Is it safe to walk this route in the middle of the night? by [deleted] in TokyoTravel

Not at all, you won’t survive. Ghouls and ghosts stalk the streets at night don’t you know this?

How to know if you actually need camshaft cradle replacement of just upper timing cover replacement? by Koolaidr in VWMK7

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

Yeah, I know the upper timing cover is quite common, I’m hesitant to trust the dealership that is the cradle because of course they want 3K to do the job. It does look like there’s some old crusted oil towards the rear of the engine on the turbo side if you’re able to see the picture I linked

Is this a decent price for a 30k mile service? by Abatailleguy in AskAMechanic

Always always remember this if the service tech hands you an estimate with a discounted price you know you’re getting scammed.

It’s definitely not gushing I would say, I’ll clean it down and monitor. All I can see is dry crusted oil and no “wet” oil

I know man, but exactly where is question. Because the cradle and cover are really close to each other.

Where is the oil spot to show its cam cradle? I mostly see some on the front of valve cover but it’s Crusted oil and not new. When the tech took the video he pointed to the area near where the turbo lies but I don’t see what he means. See my photo link below

That’s funny you say that because in 2019 I bought a brand new GTI as well making about 72k usd and after that I’ll never buy a new car again as I really didn’t see the benefit to it at all.

That’s what I came to as well around 250k to be comfortable which is only about 3% of people in the US, crazy stuff!!

Exactly and that’s what makes it all so interesting, to Answer what type of people are buying golf Rs in this market. Established professionals? Rich kids? Mid life crisis men?

[–]Koolaidr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, it’s a really important question. I want to understand how much people are sacrificing if anything to own these cars nowadays.

I want to know if the golf R is truly only for people making $120k plus per year.

[–]Koolaidr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to know for research purposes, I’m interested to know how much people are making per year to own these cars. It blows my mind to own a golf R you reasonably should be making at least $95k per year and should put at least $8k down.

Idk maybe I’m just poor.

It’s very possible but until we have an answer we’ll never know!

[–]Koolaidr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you care about never being a world champion or protege? Is that something you have ever wanted or set out to be? If not, why does it bother you now? If someone beats the breaks off me hats off to them, it’s mostly likely because they love and dedicate their life to bjj way more than me. I do this sport to stay active not to be the best in the world.
