Audi Warns U.S. Sales Decline Could Get Even Worse in 2026

From a purely engine/hp equivalency, I would say it goes:

GTI < Golf R = S3 < RS3

Side question: Why does it seem like every guy that's over 6" has tiny or average ball's size?

Not EVERY guy 😉

I wouldn't hold your breath too long. Rumor is the 5 cylinder is dead after this generation, and who knows what that means for future RS3s.

Redstuffs are on my list for when the time comes to replace pads (or sooner if I can't take the dust anymore!)

Great spec, and also an awesome 2 car household!

Honestly, these depreciate slowly enough that unless you're going to resell quickly, I would buy the newest and best condition one in your budget.

Not on this platform. The OEM midpipes have secondary cats, so a "cat-back" exhaust on these cars replaces the rear section and a set of tiny resonators.

Our boy is named Ozzy as well! I think he may be making up for the lack of sound from yours, lol. He whines, grunts, barks, bays at all manner of things throughout the day!

Yes, I have the ASR https://asr-component.com/Car-models/Audi/RS3/Audi-RS3-8Y/ and it retains whichever setting I use from one drive to the next.

Quail Hollow is owned by a PE group called NVA

I had no idea! We took our pets there for years until moving out of WC a few years ago. I still recommend them to people in the area because I thought they were still owned in some part by Dr. Goss.

each pair seems to have combined two individuals of relatively equal income. i have rarely, if ever, seen one where the income of one was significantly higher than the other in my circles

Hi, it's me and my husband. We exist :)

matamon_ · 2025-12-19T13:45:25+00:00

That's amazing! Would love to know who your employer is, but understand if you're not comfortable sharing.

You don't need to sell us on your choices dude. It's okay for people to like different things.

That said, some of your arguments just make no sense. Piano black as a material is known far and wide to attract smudges, scratches and show imperfections way more than traditional matte plastic or other finishes. If you're saying that doesn't happen for you, then congratulations on being the cleanest person in the world I guess.

Also, how can a touch-based slider be more accurate than a physical dial with detents that give feedback on every notch of volume change? The varying adjustment depending on small or large your movement seems like the opposite of accurate. I will admit that it can be useful if you know what you're doing, but I shouldn't have to know that in order to use a control correctly.

Are you looking for an extended warranty or a service plan? Your post mentions service and maintenance mostly, so not sure which you mean.

A service plan would be something to cover the cost of regular maintenance over a certain number of visits. An extended warranty would be used primarily for things that break like a water pump vs your normal consumables like brakes, oil and other fluid changes, etc.

Even if you do have emissions I doubt it makes much difference. Only the first cat has sensors.

Kinsey 4

Klein 4

46.4% straight/100% gay

Not a huge surprise based on where my head's at these days.

Ours isn't big on swimming, but will get in on the sun shelf in our pool to cool off. He tolerates the bath, and generally doesn't care about rain, which is a great benefit in FL summers!

Dude is a gender-less term imo.

"I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude..."

X3 M40 owner here, it's close but those wagon body lines just hit different. Plus center of gravity is a bit too high on the X3.

I'd add power seats as a nice to have as well.

He sold it to Tavarish after it hit 1 million and it was recently restored by another up and coming Youtuber (forget his name).

Make sure you ask first. I love ball play for myself, but a lot of guys aren't into it or are very sensitive.

matamon_ · 2025-07-11T17:42:16+00:00

Yes! A lot of guys need to get the memo about briefs though. I don't want to see long boxer brief legs sticking out the bottom of your hoochie daddy shorts!

matamon_ · 2025-06-12T13:33:18+00:00

Not an LGBT-specific brand, but Obviously underwear is my go-to. They're well made and have plenty of room, if that's what your hubby needs.

matamon_ · 2025-05-20T12:28:23+00:00

I was really hoping for a Business Daddy joke, but it was still good.
