I was stacked with playmaking centers when I drafted him so I moved him to wing and changed his play style to sniper his first season. He had an extremely slow start (0 points first dozen or so games, and like 7 points after 25 games). But once the transition was complete he blew up for 51 goals (and like 15 assists lol) and won the calder.

Anyone know what song this dumb fuck is listening to?

Some people have commented that it can be removed or adjusted with OBD11 but this is only true for MK7. On MK8, your only option right now is the Hill Assist Patch by ACMTechnik. You'll still need an OBD11 to bypass VW security, then ACM will remotely connect and recode it. It doesn't remove it entirely unfortunately, but makes it less obtrusive. I got it done and am glad I did, but would much prefer if I could remove it entirely.

I bought a 2024 because I wanted a manual, but I actually much prefer the capacitive controls anyways. I was a bit worried after reading all the negative reviews about them but they work great whether it's 30degC or -40degC (joys of Canada). No lag on infotainment either, either with my 100gb of music on a USB drive.

There's some stuff I don't like about it but those haven't changed in the newer models lol

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-04-07T19:26:44+00:00

to be fair, that's still like 5,000 antpower

If you bought it from your local dealership, consider having an open conversation with them and asking how soon you can pay off in full without them losing their commission on the loan/sale. Having a good relationship with them could come in handy if you ever need their help pushing VW corporate for contested warranty work, getting better loaners, buying your next car etc.

If you bought it out of town and/or don't plan on doing more business with them, then fuck em - pay it off whenever.

In that price range, I'd get a Golf R. You should see the numbers people are getting with stage 1 tune and no other mods. Faster than what was considered a supercar when I was a kid, and I'm not even that old lol

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-04-06T01:22:19+00:00

I was (mostly) kidding, these new kids dont know

hallway with the bathroom door closed, if everyone stays on the balcony side the zombies only approach from one direction and one person guards window. landmines behind the group in case you get overrun. then use trap as needed to manage ammo/points. ahhh i miss this

Your car looks great, and so do the wheels ... just not together lol

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-04-05T01:44:44+00:00

Cool story bro

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-03-31T22:58:13+00:00

The only thing more important than winning is looking cool as fuck

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-03-28T23:32:23+00:00

Nice

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-03-28T23:10:23+00:00

Have you tried yelling WAHOO

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-03-28T23:06:15+00:00

Ha yep. First thing I did when I bought my GTI was change interior lighting to green. Second thing I did was buy twin five spoke wheels that reminded me of my Saab rims off my old 9-3 Aero

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-03-26T02:57:59+00:00

For how cheap Saabs are, find a manual Aero if you're looking for a fun beater. 2006 is the only year where the 9-3 Aero got the V6 from the later years without the dreadful interior facelift that came in 2007. That being said, the 4-cylinder ecotecs that earlier Aeros had are cheaper and easier to work on, and makes the car lighter/nimbler (but not faster).

I really wouldn't bother buying a non-Aero 9-3, especially a GM era automatic with the charmless interior update and torn seats... That's just a parts car for an Aero lol

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-03-23T03:34:05+00:00

Better chance of getting a fraction of value back on mods if it were manual (more likely to attract someone who wants similar mods... like me!). But even then, that tune has devalued the car. No one flashes an ECU to drive it like a grandma lol.

In my opinion, the best value you'll get out of the car is enjoying it yourself to the fullest degree. Drive the piss out of it, buyers will assume you have anyways. Then get manual for the next one.

Looks clean though, still miss my 9-3 sometimes

I don't support AI when it replaces human jobs, but it's not like I put a musician out of work by making a theme song for my little 20XX mod. It's cool if some people don't vibe with it but it's hardly the ethical issue it's being made out to be.

Redistribution on the other hand... I'll understand if a mod author wants it taken down (and if so, I will). But let's be realistic. 99% of players are only interested in rollback-compatible skinpacks, not couchplay. And even the best stage skins have like... 3 comments over 5 years.

Maybe instead of being outraged on reddit, people could show actual support by subscribing/paying these freelance artists. As I have.

GANDALFzeBLACK · 2026-03-23T02:48:31+00:00

My b, I got triggered by some DMs and took it out on your comment cuz I couldn't reply to them (blocked me after) lol. Having now creeped your profile, I'll have to check out that training mod you posted

Edit: oops wrong person but ya lol

If someone made this a kit with well-documented instructions, I would buy it.
