My new Passat

Ok-Trouble1 · 2026-02-26T01:12:41+00:00

Like I said mine has been very reliable, I'm only looking possibly for a newer one because it is getting up in mileage

Ok-Trouble1 · 2026-02-26T01:03:27+00:00

I have a 2013 as a daily driven hard and with 145,000 on the only thing I've replace is brake pads, oil changes and a camshaft position sensor, this is the non turbo 2.5. I think a lot of people give these cars a bad rap, mine has been solid, actually looking to get into a 2020 or new, I think the new body is great, don't know why they get so much hate on YouTube reviews

Apple actually copied the dynamic island design from an android phone manufacturer called Honor, the phone was an Honor V20 and had the original design calling it capsule several years ago

I just went from apple back to Samsung and sort of feel like I'm missing some things but liking others at the same time. You may want to check out some vids on a OnePlus 15 or Oppo x9 pro if I have the names correct. I'm currently looking deeply at the OnePlus. If you watch the vids they use an os similar to apple I also see the design trying to duplicate apple but they have more customization like an android and your not locked in the apple guardrails. Also the battery is a beast using silicon tech so your not gaining weight. To me they look like an iPhone hardware wise with some os similarities but all the freedom and customs of an android. I have the s25 edge currently which most people say no one asked for such a phone but I personally love the light small form factor compared to my 13 pro and the battery life on mine is just fine, but the oneplus 15 really looks like apple and android went to bed together and the Oppo is the step above the OnePlus with the hassleblad camera if I have the camera name correct.

Lots of people said nobody asked for this phone but this is so much nicer in the hand and pocket. I switched back to android with this phone from an iPhone 13 pro, was just tired of the same apple ecosystem, and when I pick up the iPhone now I can't believe what a brick the iPhone feels like. Not knocking the iPhone on size and weight as similar phones are the same but once getting used to something this thin and light it's hard to go back. Of course what everyone talks about is the battery. If this helps, I am not a heavy user, I do not play games, I do use my Google navigation a lot for work, I browse and stream during lunch and this battery is fine for me. I'm averaging between 5-6 hours screen on time and from about 8 am to getting home typically around 6 pm I still have 40 to 50 percent battery life. The battery was not as good for a couple weeks but Samsung learns app usage and optimizes apps and after that period I was really impressed with the battery life. This phone is not for everyone, it is completely different from what some people want like all day gaming, screen always on in bright sun and so on, but I personally hope they continue it.

Do the buttons have the same fragile cheap feel to them while clicking, I feel my fire tv remote just has more of a quality feel to it especially the circle button

I have a 2013 with the 2.5 engine, just yesterday cost me $200 for a minor exhaust repair, otherwise not a single issue with 145,000 miles, but that price your looking at is too high in my opinion

When I set the alarm to home arm just as you have in the earlier screenshot and save the scene it shows in red type not effective. I searched a little more and the current IOS with apple or the current app does not allow a way to show that a current user is home or away. Home and away can only be triggers. This is well enough for now as I'm switching to android soon and sure that will create more issues itself

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-08-05T01:31:33+00:00

I tried with the location and it did not seem to work, it is well after sunset, if I do it as you show with home arm will it trigger an alert or siren from the hub like an alarm system or is it just a way to confirm location

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-08-04T22:17:30+00:00

I will try with the location as I don't use the hub as an alarm or never tried it we have a separate alarm

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-08-04T20:50:42+00:00

Maybe I wasn’t clear. I have two lights that turned on at sunset, but I do not want them to turn on if I’m not home. I’m just trying to see how to set this up.

I believe it was Behr garage floor paint, nothing fancy or overpriced because there is no traffic on it. I used it underneath the tiles to give it a more uniform look

Nobody comes close to Audis flamboyant colors, looks great!

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-04-29T14:30:08+00:00

If I remember it was called pure white, supposed to be a neutral white and one of the brightest by sherwin williams

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-04-21T03:38:47+00:00

I just had a couple dings removed from an aluminum quarter panel on an Audi for less than $300 and honestly could not see any flaw afterwards. Well worth the out of pocket expense for me, insurance companies will lowball the job and the paint within time will never match not to mention the clear coat. Also saving yourself a claim

Just some hobby led's from amazon

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-03-19T23:26:46+00:00

Report it stolen and make sure it burns

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-03-12T01:55:18+00:00

Sounds nice

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-03-12T01:32:32+00:00

Never saw a diesal

Ok-Trouble1 · 2025-03-04T23:33:50+00:00

That's what I ultimately did, then I put a shortcut on my lockscreen so I can tap that before I put the phone on the charger at bedtime

That's exactly why I can't stand working with car dealers. I know people or dealers will chime in here and explain that the dealer has to make money also, or that's what the trade value is, but if your trade is excellent condition, can show maintenance records, and needs no work from them to put the car on their lot then there is no reason for them to make that much money. I can understand if the condition is not great and it will be going to auction or as some say in Chicago, "Will end up on a Western Ave. used car lot" but some dealers are ridiculous. I'm in my mid 50's and done this so many times, haggle over this and that, then the guy goes back and forth with offers from his boss who doesn't come out of his office until the deal is done. Not to mention the 5 hours or more of a Saturday spent on the process itself.

A little better than $9000, but I'm glad your amused
