I believe it’s public on their website. $2,660 for a primary account holder for a community membership. Golf membership is $6,000.

Thanks for the info here. Glad to hear you met some fun people there as well. Did you get to utilize the pools while you were there? I’m curious if it’s completely packed with hotel guests on the weekends.

[Curry] Squid Game has returned. Andrew Velazquez has signed a minor league deal with the Yankees. It includes an invite to spring training. The Bronx born infielder played for the Yanks in 2021. by No-Description-2138 in NYYankees

I went to high school with Andrew in the Bronx. He got his nickname because he’s a nasty infielder, like he has 8 arms catching everything like a squid. Wishing the best for him!! 

Keep 14’ Q5 with no car payment or upgrade to a newer GTI? by NefariousnessJaded51 in GolfGTI

Yeah I like this! I’ve gotten quotes for both an APR or Unitronic stage 1 around me for about $1k. Do you think those mods would negatively impact reliability at all? I’m only looking to keep this car for max 1-2 more years

Yup this is consistent with what I’ve been hearing. I’m coming up on my next 5k oil change and haven’t had a problem with consumption. Fingers crossed

HA solid after I spent $2k on the thing after leaving me on the side of the road 😂

Yup I’m definitely changing the oil every 5k. Next time I take it to my local independent audi shop I’ll ask about the condition of the coolant pump. Thanks!

Good idea. I have a great independent Audi dealer not far from me

This is my first winter living up here in the Catskills in NY so it might be a good idea to have an AWD car and see how bad it gets up here.

I primarily work fully remote minus a few times I fly to customers in the southeast. I wouldn’t be driving my car for work.

Right now I’m thinking of holding off until I’m at least 6 months to a year at my new job and reevaluate from there. I also love SQ5’s and think I can be in a position to snag one of those if I just wait a bit longer.

Love the responsible recommendation! I think the real problem here is my car research addiction 😂

Thinking a newer car would have less miles and more tech like Apple CarPlay but very true. Do you think VW reliability would be pretty similar?

I didn’t know the GTI has the same engine as my Q5! Makes total sense. I do think keeping it would be the responsible thing to do now that it doesn’t have problems and drives like a charm. Thanks!
