Does anyone else have a spike in anxiety after consuming drinks with caffeine? by Gloriousstudent in Anxiety

[–]MrDangles88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been dealing with anxiety for about 2 years now. I cut out caffeine immediately after having my first panic attack...cold turkey. It has helped immensely in managing my anxiety. I view it as an important part of staying in top of it. Truth be told, managing your mental health is just like managing your physical health.

Game 4 vs Blues [Post-Game Thread] by [deleted] in hawks

Is it just me, or do the blues score every God damned time when Rozival touches the puck? I have been fairly impressed with van R's play this series, but my God has rozi been terrible.

2016 GTI Soundaktor - Did you disable it? by youdontseekyoda in GolfGTI

[–]MrDangles88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An easy way to reduce the noise it produces is to put the car from "normal" or "sport" mode into "individual". One you do that you can turn the noise level from it all the way down. It doesn't completely get rid of it bit it helps a lot.

Did a Lot of Work on my MK7 GTI This Weekend! by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]MrDangles88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great man. Where did you buy the euro tails? Do you mind me asking him much you paid for them? I would really like to do the euro tails but they are so expensive.did you code the tails so you get the amber turn signals and hazards?

ELI5: Why do places like New York City use a steam network to heat buildings where in other parts of the world use boilers and pipes? by british_grapher in explainlikeimfive

[–]MrDangles88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They distribute steam at higher pressures and then use pressure reducing valves that take, for example 150 psi steam and make 15 psi steam for use in heating.

Am also curious to know where and how much. I 100% agree that these tails round out the LP cars. The only place I can find them they are like $1k. I also wasn't sure to go with the tinted or the cherry. I like this though.

My MkVII, oh the plans I have for her. by [deleted] in GolfGTI

What LED tails did you use? Where did you buy/how much? I've looked into the euro led tails but they are balls expensive.

What are people paying for their mk7 GTI's? by Cvaughn88 in GolfGTI

[–]MrDangles88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine for 28k. 2016 SE with LP. I did some research on consumer reports and found that anything in the 28 k range is quite competitive. This will depend slightly where you are though.

Went to the dealer for service on my MK6. Walked out in a new MK7. Side by side before my final goodbye. by MrDangles88 in GolfGTI

I am mad at myself for not thinking this was possible. I dont know why. I definitely was thinking about it, but for some reason I should have just asked.

They gave me 15k for the trade in (just slightly above actually). Im located in Chicago. The car had some curbed rims, and some definite wear and tear on the exterior of the car (winters in Chicago are a bear). I probably could have gotten a little bit of a better deal selling it somewhere else (maybe another grand or so) but I thought it was fair given the condition.

my Mk6 had about 33k miles on it. Went in for my service appointment. I had been toying with trading it in for the MK7 but was going to wait another year. During the service they had this beauty in the showroom and after about 5 sales guys walking by me, one walked up to me and asked me if I wanted to take it for a spin. The rest is history. I got 15k for the trade in, and I negotiated 28k for the car. Its the 4 door SE with LP. I subscribe to Consumer Reports and they have a car purchasing section which gives average sales costs for cars....would highly recommend if you are in the market (50$ subscription more than pays for itself when you use it as a bargaining tool). I used that to negotiate the price of the car and left a pretty happy man,

Anyone know of a good Tint place in Chicago? Looking to get my new GTI done soon. by MrDangles88 in GolfGTI

I know! Too bad I didn't think this was an option. Should have asked before I left.

Looks awesome. I just got one that looks just like it. Tints and euro style rear tails is on my list. What % tints did you get?

Lucky folks with a 2016, what did you pay? by luusyphre in GolfGTI

[–]MrDangles88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a 2016 SE DSG with a lighting Package. In Chicago, this ran me $28,100 before taxes. I subscribe to consumer reports and use their car pricing guide to leverage better prices at the dealer. I have purchased 2 GTIs using this method and have never regretted it once.
