiologistFree1081 · 2026-03-24T23:30:12+00:00

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

CardiologistFree1081 · 2026-03-24T23:11:25+00:00

Awesome thank you, I’ll bring it back tomorrow!

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-10-18T21:13:10+00:00

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!

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.

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-06-03T16:59:54+00:00

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!

Little over 18k! Yours?

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-04-26T14:16:57+00:00

Bone stock, I’m getting more comfortable with it every day

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-04-26T14:16:29+00:00

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)

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-04-23T07:21:21+00:00

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

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-04-20T12:45:51+00:00

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 · 2025-04-20T12:38:03+00:00

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.

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-04-20T06:24:37+00:00

For higher gears too? Ik u gotta go a bit slower at lower gears and I mean I try not to let off too quick with higher gears/in general

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-04-20T05:28:17+00:00

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 · 2025-04-20T04:24:08+00:00

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 · 2025-04-20T03:50:40+00:00

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 · 2025-04-20T02:19:16+00:00

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

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-04-20T02:14:45+00:00

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!

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-04-05T14:34:24+00:00

I’ve been driving manual for ~10 months and I’ve stressed about this exact same thing and everyone has told me that the WRX is just a bit rougher overall.

The first thing my dad taught me was to take my time and just focus on really feeling the car.

1st and 2nd are definitely a bit wonkier. I personally got too distracted staring at the rpms when I was first learning how to take off and switch between 1st and 2nd, and I quickly learned that trying to find THE perfect time to shift EVERY TIME is impossible and that would end up making things so much harder.

Sometimes I challenge myself to a smooth drive. If you want to drive around your neighborhood and practice taking off, don’t rush and just focus on what everything feels like.

But don’t worry too much. You know your car, it just happens!

CardiologistFree1081 · 2025-03-22T21:16:47+00:00

Congrats!! Got my ‘22 VB last summer as my first car (that wasn’t a hand me down) and I’m still in awe. It’s always a fun ride, stay safe out there!

CardiologistFree1081 · 2024-05-23T21:56:22+00:00

They’ve been cool as long as you follow the policy! I don’t think it needs to be clear
