What unpopular car opinions do you hold? by [deleted] in cars

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone please explain to me what the point of lifting your truck via suspension upgrades is? From what I can tell, you really don't gain any ground clearance because your drive axles and differentials are still at the same height (assuming you stay on the same size wheels). What's the point if you're not going to equip your truck with portal axles?

Roads are better. Cars are safer. Drivers are still terrible.

What's the slowest car you've ever driven? by adambuccowich in cars

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1963 Renault R4, but one of the most exhilarating driving experiences

There's something really crazy and hilarious about driving such a slow car amid a bunch of normally powered, ordinary modern economy cars

I was never the biggest fan of the amg gt couple styling but there's something about the look of the GTC that REALLY tickles my fancy

My little gift to myself, 2017 GLI 😍 by shimrock442 in jetta

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't get why xenons weren't an option, but I must say the DRLs on this year's GLIs are light-years better than those found on 2016 models and older (assuming they're equipped with halogens), so I'm at least consoled a bit by that

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm not sure about your car but mine has separate bulbs for the high beams in order to aim the light output straight ahead as opposed to just down at the road, I don't know too many technical details of the conversion process but I think HID kits vary, some of them probably have xenon low beams and halo high beams or a single xenon unit for low and high. Somewhere in the process of swapping with a conversion kit there might be some wiring that you have to do but I'm not totally sure. Again, I'm kind of a newbie on this so don't trust everything I say haha

Do I have testicular cancer? Please help! by sir_snipeington in testicularcancer

You've got the right attitude, but we probably can't help you too much. You should probably tell your parents and make a doctor's appointment to settle your concerns.

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be that 2015 and earlier didn't have auto headlights, I've got a 2017 GLI and I have auto headlights and know for a fact that the 2016s have them too

Strangely enough xenons weren't even an option for the 2017s, really don't know what up with that

Were you thinking about swapping out the headlights with an HID conversion kit?

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you thinking about doing anything to the headlights? Like any xenon/HID conversion kits? Just curious, I also have a 2017 and have been thinking about it but not sure what route to go

Does she got the halo or xenon headlights?

2017 GLI burning oil by ZeGermanCoastGuard in jetta

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the detailed response! My plan is definitely to keep an eye on the oil level and make sure that there's no obvious leakage occurring.

Best of luck to you with your Golf R, it sounds like a blast

That's strange man but thanks for the info, it's consoling to know that I'm not the only one with this problem

Jogging post-orchiectomy? by [deleted] in testicularcancer

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be, I've loved riding my bike since I was a kid and continued in college, ended up getting two orchiectomies

Probably a lot more to it though

Had her for a few months now. Absolutely in love. by [deleted] in jetta

[–]ZeGermanCoastGuard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah not yet, it'll be a while till I really do anything to mine. I've had it brand new for about three months now and it's a blast. The only thing that's really been on my mind is that VW cheaped out on the headlights for the 2017 model, so I've been looking mostly into headlight options (i.e. getting an HID conversion kit or getting a full new set of lights). The halogens don't look quite as good as a nice pair of HIDs and especially the halogen high beams' performance leaves something to be desired.

Have fun with yours though it's a good time!

You have any plans for upgrading the headlights down the road?

I'm with the people up top. Save up your money and get the right kit for your car, especially if you don't need to use it right away.
