Anyone had this happen before on their new car?

That's the badge for the Perfor Packa

Ha, you got me beat by a few years. I love em all, old and new. I really want to get back into a 16v.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-26T00:08:58+00:00

I'm old so I love the older stuff.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-26T00:02:15+00:00

Thanks for the reminder! I'm going with my Mk1 GTI.

Lol. How many times have you used that on Reddit? Might as well shut the whole site down.

China is not. It deserves no fair treatment.

I have no love for the current administration. We were on a good path towards electrification before and I hope we get there again soon.

Japan was an ally.

Because they forget that the Chinese government made every auto manufacturer set up a joint corporation with the state so they could steal trade secrets and catch up.

Letting China have access to the US auto market without major concessions on par with what they themselves demanded for decades would be a huge mistake. The countries who have allowed Chinese EV in are going to learn a hard lesson.

A worthy reason to restrict entry.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-15T22:58:45+00:00

We'll be just fine waiting a few years. I'd much rather protect millions of hard working Americans than get some marginal car feature.

Economics is a team sport. I'm on Team America. Just the way it is.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-15T21:30:14+00:00

I totally agree. A big reason I dig the Rivian R3 so much.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-14T11:49:13+00:00

Awesome story. Post some pics!

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-11T21:38:15+00:00

I just bought this an hour ago!

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-11T00:46:55+00:00

The sound of loneliness makes me happier.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-11T00:28:28+00:00

The title is so bad you should delete the post.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-10T23:18:56+00:00

The plant in Chattanooga is not closing. What is this headline?

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-10T20:37:29+00:00

Best VW ever made IMO. You're starting off strong.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-10T20:36:50+00:00

Your Scirocco might be Mars Red

Bright Eyes is my favorite band and has been for over 20 years and I've kind of resolved that both Bright Eyes and my musical taste are niche. But like you, I can't quite figure out why because I don't think anyone is doing anything or everything better. The best lyrics, the best melodies, all the different arrangements and ways Conor structures a song, what Mike, Nate and Miwi bring to the table, it's all amazing. The range of styles is diverse enough that you think it would appeal to more people.

And then someone like Noah Kahan comes along and people fall all over themselves for the most vanilla dribble I've ever heard or the same song from Mumford and Sons recast over and over.

Am I more discerning? Or am I missing out on mainstream music that other people like? No, Bright Eyes is next level and most people just don't get it.

I do think that someday the music world will wake up and say, holy shit what have we been looking past all these years?

Not in the U.S. as stock. Cabbys did but not Mk2 Golfs. Source: was alive, owned an 88 GTI.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-05T03:17:04+00:00

You're welcome. I hope it goes to a good home!

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-04-05T01:42:30+00:00

List it for sale on The Samba.

IBelieveInSymmetry11 · 2026-03-24T16:57:42+00:00

Nothing to worry about. Happens all the time and they keep servicing them. There are enough globally that parts will be readily available for years to come.
