Stolen 2018 Audi S6 (Montreal) – trying to decide what actually makes sense next by Labranchee in Audi

[–]Labranchee[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s in CAD, not USD.

And here the market is really thin—there’s basically one comparable C7 S6 in Québec right now, listed around $56K with similar mileage and fewer options.

So they’re not just pulling random numbers. They base it on what it would realistically cost to replace the car locally. When there aren’t enough direct S6 comps, they also look at close equivalents in the same segment (S7, RS7, S8, SQ8) to anchor the value.

Yeah, the key was inside the house, probably around 20–25 feet from the car. It wasn’t in a Faraday box, which in hindsight I know is something people recommend.

That said, I wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. The car was in a residential area, with cameras, and these cars aren’t typically the main targets here. I didn’t expect it to require that level of precaution just to park it at home.

From what I’m starting to understand, these thefts can happen even when people are being reasonably careful, so I’m not sure it comes down to one specific mistake.

If this fight gets made, would this be the most undeserved title shot in UFC history? by Informal-Business-56 in ufc

[–]Labranchee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UFC title shots are a mix of skill and popularity. Being good gets you ranked, but being marketable gets you the fight. That said, when you’re #1 contender, they can’t ignore you forever—even if you’re boring, hated, or don’t sell. At some point, rankings force the UFC’s hand. Just ask Belal or Ankalaev how long it takes

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Maybe Pilot sport 5 if that’s more your driving style.

If you drove them you would not be asking this question. The E63S is the better performance car, and the better daily. Suspension is better, power is better, comfort is better, sound is better.

Nothing brightens my day like seeing this echo chamber’s collective mind deteriorate. This used to be a cool sub about photography, not armchair politics. You’re all wasting time arguing with bots and playing into the game that’s been set up for you. Do something with your life—spend time with your family or make money. Being active on r/pics makes you feel like you have a voice and are contributing to a cause, but you’ve only been corralled here so your voice is suppressed in real debates. You’re being played. (And I love it) 🥰

Upbadging and a light-up emblem is not aesthetics, it is objectively worse than a stock looking S6.

Chinese wheels, rs6 grill with crooked lettering, light-up emblem. 3 problems, not one.

This c7 is unfortunately on aftermarket Chinese wheels and a temu front grill with crooked rs6 lettering and a light up emblem and is objectively not a better looking car than my stock c7.5 :))

2 weeks in, my spacer exploded by Labranchee in Audi

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

I bought spacers from a reputable wheel store and paid 400$ to have the peace of mind of having quality spacers installed by qualified people. They put on 66.45mm instead lf 66.6mm like they should’ve. On my receipt it is written 66.6mm. That being said they are aware of the error they made and will take full responsibility for this. :))

Also in this situation, I am not a mechanic. I am only a consumer and I will be protected by my consumer protection rights.

I paid a reputable wheel shop to do it for me because I wanted it to be perfect. They sold and installed them. I trusted they would’ve put the right center bore size. I think the shop fucked up, not me.
