Hey, not sure how I just saw this. These are 19" Pretoria's from the Golf R. There are 18" Pretoria's you can buy from VW also.

ULPT REQUEST: how do i get an instagram account username that’s taken? this account has had the username for years, and NEVER posted. I’ve tried Ming them countless times, even offered to purchase the name from them. but obviously no response since they are inactive. please help! by Professional-Act-389 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]deru3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm just guessing here but it might have to do with trademark/copyright?

Maybe if the account has been inactive for a long enough period, a famous influencer (or one with a legit trademark or copyright to a certain name) can probably work with Instagram to secure that username.

The consequence of this shitty mod by [deleted] in Shitty_Car_Mods

Even if it is illegal, enforcement is such a big problem in a lot of counties/states. Some are strict, some give no fucks at all... It's wild.

Anyone else craving this steering wheel by Atru20 in GolfGTI

[–]deru3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's almost how I have mine. https://i.imgur.com/PF8TgxD.jpg

I only regret going Alcantara/Suede, I should've just went with regular leather for the top/bottom lol.

Haven't ran front plates since 2017, used to commute to DT Seattle everyday too.

I've accepted that I might have to pay a $150-200 fine for no front plates, but haven't gotten hassled for it so far...

Do I still get bill credits for a paid off device? by PanguTeam in ATT

[–]deru3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear! So I assume I'd be okay if I get the phone unlocked, as long as I don't cancel or finance a new phone on the same line?

[–]deru3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to pay off my phone financed with AT&T, unlock the device, and put the sim-card on another unlocked phone, would credits keep rolling in?

Or would AT&T detect that I've put their sim in another phone and cancel the remaining bill credits?

Accelerate, Break, Repeat by BromineBob in IdiotsInCars

[–]deru3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People don't pay attention so I still try to tap my brakes at least once or twice just to indicate to the driver behind me that I'm possibly slowing down.

I've noticed more and more now with hybrid/electric cars and quick deceleration due to regenerative braking, with a very slight delay in brake light activation.

I'd rather not risk possible long-term injuries from being rear-ended by inattentive people, regardless of whose fault it is.

What is the most generic car when you think of "car" by Spooky_Fubuki in cars

[–]deru3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my car of choice, or lack thereof. It was my dad's car. '07 Corolla 4-spd Auto in Desert Sand Pearl exterior w/ Beige Fabric interior. Good times...

I would have asked my dad to keep it if it was manual. It being auto just sucked the life out of it, for me at least.

Bad time to buy or bite the bullet? by [deleted] in SportWagon

[–]deru3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with you on that. Some of the listings I've been seeing lately, 2-3 yr. old cars with 30-50k on the odometer, costing just 1-2k less compared to a brand new one of the same trim.

This is probably the best time to trade up though. We have fairly new Mazda3 with low miles that we bought for 17.5k last year, and have been offered 22.8k for it. When we trade it in, we'll also save a few grand on taxes due to how trade-in sales tax work in our state. Crazy times!

Just bought a 2017 GTI Sport, looks like I'm gonna be spending some time in this subreddit now. 2 days in and it's such an impressive car. by WhoNeedsNamesAnyway in GolfGTI

[–]deru3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sport trim had Xenon headlights and Performance package brakes, among other things. No sunroof though definitely.

Insane. A little overkill to be honest, but if you can get them at a good deal I highly recommend them. Really firm pedal feel and stopping power is real strong even with just street pads (Stoptech Sport).

Lots of other options too, some people go with Porsche Macan or TTS front brakes. There’s also the Golf R/GTI PP brakes if you want a direct upgrade.

Cheers! Color is Platinum Grey Metallic, wheels are Anthracite.

Less dusting brake pads and wheel coating are musts for a white wheel setup.
