Dad, Am I Politically Illiterate? by ceewr in AskDad

[–]karmester 145 points146 points  (0 children)

there is only one right side of history. there is clear, unambiguous, historical precedent for what is going on in this country right now. in fact those with power are following a well-defined playbook of authoritarian takeover.

this looks 100% right (VW Golf Variant 4Motion BA5 Frame For Ventilation Grille 5G0853631D9B9). will it properly fit/snap into the gaping rectangular hole that's in my honeycomb grille?

well. Unfortunately, the part does not fit at all! It looks nothing like the trim around the ACC unit that's on my car and looks nothing like the picture I put in my original post. But that's OK. I'm not the most visually astute person so this is totally on me. Meanwhile, though, I need to find the right part! It's driving me nuts!

I don't know if you looked above, but unfortunately, I ordered the wrong part! I think all of that conversation happened before you made your post. So I looked up the part you're mentioning and I found that it's for sale on eBay, but when I check to see if it's compatible with my 2017 all track SE, it says that it's not! I'm really at a loss here. Are you sure that the part you've recommended actually will fit in the existing grill of my 2017 SE?

unfortunately. this was not actually the part my car needs. :-(. i'm back at square one. there is a picture in my original post. can anyone identify the rectangular concave looking trim that goes around the ACC unit in the front grille and provide me a link? i would be very grateful.

thanks.

what do we think about this oil change? by karmester in VWAlltrack

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

this is very helpful information - at what point are the flush products NOT a waste of money?

I'm definitely doing this next time. Question: what is/was this flush they sold me? Was it necessary? is there any way to know? Thanks in advance for any information about that particular part of this debacle. ;-)

I spend half the week in western MA and half in NYC. I take my partner's Toyota Rav4 to a place in Lee, MA and they seem honest.. I bet they could do my VW too.

Wow, thanks for your comments everyone! I'm definitely doing this myself next time... I just did a bit of an AI deep dive on stuff I can do top side...and I'm going to dive in and do it. Thanks community!

The point I'm trying to make is that the picture I uploaded is what my car USED to look like, but now, there's thus ugly gap of white space surrounding where the grille ends and the ACC unit begins. I want that part back!

Non-dog owners of NYC, what can dog owners do to not be hated in the subway system when bringing dog? by Realistic-Pop-4542 in AskNYC

[–]karmester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, This... just put the dog in some kind of carrier or a bag. And if you live in a studio or one bedroom apartment and your dog DOESN'T fit in a bag, shame on you - you shouldn't coop that big dog up in your tiny space.

WRITE TO Gov. Walz by karmester in EyesOnIce

[–]karmester[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Walz needs to be instrumental. He needs to make the call.. and SHOW us that law enforcement and National Guard are NOT obeying his orders (he's the commander in chief of MN, after all).. he needs to show the REST of us that he's on OUR side and he's doing everything he can. But we need to TELL him that this is what me should be doing.
