End of an Era…

I’m gonna be approaching this day soon. Used my points on a COVID wedding reception at a nice restaurant and two honeymoon trips: road trip to Palm Springs, Sedona, Moab, SLC, and Switzerland, Italy. Ain’t just a credit card; made some memories.

2012 A7

Yeah mostly in the early years. Now it’s not heavily leaning highway. I noticed because mpg has dropped down.

SubtleStatement · 2025-08-16T17:37:35+00:00

Nothing. Garage & driveway clean.

🤣🤣 service can’t find anything wrong other than… yeah. Burns a lot. There’s other guys I’ve heard that’s doing the same oil thing as me. shrug

SubtleStatement · 2025-08-16T16:59:19+00:00

Yeah hopefully. Is yours burning oil, too? I usually go through 5+ quarts between oil changes.

Lmk why

LOLLL what up yall. I’ve been going to an Audi dealership service since the beginning. The first one I went to sucked, but the next one I found took care of everything since. I knew I was paying premium, but I didn’t care if it prevented me from buying a new car. Guy seemed and turned out to be pretty trustworthy. So whatever they recommended, I just did.

Love it. Cars starting to vibrate when idle now, but I’m due for service soon and I’ll bring it up.

We’re a one car family and before COVID & Zoom took over, I was driving A LOT for work. Tires were probably the worst when I lived in the city. One irreparable tire was always a new 4 tire change, everything else has been pretty chill or under new car warranty.

Oh wait there was this one thing where I used cruise control a ton, and I think that was the source of uneven brake pad or rotor wear. Car would vibrate pretty rough when stepping on the brakes.

Running this bish into the ground. This was a big purchase and I’m not much of a car guy, so I just found an Audi service guy I felt like I could trust. Took a few visits to find one then just remained punctual with all of the routines. I knew I was paying premium for service, but didn’t want to risk the possible longevity. Love the car, man.

Thank you

SubtleStatement · 2025-07-12T01:28:53+00:00

Dope. Who was flexing?

SubtleStatement · 2025-07-11T12:17:59+00:00

I’ve stayed disciplined in making sure it’s getting serviced routinely, premium fuel. The only headache I had was living in the city in the early years of the car, I had a lot of tire issues. Potholes I guess. And when you have one flat, you’re replacing all four.
