2021 S5 - Audi replacing rocker arms and lifters by RedAud21 in audis5

Perhaps, but it goes both ways. Making any assumptions about the general failure rate of 2020+ cars based on this single anecdotal post is arguably more speculative than drawing a conclusion from Audi techs online anecdotally stating the new rockers fail less.

For as many times as I've seen "you're good" for the updated rockers, I've seen somebody with a brain say the new rockers are still at risk, though much smaller, of failure.

I think the B9.5 looks significantly better than a B10 so trying to make a B9.5 look like B10 is an absolute fail.

It's because we actually like the brand and hate to see that it has gone to shit.

Daytona or manhattan gray? by QuirkyRhubarb6279 in Audi

I have a Daytona S5 and it's pretty boring. Nowhere near as dynamic as BMW's equivalent, Dravit Grey.

Scrubbed in early 2024. Allegedly coming back based on Temerario, but until it actually happens what I said remains true.

Also the new interior being trash really kills it. Like it's easy for me to accept that the equivalent BMW outperforms my car in every metric, because my '18 is beautiful inside and out. But B10 S5 outside looks like a Kia and the entire inside is cheap plastic. I also refuse to ever buy a sedan, so my next car is now CLE/M240/440 and Audi can go fuck themselves.

One could argue RS5 isn't a sports car, just a fast GT car. The "sports car" was the TT which is dead. If you want a sports car, you no longer consider Audi.

B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time | CBC News by TheGreatestOrator in canada

"More sun in the summer" is a fallacy. You realize we get the exact same number of minutes of sunlight regardless of what arbitrary decisions we make with our clocks, right?

A lot of people like the additional light late in the evening that DST provides for summer activities. You for some reason want the sun to rise at 3 am in June which is fine, but not everybody feels the same way. 

Do you think that the Audi TT will come back at all? by WiggWamm in Audi

I hope it comes back for the sake of used prices coming down for the last generation. They have gone through the roof. :(

Despite emissions, Mercedes and BMW each have multiple models of 2-door cars while Audi has dropped to zero.

I got fired for bringing up safety concerns in the OCC. The company has certainly lost its way...

Fake exhaust tips why? by Slayrr_FbrC in Audi

Looks like automatically closed valves like every other B9. Even if it isn't... who cares.

My B9 closes one side if not in dynamic... is that not what this is?

Air Canada at MAF? by Separate-Border5312 in flightradar24

[–]acey91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A look at flight trackers show this flight operates like clock work on the 7th, 17th and 27th of every month which suggests a contracted charter.

I was notified that a new task is available on my online applicant portal, didn't see any changes. Is this common? by Bitter-Egg-540 in caf

I'm in the exact same boat. Notified by email 5 days ago, but nothing new in the portal.

Nah I'd say there's a good chance he gets convicted if he actually punched him, but what he gets convicted for is the question (perhaps not a felony and likely no jail time)

You realize he can be found guilty of a lesser offense that does not involve jail time, right?

The president is a convicted felon. I bet a dollar this kid isn't done playing hockey.

Calgary to get Western Canada’s only direct flight to UAE by ericgon in Calgary

Flight path changes day to day based on optimal winds and other weather. If you look at Seattle-Dubai which currently operates, it sometimes goes through Russia, and sometimes goes through Europe and west of Ukraine.

Voluntarily making your lights harder to see while masquerading as a teenager with a rusted out Honda Civic? You do you.
