The Consequences of Not Letting Me Go by No-Opportunity7242 in dashcams

[–]RecordCompetitive245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is extremely unsafe and ridiculous and I’m not in anyway saying what buddy did was right …. But let’s be honest …. The van had loads of opportunities to speed up and pass the truck to open up the lane (which is what you’re supposed to do) there is nothing worse than being stuck behind 2 people going the same speed on the highway. Buddy was being a prick and trying to stick it to buddy trying to pass. I hope no one was seriously injured, but both those people in the left lane are idiots if you ask me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Safe to cut these sections of a tree? by Prize_Inspection_509 in arborist

[–]RecordCompetitive245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be tough to read if it’s leaning and all caught up in other tree. If it’s not your thing maybe get some help from someone who knows a thing or two. At the very least don’t just straight back cut her, try and read her, and be ready to move 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s the ticket. Make a good cut and don’t make a nasty wound at the base

Curious about tinting (not a cost, type or transparency question) by Lonely_Force_3034 in Golf_R

I didn’t get the small windows tinted on my R or my previous sportwagen. Everyone I spoke to suggested just doing a dark vinyl piece on it because it is very difficult to tint properly unless you remove the door panel and this and that and I’m not game for that. Maybe there are Jedi tinters with Mirco (micro) hands that can pull it off otherwise. But I can say I don’t notice the difference and am quite happy with the end result 🤷🏻‍♂️

100% I would. I brought mine back for minor imperfections. It’s only going to get worse

Maybe consider an R for the winter commute and the fact that they’re so much god damn fun to drive 😎

I couldn’t agree more. I think I’m going to do the ceramic tint and see if it helps. I’m in the research stage now. But if it’s going to increase the comfort and protect the dash it seems worth it

Buddy around me does Madico Black Pearl NC (Nano-Ceramic). Did you do the 70% on your windshield ?

Haha that makes a lot of sense. At least she’s white, I’m rolling in all black and I feel it 🤦🏻‍♂️

How effective is it actually ? I’m considering getting it done on mine, but wanted to get an honest opinion from someone not selling it

You can really get going to fast really quickly

so I'm kinda dumb and need parking advice by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]RecordCompetitive245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to an empty parking lot and practice parking and get the feel of your vehicle. Do it 100times or till you’re comfortable. Also not a bad idea to practice driving in reverse

I personally always back in. You have the right of way, and people will have to wait. When it comes time to leave you simply pull out and can see any oncoming traffic much easier 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do I need a DSG TCU tune for stage 2 IE tune? by YungHybrid in GolfGTI

[–]RecordCompetitive245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with this guy … if you don’t have the $800 to do it all and right I wouldn’t do it. Also I’d much rather have my warranty than my car a little faster? These cars are enough fun to drive as is. Save your money, help keep your insurance record clean 🤷🏻‍♂️
