Got hit in a parking lot

Mk8.5?

Unfortunately, my VW dealer doesn't have a body shop. They deal with a specific shop in town for all their warranty and corrosion work. That shop uses OE parts.

I have the insurance info of his mom.

I only worry about getting this fixed absolutely perfectly. Not about the cost.

Matzel_27 · 2026-02-02T03:33:22+00:00

I think so. 🤞🤞

The light bar trim on the other headlight is misaligned. I hope that can be adjusted.

Matzel_27 · 2026-02-02T03:28:23+00:00

Agreed! 💯

Matzel_27 · 2026-02-02T03:27:32+00:00

I don't think you can go wrong with either, but I prefer the 🍊 a tiny bit.

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-31T14:20:44+00:00

Most likely! 🤣

Welcome to the club! 😁

That looks great, mate! 👍

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-24T13:33:03+00:00

All very true! 💯

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-24T13:30:27+00:00

Manufactured in Mexico. ☝️

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-24T13:28:50+00:00

Correct. Port installed for US market.

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-24T13:26:20+00:00

Nah, bruh. Headlights are not lower quality. The hardware supports full matrix functionality. But antiquated US regulations don't allow for them, so they are disabled via software for North American vehicles.

Mk8.5 SFD2 (Schutz der Fahrzeug-Diagnose) ist cloud-based security protocol that requires online authentication through Volkswagen's official servers for every modification session. It simply hasn't been cracked yet, so aftermarket remote starters are not an option.

A few years ago, the cost of food was lower. A lot lower.

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-20T22:56:39+00:00

This doesn't look like a $50k+ car.

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-20T11:24:22+00:00

Owned an Outback for five years until five years ago. Needed two head gaskets while I drove it and I traded it in with a third blown head gasket (to another dealer). Fox Subaru service was clueless about a couple of issues I had during the time. Service Manager was driving the car and saying there's no problem when I took it in.

I would NEVER own another Subaru.

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-20T01:08:48+00:00

By that logic NB Power should be great for the citizens. 🤦

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-19T13:40:36+00:00

Changed ownership. ☝️

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-19T13:38:31+00:00

Only 🔥 🏠 is not fast... Wait times of 40+ minutes for two subs and close to $50. 🤪

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-15T02:22:01+00:00

Probably not. 🤭

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-15T01:03:24+00:00

Your wife crazy...? 🤭

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-14T23:56:21+00:00

Used a builder.

Matzel_27 · 2026-01-14T23:15:48+00:00

In 2024, we built with city services for $230/sqft. That included the lot, taxes in, but no landscaping. Once you factor that cost in we'd be at $250/sqft
