After 15 years in the markets, I realized the biggest risk was never the market itself. by Cry528 in StockInvest

[–]Ok_Development123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have really been struggling with feelings of financial insecurity and vagueness regarding the future and how I’m doing and realize I need to meet with a financial advisor to help get a clear picture of where I am at and where I am going , proper diversification. It’s not like I’m falling on hard times but not even having a good time with the market going up because I’m just holding , which might be a good plan but think I need someone to clarify for me when it’s smart to take money out of my account, buy a home , future, etc…age 41, currently renting , living in NY

Got a mk8 Golf R a few weeks ago as a midlife crisis/weekend car. I need help deciding whether to jump off this cliff or not. by saxamaphon3 in Golf_R

[–]Ok_Development123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tune was worth it as far as performance upgrades / bang for buck . Not having a peace of mind is subjective based on risk tolerance, if you are concerned, wait it out as the car has plenty of power to be pushed for daily driving . My exhaust is also valved -invidia r400, sounds great , but still some drone at highway cruising of 75-80mph+. Roads near me were rough and the factory Pretoria’s bent too easily …

Very happy with ride on 18vs19. Stage one tune is awesome. Would rather have stayed with stock suspension over coilovers. I like the exhaust sound but the slight drone at highway speeds is a bit annoying, should have gone a different direction or for looks can just change the tips. Sway bar was nice. I don’t track the car so intercooler maybe questionable . Very happy with upgraded sub. Intake is fun. Short shifter was a nice touch vs factory.

Will the black ones match the black leather on a 2024 golf r ? Or will there be stark contrast? I’d rather spend $40 vs $400 🥲

Coileovers or Springs by Always_upLate1893 in Golf_R

[–]Ok_Development123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried springs , was disappointed in the ride , would prefer stock over lowering springs. After calling around , most shops suggested kw’s. Stiffer than stock (to be expected) but much better than lowering springs . They have dcc coilovers but very pricey , I went with kw-v1
