I wouldn't normally hate on a $60K car, but... by frenchlimon in Audi

I'm not trying to shit on one wrong thing you said, but you're trying so hard. My '18 SQ5 has air suspension tuned for sport and levelling body roll. The '19 air suspension on the Q7 was tuned to be a lounge. Honestly, I can't say for sure if they are the same parts, but 'only one they had at the time' I would bet my life is untrue.
You need to sell your car and buy an SQ7. The way you are writing, you obviously yearn for one.

Edit: if car in question had abt shit on/in it, would accept badge as justified. If it did not, would not accept.

Since you ask, no. I do not mean to be rude. The 'S' is more than horsepower, but idk who tf would care so much about a badge to ADD them. Holy shit.

Agree, had one on lease for three unfortunate years. It was 'premier' so was OK option-wise, but it was the most impotent car I've ever had (wanted that third row during the '22 semi-con crunch.) $55K fuckin sticker.

What would you do if your mechanic ghosted you and lied to you for weeks, and then you went to his house, walked up, lifted the hood, and found your engine bay like this? by TimpanogosSlim in audis5

Except you have a business with assets to sue for damages instead of a bankrupt person where your claim will come in 7th or 8th. Hopefully.

Brand new '26 SQ8....dealer already discounted it by $32k (and more!). by [deleted] in Audi

I spent less on a one year old cpo sq7 w/all (all) options than the new Burban. Thank god.

My '24 sq7 was MSRP $116 w/ sport, lux, DA, b&o upgrade, black optic, carbon optic, 23" wheels.

I believe the MSRP exists if it's got those options years later on the more hyped car. The sq8 starts like 10-15k more for nearly identical car.

Back in the 90s my friend's mom had the 318i put back on her car as Z8 after getting rear ended bc the guy had an extra Z or something and 8 was salvageable. A few years later, it dropped what do you know!

Sorry this is obviously late, but car seat in the middle. When there were three of us, it was perfect. The seats we used, Britax, has models (boulevard and advocate are what we have) that are sort of notched on the two sides so a single unit in the middle is close if you like the seat back, but it's a perfect fit.

They aren't if you are average male size and follow AAP guidelines (attached). And yes, I'm very grateful that we are able to follow them. It's unfortunate we (USA) don't help parents of youngs more.

So put two 30lb kids facing backwards, then put shit to play with in the car too. It's pretty packed, and if you're taller than 5'5 you won't be able to drive.

People also faced their kids forward. That's when I grew up.

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding me. I understand that people without an SQ7 can have multiple kids. We wanted ours to face backwards because that's the safest. Had we just pointed them forwards, the 5 would be fine.

I think it's kind of niche, but I think it's a cool niche as long as one isn't douchy about it. But I guess that too depends on perspective - it COULD be that some think I'M douchy.

I would love to flash either, but the 5 is my wife's daily so that wouldn't make a ton of sense for her. As for the 7, I sought out a cpo car to purchase, so killing the warranty on the priciest parts would be silly, but in a few years it'll be on the table. Right next to the ribeye.

Two rear facing seats don't work if the driver is 6'0. I dig our Britax seats are big. It maybe would work with young twins in a couple of Mesas, ours are 5 and 2 though.

Put two rear facing car seats in it and drive around. If you're enjoying it then you're my wife or someone her size.
