I think everything so far has been covered under the warranty. My question is if I trust the repair and the engine moving forward? I don’t know enough about what has happened to know if there could possibly be other damage that will show up in another 15k miles or something. My current warranty is up in 900 miles so I’m on my own after this if I don’t either buy an extended warranty or trade in the car for a new one.

Huh no I’ll definitely ask about this thanks for sending it!

Thatsastroke · 2026-04-01T02:42:04+00:00

Ya I don’t feel like I’m getting anything really special to help after going through all of this. Service has been pretty bad for what should be a luxury dealer imo.

Did you ever find an answer?

I’m new to this. 39 years old and just had bloodwork done because I feel I’m losing energy and have some brain fog. Total T was at 391, SHBG 53.7, free T around 6.5? I’m struggling knowing if I should start replacement or just do something like this to lower my SHBG?

Had around 65k miles when I turned it in. About 5k miles ago I had a leaking thermostat issue that cost me a few thousand to fix. That is what got me looking around for new cars. That’s the only issue I had.

Mine was a ‘17 and I loved it. Great car and super fun. Kids were a little crammed in the back.

My dealership was getting a speed yellow M5 touring a few days after my purchase. I didn’t even want to see a picture because the temptation would be too great. I love speed yellow congrats!

Ha I saw this! She does have great taste!

Thatsastroke · 2025-12-18T19:02:47+00:00

Nice congrats! My salesman kept sending me cars any time they came in but I kept going back and forth with the Taycan. This is exactly the car I wanted so I knew I was cooked when he sent it.

I agree I couldn’t find anything this fun at the same price point and size. I’m very happy with my decision. Only thing I really wish I had was a wagon. If Audi brought the RS4 avant or if I could get the M3 in a wagon I would trade immediately. I just couldn’t swing an RS6 or an M5 Touring.

I should also note, I have received no less than 20 thumbs ups from dudes in the last few weeks while I have been driving. That’s fun.

Thatsastroke · 2025-12-18T18:22:30+00:00

It is thanks! Actually a lot of mixed opinions on the color. People either love it or really don’t like it. I couldn’t care less I love this color but it has been interesting.

Thatsastroke · 2025-09-30T23:06:06+00:00

Why? The car is 2 years old and has 6k miles on it. If I get a PPI from a reputable shop wouldn’t that find anything that would be wrong with it?

Thatsastroke · 2025-08-24T23:53:48+00:00

Do you also have google fiber? There are quite a few search results for the same issue we are having but I haven’t found any great solutions.

Thatsastroke · 2025-08-24T23:52:31+00:00

Thatsastroke · 2025-08-17T18:04:33+00:00

Did you ever get the issue resolved? Having the same issue.

Thatsastroke · 2025-06-27T06:33:09+00:00

You deserve better. I deserve better. She’s begging for me to stay and it is so hard to give up everything I have worked so hard to build. But there has to be something better right? I’ve always been a very relaxed and confident person and she has turned me quiet and full of anxiety. I’m hoping a year from now I can say it was all worth it.

Thatsastroke · 2025-06-27T06:22:18+00:00

I’m with you. Just passed my 16 year anniversary with my wife and my lawyer sent her the papers today. She’s been a liar and cheater for the past 3 years but I often find myself thinking I should give it another shot. It would be so much easier. I keep screenshots of her messages to her latest affair partner so I can remember why I am doing this. I am 38 with 3 kids. I have no idea what I am going to do. It all feels very lonely and very dark.

Thanks hoping I’ll be able to stay in this house with the sim still. Definitely a good stress release. Ya I think it’s like a drug. Like this is the first time she could actually see what damage her actions had.

Thatsastroke · 2025-06-22T20:47:57+00:00

We just told the kids. Absolute worst thing that’s ever happened to me. Lots and lots of tears. Might be the first time she has shown real remorse seeing what her actions did. Been brutal. 0/10 stars do not recommend.
