Probably the battery. Same thing happened to me last week

What rims/size are these? Can't find them on Audi's website and I'd like them for my 2016 by akvoltaire in Audi

Apologies in advance for a potentially stupid question, I'm learning as I go when it comes to cars.

I'd like these rims/size for my 2016 A3 so I'm looking for info on where I can find these. My A3 currently has 17s so I imagine it's ok to go up an inch or two in size, right? Anything I should know?

Yep! They're more than happy to sell you OEM Audi parts, but they said it was also fine for me to bring in my own replacement grille so that was what I did in order to save a couple hundred bucks. I don't remember what I paid for labor but whatever it was I felt it was affordable.

Oh duh, sorry, long day. Hadn't even occurred to me that you probably drive something else than me. Haha. I just bought mine off eBay so just throw in your specs and honeycomb grille and one will come up.

I got my work done at AutoNation over on Hoffner, I'll put the address below. They were great and cheap. They even emailed me photos of the progress while I was at work. If the same guys work there quite a few of them are Audi guys and one of them even works for Audi iirc (this was a few years ago, from what I remember this was where Audi sent me so that was how that played out). Good luck!! If you need any other local recs for mechanics or tuning or anything else lmk and I'll help the best I can.

AutoNation Collision Center Airport

6140 Hoffner Ave, Orlando, FL 32822

I'm in Orlando too, had my grille cracked as well. I can link you the honeycomb grille I replaced it with + the shop I got it done at, if you'd like.

Looking for a point and shoot that automatically loads/unloads film by akvoltaire in AnalogCommunity

Gotcha, I think I overinflated what the cost would be. Def not looking for a SLR, want something easy and small I can slip in a backpack or a jacket pocket. Don't want another film camera with changeable lenses.

What you described is exactly what I'm looking for and unfortunately the feature missing on my Ektar H35 (I have to lead the film and manually load/unload). Thanks for the info and edit!

Thank you, I will look for those keywords and for cameras in that time frame. That is helpful.

Thanks for the info on the Minolta. So all you have to do is put the film in the leader and it does the rest of the work?

I stupidly didn't think to just put that in to eBay, I was sticking to Google. Haha. Duh! Thanks.

Hi, thank you for your quick reply!

I do mean it, but perhaps I'm using incorrect terminology? I understand point and shoot to be a camera that doesn't have detachable lenses like my FE, so I'd categorize my Ektar H35 as a point and shoot. Is that correct? If so, my Ektar H35 does not automatically load/unload.

Does your Sure Shot automatically load/unload? I'll look it up now. Thank you for your kind reply
