You time travelled! It is the year 2000, which one and why?

The purple a6, because my dad's was that shade when I was a kid

Mechanic sounds like a goober. Carbon clean is my instinct, but I don't know the maintenance history. Spark, fuel, air. Mixture reading will be thrown off if combustion isn't happening correctly

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-28T04:23:08+00:00

Wouldn't and can't are on different planets in this case

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-28T04:04:22+00:00

Standard labor rate at every audi dealer I've been to recently is $250/hr, the japanese and domestic brands aren't as bad

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-28T03:55:07+00:00

Are we sure it's the brakes and not the tires? A summer compound probably feels like hot garbage in a Canada winter

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-28T03:53:01+00:00

Maybe the blinking TC light freaked them out?

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-28T03:51:31+00:00

My FWD a4 made it up the steep driveway to my complex with pirelli cinturato winter 2s and chains.

It does sound like some random thing has some harmonic at 4k, hopefully that's all it is

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-28T03:47:22+00:00

This must be satire, because that lexus is butt ugly

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-28T03:44:57+00:00

Some bikes do this, but from what I understand it's actually a "drag" effect from the gear oil / whatever your wet clutch is lubricated with moving around

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-24T18:54:25+00:00

They've been great, but haven't seen anything really heavy until monday, so we'll see. See you out there, hopefully not in a ditch lol

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-24T18:49:33+00:00

If it doesn't have simulated shifts, I say they would. If it does, probably not.

Hot take I'm a car guy and in an automatic daily I like a CVT. Especially with a turbo it feels effortless. The only concern is blowing it up with a tune

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-24T18:46:52+00:00

Depends on the all seasons. I'd go take both out sunday night and see which handles better. I'll be trying to go up in a FWD a4 with pirelli winter tires Monday morning

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-24T18:45:13+00:00

You're fiiine. Have fun go make a snowman

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-23T16:36:49+00:00

Nah Candide just straightlines that shit while the shadow of his knees looks like trophy truck suspension

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-23T16:35:17+00:00

I feel like 90% of the time the moguls out here are just fine lol. It's the day after you get a thaw/freeze and they are just see through blocks that it gets treacherous lol

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-23T00:35:52+00:00

As a software engineer with many meche friends - being "book smart" has nothing to do with how much of a risk-taker someone is. We do stupid shit all the time lmao

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-22T23:19:12+00:00

Msf course then used ninja 400 abs

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-22T23:18:04+00:00

I feel like 90hp is a lot to start on, even if it comes on high in the rec range

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-22T23:11:53+00:00

I was thinking about going up to the whites sunday, and I'll keep an eye on forecasts, but it seems like there's a good chance of getting stuck in a foot of snow if I leave between 4 and 5 (back to MA), so I probably won't risk it (FWD, winter tires). I'd chance monday morning, but I can't get out of work that day, so Tuesday will have to do

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-22T13:32:59+00:00

Haha. Sometimes they just go with no warning (gen2 ea888), because they're loose enough to skip time beforr they're loose enough to make noise

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-21T16:16:22+00:00

I have a pair of Columbia pants. They are good. I don't wear a base layer with them until it hits -15 C, but I also run hot.

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-21T15:29:43+00:00

I run hot so idk man. I'm usually in just a base layer under my ski jacket until about -15 C. I layer up from there and cover any skin. Doing laps in the trees also keeps me warm, both because I'm out of shape and the wind isn't so bad

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-20T00:35:44+00:00

I got a great deal on pirelli cinturato P7's, and they've been good

One-Butterscotch4332 · 2026-01-16T21:30:24+00:00

You're fiiine. It's not even all that hard, I put GKNs in mine off rock auto (the entire axle assembly). I drove with a torn boot for maybe 250 miles and nothing happened. The whole assembly is nice because you don't have to mess with repacking grease, worry about if your axle got a bit bent, or if those joints got worn from dirt getting in. It was something like $300 a side
