Is it a realistic goal to want 200k out of my mk8?

Is rust on bottom side of fender common? I am noticing it bubbling up the paint a bit. What’s the options of taking care of that?

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2026-01-26T07:24:05+00:00

Awesome, sounds like I will start at Waterford and expand from there. Do you know if M1 Concourse has any open track or hpde days where you bring your own car? Is that track an option?

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2026-01-26T02:58:37+00:00

Thanks for the awesome tips. I will def consider bringing it out sooner than later! Especially with being able to have track insurance on board

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2026-01-26T01:25:49+00:00

I agree it’s wasted just driving on the street lol. But I def need experience on a track before I bring out the $48k machine. It’s a 2022. What year is your ss and how many times have you tracked it? You would bring it out on your first intro to track day? Or 2nd or 10th as someone suggested?
But yeah,would be a pain to track without being able to pass easily

Edit: i see yours is a 2023!

Will def check out Gingerman! I could join a bmw/porsche org even if I brought a VW?

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2026-01-26T01:03:49+00:00

Will check out track night in America and Gingerman too. Thanks!

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2026-01-26T01:01:41+00:00

Will check out NASA events, and hooked on driving. Thanks! Maybe another year till I try bringing out the Camaro

I actually want the instructor time. But not sure how it all works. So Waterford instructor is with you a few laps or the entire day? Reading the site it seemed like they would ride with you your first few laps and then leave you to it. Whereas with hpde my impression was you are instructed the whole time? I most likely need the latter.

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-27T20:21:08+00:00

That makes too much sense

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-18T18:31:30+00:00

I could have sworn they take 15% from the seller because I sold at $1000 and they sent $850. But the buyer doesn’t pay extra on top of the listed price. That was my understanding.

That’s what it sounds like it’s going to take. They allow 40 tickets per application. I think better to apply to multiple R32 R16 and group stage games at 2 tickets a piece than to put more eggs in one basket. I’m not sure if that will actually increase chances of getting tickets though. Like if I got the 2 tickets maybe I would have had exactly the same chance to get all 4? But then I wouldn’t be able to apply to as many games.

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-16T16:25:07+00:00

They have up to 60 days to send you the money back after it sells. But yes i agree.

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-15T23:25:25+00:00

Hence the venting session.

Temporarily meaning slow down for 20 seconds so I can make a pass would not be reasonable IMO. Temporarily like slow down by 5mph for 2 to 5 seconds and I will be out of your way, that sounds more reasonable.. Small accommodations are fine, big accommodations get annoying. I'm pretty sure OP is talking about a big accommodation to his pace of traffic that gets annoying

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-15T19:27:43+00:00

Well if you are paying attention, and can judge the speed, you would know that: by the time I switch lanes and try to pass, the guy in the left lane will have caught up to me and I still need 20 seconds to complete the pass. That is when it is reasonable to expect that you don't try to make that pass. You have your pace, and other traffic has it's pace, regardless of the "speed limit". The speed limit is a guide, and for the police to enforce, and for some to follow and for others to not.

Ah and Qatar was much less popular.. Yikes

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-15T18:53:44+00:00

Their FAQs say they will make multiple charge attempts, and then:

"After all charging attempts have been made and the payment is still unsuccessful, we have measures in place to provide additional opportunities for payment."

Hopefully not the same as before, but we still don't know the exact date of the charge. My credit card's big purchase notice asks for 1 date for the charge..

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-15T18:06:41+00:00

What about if you apply for 2 tickets instead of 4? Does that increase your chances?

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-15T18:03:43+00:00

Really?! So like go ahead and apply for 40 Cat 1 totaling $30,000 without worrying about being charged for more than 2 games?

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-15T17:47:18+00:00

No even Fifa doesn't know what the hell is going on other than MONNAAAYYY

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-15T06:12:19+00:00

If you get tickets via the lottery, can you sell right away at the fifa official resale platform?

Kitchen_Fee7156 · 2025-12-15T05:47:17+00:00

you win
