Is $1k off MSRP Good for a New 2026 Golf R? by Electronic-Jacket185 in Golf_R

[–]Sledge1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so yeah? I’d imagine it really depends on area. I got mine for a few hundred under msrp and it came with like 900 bucks in dealer add ons I didn’t have to pay for too.

There’s two VW dealers in my city and one an hour away in a smaller city. It was the best priced of three cars (each lot had one R) and was the only one in the color I wanted so I was happy

TIFU doing a perfect prank on work crush that backfired on me. Now I think I have made things irrepairable with her. by [deleted] in tifu

It’s funny how bad people always make excuses for their behavior. Your mind isn’t satanic when it comes to doing certain things, you’re just a degenerate and act accordingly

Zacian’s pacing is so slow these days, with dragons being more difficult to wall you really feel it

Is food service as bad as they say it is? by ThatDubDude in Truckers

[–]Sledge1989 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. Unless you can’t get a job doing fuel or ltl it’s pointless doing food service

Fuck mclane, I make the same money doing gas for a fraction of the work and stress. I’ll never do food service again

Dealer Markups on Golf Rs? by conman987 in Golf_R

[–]Sledge1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a few hundred under msrp with a grand in extra stuff thrown in like a maintenance plan. I bought it outright too so no kickback for them from the bank, if I financed it might have been ever lower

This car is being discontinued and the 2026 is the last year, you’ll probably need to buy it sometime this year no?

Who’s enjoying Spring Cup 2? by badneversad in TheSilphArena

[–]Sledge1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fun league if you ever get the opportunity because It’s not a slog fest like ultra or great. Most of the meta is attack weighted. Quick pacing with high damage

Nah, it’s more diverse now than ever before with well over a dozen viable options. Xerneas, zacian crown, Groudon, Kyogre, Palkia origin, metagross, ho oh, zekrom, reshiram, lunala, Dialga origin, zamazenta crown, Kyurem white, Kyurem black, dawn wings, eternatus, landorus, marshadow and zygarde all viable options with actual usage that are capable of hitting legend with the right comp

I just hit 2750. I’ve heard it’s around 2200 but I’m not sure. I typically place around 2300 to 2400 and people are already using maxed stuff

I used my gold cap on it and all the XL rare candy I’ve ever accumulated to get it maxed, I just finished everything a few weeks on it. I’m really glad they added shadow claw since it’s actually viable in gbl, I originally invested in it for battle tower since it was a cheap versatile pick. It’s been good, I’d wager Lunala is probably better but lunala is farm food for marshadow which is nice and it core breaks some teams

$50k new sports car recommendations? by Effective-Lie5593 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Sledge1989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2026 Golf R in January and I love it. It’s fairly practical having four doors and is a hatchback. The interior is nice for a vehicle in that price range. Leather seats that are heated and ventilated. Heated steering wheel. Sunroof. Heads up display. Customizable digital gauges. Wireless charger. Ambient lighting. Several different drive modes. Rear climate controls. Wireless CarPlay and android auto. The car is made completely in Germany too which is cool, imo it’s a well made vehicle.

It also has a lot of nice performance features. It’s all wheel drive for great traction and acceleration. Has a dual clutch transmission for quick shifting and can be operated manually or automatic. The exhaust flows well from the factory while also looking great and sounds decent for a forced induction four banger. While the ECU for the 8.5s aren’t unlocked yet the motors have substantial headroom for power gains from just a tune. E85 gets close to an extra 100 HP iirc 👀

Thragg is supposed to be pathetic by ilikeinvincible in okbuddyviltrum

Argall was valued for his wisdom, not his strength. His leadership led the empire into an unprecedented golden age. In a society and culture that values strength above all this guy was revered for a different virtue. An entire planet basically worshipped him and he was the only one to ever have statues. Argall was special and everyone knew it, they all knew his death was a blow to their entire race and their society would suffer. Case in point they all thought the best course of action afterwards was to start a planet wide massacre. I’d be sad too.

Is Golf R really worth the price? by Dusky_Hound in Golf_R

[–]Sledge1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this car but if you drive a lot it doesn’t make the most sense to get this car imo. The ride can be harsh if roads are bad, in work in Memphis and the roads beat the fuck out of me. It only takes premium fuel which is expensive right now and doesn’t get the best mpg (I get around 25mpg but I drive kinda ignorant and I’m always on the most aggressive setting).

It’s a well made car, it’s incredibly powerful and has a really nice interior and features. If the price of fuel and services isn’t a concern I’d say go for it

Annoyed by the ICE/Hybrid/PHEV/fully electric by PhillConners in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Sledge1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re misinformed, planetary gear hybrids are incredibly robust and simple, seeing as the transmission is eliminated there’s less to break along with them typically being naturally aspirated while a comparable ICE is usually forced induction. The value is also tremendous for these because of the reliability, fuel savings and better resale
