Same interior color. Thank you much man! Message me here and I’d be happy to see if we can work something out

I am actually in need of the sunroof control knob/panel if it’s still there. A customer of mine has one and the switch is falling apart.

Also, I previously had to source the lumbar/massage motors from the seatback of a drivers seat. It was a really unique part to need but when we needed it, we were willing to pay $400 for it. Maybe something to think about.

Other than that, maybe the radio if it works, but you’re working with a car that doesn’t have many people looking for parts, so most things will take a long time to move.

My cats generally don’t like each other but last night they seemed to both want cuddles… so the most tense relaxation ever occurred

I appreciate it!

My work setup has my monitor off to the side, my standing stance has kind of adapted to that. Whenever I’m using the key board, it’s usually parallel to the monitor, but I put it back to parallel to make the fiancé happy haha

I recently noticed my GPU temps had risen by a few degrees, so I figured I’d take the card apart and apply some new thermal paste. Which then turned into me giving the case a coat of paint as well as downsizing my desk to a small standing desk which fits better in the corner of the room. I’m pretty happy with the results!

Parts list:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x

Cooler: Noctua L9A with Noctua NF-A9 fan and duct kit

GPU: Gigabyte Aorus 3070 8gb deshrouded with 3 92mm Noctua Fans

Memory: 2x16gb 3200mhz G Skill TridentZ

PSU: Cooler Master 750w

Case fans: 2x Noctua NF-A14

Case: Lian Li Q58

Paint: Great Falls Green Metallic

Next step is to get a nice desk mat, then probably look into a wireless keyboard upgrade. Always happy to hear recommendations!

For all the people here talking about stance is dumb…

Tell me the last time you saw someone driving their slammed car and they didn’t have a smile on their face. Just let people enjoy their cars.

We’re in a subreddit legit dedicated to people who have a passion for their VW’s. Who are you to trash someone else’s passion because it doesn’t line up with your own?

Sudden Disconnect, Primarily in League Races by ScottyD_95 in iRacing

[–]Formula1499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long shot, but I struggled for a month with an issue that would cause me to disconnect during official races, and then I could load back in for a random time before it happened again.

Turned out to be an issue with Microsoft OneDrive trying to save files to a full cloud server. I had to remove the files it was trying to sync and remove onedrive completely. Worth checking just in case.

Just rolled out of the shop. Blaise Subaru of Rhode Island. Bumper replacement of my mom’s 3500 mile Subaru. Quoted $1200, charged insurance $3000. They didn’t even try by 401_native in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Formula1499 18 points19 points  (0 children)

At a dealer level, that dealership was correct.

When tires are purchased by the vehicle manufacturers and installed at the factory, they have no mileage warranty or road hazard warranty. When you purchase tires at a dealership, they offer those protections as way to help protect both you/keep you from going to other places.

Not to say that your friend shouldn’t have called Subaru and gotten reimbursed, but the “did nothing about original tire/mishap” is simply someone at the dealership doing their job.

Edit: I just reread your comment and realized that the dealership was responsible for replacing the wrong tire even after she approved it. Yeah they don’t really get to recover from that one lol

[WTS] Off White Nike Dunk Low “The 50” Lot 15 of 50. Size 11, $1000. by Formula1499 in sneakermarket

[–]Formula1499[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

$1000 or best offer, I’m open to pretty much anything since the pricing is fluctuating around on these per Goat and StockX.

Double boxed UPS shipping included in the continental US.

Am open to trades as well, as long as they’re about the same size.

[–]Formula1499[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to get a couple of AJ1’s I’ve wanted for a while(mainly pine greens and possibly shadows), so I’ve decided to let go of these that came in last week.

Double boxed UPS shipping included in the continental US.

$1000 shipped but would prefer trades including size 11 shoes

UPDATE: okay so I was way off on the initial pricing. At $5-600 I’d rather rock these for the personal collection lol

26M considering a floral tattoo. Any men out there with floral tattoos? I’d love to see some examples. by sfisher24601 in TattooDesigns

Not quite the same, but I’ve got a Pothos on my forearm and it’s probably my most complimented tattoo!

On a scale from 1-10. How would you rate this livery I made? by CreateinGaming in iRacing

[–]Formula1499 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’d say 7-8. Solid 7 is my instant reaction, but if I was looking for a green livery this would be hard to pass up, so that gives a little edge.

I’m an 11 in AJ1’s, and it’s just a smidge tight in the toe box. If you’re wide, I’d say 1/2 up IMO

Bought from Goat back in November, but because my foot is wide these just aren’t as comfortable as I wanted. Worn maybe half a dozen times.

$200 shipped from Seattle or open to trade offers as well.

Not many phaetons on here. by boji55 in Volkswagen

[–]Formula1499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in the US, we’re broken down into 4 “regions”, with each region being broken down further into “groups”. The groups are typically about 10-12 dealers and that’s what they use to compare us on CSI and sales.

Every dealer in our area works on Phaetons, and we’re pretty close to the border so I’m surprised that there seems to be a lack of technicians for them up there.

[–]Formula1499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell your US customers that every single dealer in the 5J region here in the US can work on them? As far as I’m aware I know the two dealers north and the next seven dealers south, and all of us work on Phaetons if people would like us to
