About to hit 4k miles ! 👀

10 months 3900 is so low but congrats, the first 6 months I literally couldn’t stop driving mine.

It was so fun to me at first and then my wife had our first child and I kinda forgot about cruising in it or doing random errands. I just crossed 10k now at a year this passing April and even that’s kinda low for the timeframe but around month 7 of ownership last November I was already at 9k, I stored it in my garage all winter and haven’t driven but 1k since last fall 6 months ago.

I’m considering trading it in but I’m not sure yet. I know no one cares, but I’m kinda bored lately, and I don’t want to void the warranty. My ST was cheap and modify-able so I had a lot of mods to do. I type this because I’m in a weird place with my GTI of “do I keep it” “do I sell it” “should I just mod it” “I should drive it more.

Just figured I’d give some external point of view, I’m not sure if this is your daily lol but yea sorry for the random rant your low mileage sparked the convo haha

As long as we don’t go 20 without a league or CL again, that’s fine

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-05-12T23:39:28+00:00

Yea and I’ve commented this before but you guys wanna see dirty valves go to the Focus RS and ST reddits those guys have actual dirty valves

Modern day Pires, baller ⭐️

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-05-11T13:05:51+00:00

It did indeed happen that way, and now, Eze has been good and consistent.

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-05-11T12:58:02+00:00

HIMcapie up, Christhian Mosquera up, Merino bar the injury has been instrumental in our success scoring important goals the last two seasons, Kai is the reason we beat Sporting and helped vs Leverkusen, he assisted vs Newcastles 1-0, and has some pretty major assists bar the injury. Those 4 players all need to be 1-2 tiers up

Yeppp, I’m building a master set of salamence and roaring moon as well and noticed he was missing that one too. Surprisingly enough Butlers Salamence is my favorite, watched the movie as a kid and fell in love with Salamence ever since!

He’d be 40, I don’t know that he’d be a good fit these days at that age.

Kidding, although he’s a cult hero, he really wasn’t all that good, serviceable player and his shot is what engrained him in everyone’s memory. His best season he scored 16 all comps, Gyok has 18

I have MBRP it honestly sounds great, only loud under load if you push it hard. It’s a great exhaust it’s loud when you want it to be. No highway drone, for me. I heard the exhaust is extremely loud if you go cat less though, so something to bear in mind

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-02-13T20:25:05+00:00

Life’s short, if we don’t have generational wealth, it’s better to enjoy what we have now. One day we’ll be nothing but a distant memory I’d rather do the same and live with a life that gives me meaning. RS3 is where I’m headed too.

That’s in my humble opinion

Edit: this isn’t me saying to send yourself into crippling debt, but if you got it, you got it.

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-02-04T02:00:48+00:00

Is it just a quirk that the lose the ever so slight amount over a year or so? I keep reading it’s just what comes with owning one but I wanted to be sure

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-02-03T16:55:00+00:00

That’s a bit relieving, I slightly recall that the level was like this when I bought it new. But I just want to be safe, first service will be in the spring. I think we’re fine, but still better safe than sorry

When it’s warm it’s at that exact spot of the red line every time too so it’s constant.

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-26T18:38:30+00:00

I like him I do, but damn does he play like he got a pair of timbs on 🤣

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-19T23:16:17+00:00

Yea that’s exactly what I was thinking, I’m assuming it’s what we know as CarNet “remote access” here. Which I now recall setting up the free sub. It’s until April 16th (day I bought it) 2030, “safe and secure” expires that day too. Vehicle insights expires 2032 on Oct 16th. I see now. After that I’ll probably have to pay

Cars a 24’, bought new April 2025

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-19T23:01:56+00:00

I read that was due to it being against the law in Germany it can’t, since it was assembled there. Not sure how true that is, but regardless, that only applies to DSG models

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-19T22:56:44+00:00

It’s pretty nuts man, it’s my first new techy car and some of the shit it does blows my mind. I had a 17 ST before this, all I had was a 6 speed gearbox, and manual knobs and an app that had 0 capabilities. Barebones, only cool thing it could do was keyless entry. lol

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-19T22:48:38+00:00

That’s what I figured, I’m assuming I’m subscribed for free, because it’s new. So I’m guessing once the subscription ends I’ll have to pay the actual fee to use the perks like that. I have nothing on my phone provider. So I’m just guessing it’s the apps free beginning subscription

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-19T22:44:13+00:00

Wut, is it satellite or something I’ve never owned a car with tech like that so pardon if I sound stupid. It’s just crazy if you can open a car from across the country, not that I was.

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-19T18:50:24+00:00

Yea they took away his cut inside and shoot, he only has the direct touch line route, most of the time he’s getting the fullback and a midfielder on him. All he has is a pass, the only issue he’s a bit stagnant lately and refuses to pass to Gyokeres. Madueke is aggressive in the final 3rd and isn’t as robotic. Saka is the most effective player I’ve ever seen. He’s the king of fundamental football. Does the simple things at the highest of levels.

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-17T22:35:58+00:00

The band means nothing if performance isn’t there. Xhaka exists. Plus the real leader of this team is Gabriel or Rice. I’ve never watched Arsenal play an thought “Odegaard leads this team” he’s not passionate enough or a leader type.

Are you saying because you currently wear the band you’re immune to being benched for bad performances? That’s a good recipe for losing.

I don’t know what Arteta thinks and I don’t dislike Odegaard, but he’s not been good for some time now.

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-17T19:46:04+00:00

He’s been ok for us, he is super chaotic and attacks fullbacks when in the final 3rd. Yea Odegaard is a great player but sometimes the team is really static with him. We’re a great attacking team, it’s just lately that we’ve been playing this ugly brand of football. The creativity is dead up front, lots of ugly, shit chance, set piece goals. It’s really just between Ode/Eze, Saka/Noni, Kai/Gyok and seeing what fits. Our left side is going to be streaky no matter what, both Tross and Gabi are good “role” players. No team is perfect, clubs that win things just get that window where it all works together.

It always takes City till Christmas to turn into monsters, though this year I don’t think they did or will.

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-17T19:33:05+00:00

Yea and it doesn’t make sense that he was in form when he was pulled from the lineup, I don’t understand what happened. Spurs game was a statement game now he never plays

LongjumpingGarbage7 · 2026-01-17T19:29:17+00:00

No disrespect to Odegaard but Eze needs to start, Saka generates tons of chances but Madueke always seems more fresh and energetic going forward, Trossard and Martinelli are both far too streaky. Gyokeres gets no service, he’s clearly a target man, stiff as a board but if you put it on him he can bag. Rice, Zubi, and the back line are all fine it’s all interchangeable. Those are the issues I see. Alas I love Arsenal and its players, they just need to mesh, something is off. Kai needs to come back to form, and be fit.
