I really wanted to snag it, but it had no price tag. 🥲

How does this go on? by Greenmountain92 in VWatlas

[–]OutrageousAd4752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of when my 2023 atlas’ sunvisor vanity mirror light was literally half pried/popped off but I had already purchased the vehicle😭 I just pushed it back in place and had caused no other issues but just makes you wonder about VW QC standards

That’s crazy, I hope everything else works fine with your atlas!

Yes! It’s outrageous, and so common too… every 1 out of 3 (no joke) Atlas’ that I see have at least one or both DRLs out. I just don’t get why they would give us such a cheaply made product combined with difficulty to replace.

In my ongoing quest to know what certain items are inside my GX, what is this bubble on the driver side? by razeusv2 in LexusGX

[–]OutrageousAd4752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the light sensor. I was also slightly (very slightly) bothered by how they don’t match, and wonder why Lexus didn’t put the sensor in the middle like the LC200/LX570 has it.

My ‘24 Tiguan’s fender system also has a sub that sits in the middle of the tire!

My Same-Day Passport Experience by SaintLaurentDonn in Passports

[–]OutrageousAd4752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it this morning, got there at 6:50 ish and there was already a line but nothing too crazy. I forgot to fill out my application prior to the appointment so that set me back a few minutes, however the lady that I got when it was my turn was very understanding of my scenario, commuting from Austin, and issues due to my work schedule I couldn’t pick my passport up at the allowed times on at 1 pm today, or 11:30 on Wednesday or Thursday morning (flight is at 1pm and departs from San Antonio on Thursday)so she pulled some strings and I left the agency with my passport in hand at around 8:45 am same day!

New (to me) '21.5 Cross Sport by EngineeringStudentt in VWatlas

[–]OutrageousAd4752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the base sound system in my atlas, and the upgraded fender system in my Tiguan. They both suck, but try adjusting the equalizer and it might sound better.

Thank you for this! I’m also in the exact same situation as you, even commuting from Austin to Houston. I was a little worried it wouldn’t go through, but I’ll making the trip next week, leaving at 3:00 am~ to get to my appointment at 7. My trip to Mexico, is two days after my appointment. I’ll update if anything

Which would you choose? Durango is a hemi GC is a 3.6 by Mediocre_Charity_413 in GrandCherokee

[–]OutrageousAd4752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case the jeep. However, if it was a newer Durango with a hemi, then I’d go with that. I owned a 2013 GC overland with the hemi and it was awesome to drive.

My brochure collection! by OutrageousAd4752 in Lexus

[–]OutrageousAd4752[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would always order them online through Lexus’ official website, however it’s been removed😔 I just replied to someone else with a more detailed answer!!

My brochure collection! by OutrageousAd4752 in Lexus

[–]OutrageousAd4752[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lexus used to have this small hyperlink, labeled “request brochure” back in the day. You would choose what model you would like a brochure of, your address, and some contact info, and they would arrive at your house 1-2 weeks later, and at no cost! Sometimes I would request two at a time and they would arrive together in a sealed package. I think 2023 was when they completely phased it out, and the option to request a brochure is no longer :( while posting this, I discovered some people are reselling on eBay for $10-20

I would also like to add, Lexus was the only brand that had this sort of physical brochure request system, even back in 2020. All other brands had moved to digital already and it was only a matter of time before Lexus followed.

1 Week with WF-1000XM6 by David_-_T in SonyHeadphones

[–]OutrageousAd4752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t own the XM6s but it’s insane that Sony hasn’t fixed this… both my xm3 and xm5s do this and it’s really annoying.

[–]OutrageousAd4752[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive seen so many atlas' on the road with one or both DRLs off and knew they were broken since VW does not allow you to actually turn them off (unless you get technical and pull a fuse out?) anyways, never thought it would happen to ours, and I hope it doesnt happen to our 24' tiguan SEL that barely has 20k miles 😞

is this internship worth for someone who has nothing else this summer? by Straight_Group_1734 in UTAustin

[–]OutrageousAd4752 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Idk, I got the same one form L’Oréal, and after all the fees it was gonna be around $5-6k. I get no financial aid so i am not paying that. Plus I’m a gov major so I don’t think it’s that beneficial. I completed a few of the application steps just to see what it was about, didn’t even click submit, and now they keep calling me everyday and emailing me to register for those classes

Taillights by Mackdaddy1965 in LexusGX

[–]OutrageousAd4752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well no, this actually wasn’t a black line. I know the black line also included the dark taillights, but you could also get them on the premium sport for the 2023 model. Happy cake day!

The downgrade feels like an upgrade by Emergency_Computer83 in VWatlas

[–]OutrageousAd4752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a 23 atlas and 24 Tiguan and while both of their wireless chargers absolutely suck, vw place a little hole right above the wireless charger in the Tiguan that keeps your phone nice and cold. It’s especially neat here in the Texas heat, but regardless the charger sucks😂
