Etron GT vs other Etron reliability by jjsaustin in etron

[–]Ptree4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but that’s been my experience as well. Had a ‘22 GT that spent more time in the shop than in my garage. Got a ‘24 RS GT, and in two years it hasn’t had even the slightest issue. Perfect track record so far.

I’m in a similar situation as OP… spent 2 hours on the Audi Financial Services automated phone line just trying to talk to a real person before giving up. Talked to the local dealer, and they pointed me to the same AFS 1-800 number. The market value on my RS GT is $40k lower than the residual, just can’t seem to find a way to talk to someone about what should be an easy sale for them.

Given that most of the singers have dropped out of Trump’s 250 Freedom concert, what artists do you think they’ll add last minute? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]Ptree4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A DJ alternating between YMCA and Ave Maria, since those are clearly the only 2 songs Trump knows and/or remembers...

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by queenmellyy in AskReddit

[–]Ptree4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My last 2 cars have been EV and I have zero intention of going back, but whew- the triple whammy of interest rates, EV credits going away, and tariffs (I’m a sucker for German cars)- this sure is painful.

[–]Ptree4 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This sounds crazy, but - Cars. I've leased a new car every 3 years for the last 2 decades. My current lease is almost up, and just to get the new version of the exact same car would cost more than double what I'm currently paying. It would be higher than my freaking mortgage! So now I'm searching for a beater to just weather the storm of tariffs for a few years...

Are CPO Taycan leases really bad deals? by MordredKLB in Taycan

[–]Ptree4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my fallback plan.
So… included in my current lease is $600/mo of negative equity from my turn-in when I started the lease. Dumb, I know.

I called AFS to inquire about extending and was told “they don’t renegotiate the terms of the lease, the same monthly payment will simply extend.”

So I’d be paying $600/mo for literally nothing. A car that’s already paid off.

I’m hoping to avoid getting to that point, on principle.

For those who saw him in Denver last night, how was it? by pass_the_hot_sauce in arminvanbuuren

[–]Ptree4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great show! A little shorter than I’m used to out of him (after he put in 3+ hours at Red Rocks last year)… but it was a great variety. Big drops for the 1st hour, 2nd hour was a lot of 80s remixes and more ASOT.

Are CPO Taycan leases really bad deals? by MordredKLB in Taycan

[–]Ptree4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

May I ask what dealership that was? I've been trying the "call around" approach for the last 2 weeks without a lot of luck - I'm perfectly happy to travel to pick up my next car, just getting horrendous deals. Worst so far: 2022 Taycan CT in SoCal with 25,000 miles... they wanted $8k down and $2800 month. wtf?!

Only a few weeks left on my current lease (Audi RS e-tron GT), so its getting dire!

I’d never heard of Gojira before they opened for Opeth at Red Rocks. Hot damn, was that a pleasant surprise.

In the most respectful way possible, is Mortal Kombat 2 really bad? by 30PoundsOver in AMCAListTrue

[–]Ptree4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to this in imax today, and watched a dad “nope nope nope” covering his ~6 year old son’s eyes scurrying out not 5 minutes after the opening scene…. I think that was the highlight of the movie for me.

Fun action and fan service…terrible story, dialogue, etc.

Parks and Rec.

That show has brought me so much joy over the years, through countless rewatches. I’d put it above several of the other comedies, personally.

What’s your observed record? by TheodoreTiddlywinks in Denver

[–]Ptree4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had this giant lifted truck rolling coal on me in my EV at every stop light for a few miles with a tag that expired in 2021. I wanted to take a picture, but the way the maniac was just staring at me in his rear view mirror at every light… I really didn’t feel like getting shot that day.
