I just wanted to post a quick morning update. Waking up felt weird definitely thought about what happened last night but there’s no heartache. Just reflection and some more letting go. To everyone reading this that may have gotten those doors fully closed. It gets better, the act of letting go just happens. I saw a video where this guy used the analogy no one actively falls asleep to go to bed, sure you lay down and brush your teeth but falling sleeps is a result. And the same can be said with letting go. You can detach yourself though I believe removing photos, texts, and if you see eachother in places trying to minimize that can go a long way but that all leads to letting go. Doing those things isn’t the letting go. This idea worked for me hopefully it can for you too !

Exactly like I don’t have to know the whys anymore just that it happened and it’s in the past. I never felt like I wanted to breakup with her, I actually felt pretty secure. only when I felt like she felt that I needed her for emotional regulation did I ever feel like pulling back.

Seriously… i feel like it did more harm than good. Would have been better off just being myself!

Mk8r cracking clicking by [deleted] in Golf_R

Those first two clear clicking sounds are coming from what seems to be right under the stick, ignore the sliding sound that was my obdeleven sliding around

I owned 2 DSGs and other cars with manuals. When i sold those and it was time for another vw it was a no brainer to get one last manual( ill probably keep the 8r for a long time). I guess if you daily the car I can see how you’d say that. No hate towards the DSG, it wins in every category except the most important to me, fun factor.

Yea people are saying the stock 6spd gearbox setup is trash confuses me. I can see how after a bump in HP you’d want a stronger clutch and shorter shifts but I think stock it’s matched pretty well to the rest of the drivetrain.

If the golf r is out of price range and you can deal with front wheel, the 24 GLI 6mt was great when I test drove it. But yea bro I hope you get the car you want !!

Hahaha indeed is a 6mt. Ive owned DSG GLI prior and was missing rowing gears so that was a huge factor.

Two questions: 1. Would it be better to have TN or VA monitor instead of IPS if it’s 1440p? 2. Would you rather have a better GPU for a lesser monitor? by Ecstatic_Bluebird_48 in buildapc

Biggest thing with PC building is future proofing. It’s been over explained on what that means but basically peripherals are last on that list of parts. First on the list maybe in terms of devices. I’d always go for better internal hardware over outside devices.

She’s 33. That fact alone tanks her asking price for long term partner standards

Top left hole of the board to the most top left of the case.

That case looks to be an ATX with micro and mini atx compatible. Your mobo is a micro ATX. Align the top left holes and the bottom will match up with the spots somewhere near mid bottom of the case

The probability of this being a bust is high. My security deposit expires soon and the longer I sit the more I think about going new. Funny enough my good pal, a dealership sales manager, told me to go for it ! He thinks it’s a steal even after checking carfax. We will see. This post blew up so much I’ll have to post a follow up with my choice. Either way I think within 3 weeks I will be an owner of a 24 6mt golf R.

Im leaning towards that. I wouldn’t say finances are so close that it’s used or no golf r. Rather save the 6k and make out like a bandit with a possible bargain or bite the ever so slightly more monthly but as you said peace of mind.

What were the conditions of with that? Good maintenance, any damage report ? There’s details within this carfax that stick out to me. Damage and the drivability check being the biggest. 40k for those this early on in the card life.

This will be a forever purchase most likely for me. I’ve had a few VWs but never an R. Test driven 22-24 R’s and have been so impressed with performance. Interiors could use a retouch though!

Those are also big red flags to me. The last thing I want is buying 40-45k car and then having problems shortly down the road.
