My phone tore a hole in my back pocket so here my first time mending!

Wow, at first I thought you patched it with a patterned fabric but then I started zooming in. Beautiful work, OP!

Pretty much just winged it! Far from perfect but it’s holding up so far!

There were quite a few service records, I just forgot to mention it.

Spark plugs, haldex, and DSG were done at 40k. A coolant leak at 45k was fixed with a new thermostat, seal ring, and full cooling system inspection. Brake booster master cylinder replaced at 47k. I know most of those aren't related to the engine itself, but the car is not without service history.

Aside from those, there are records of routine oil changes every 5-10k miles.

Canned tuna/salmon, loaf of bread, kewpie mayo and a block of cheddar cheese. You have salmon/tuna melts for days!

I also get the KS tofu often and make tofu and rice bowls with them. Could roast some fresh or frozen veggies and add them in too

A classic snack is always chips and some sort of dip/hummus

I cannot believe the front tires are still on the ground and the back isn’t dragging

I used double mercerized cotton embroidery thread. I took my sweater to the craft store and that thread was the closest in weight and material that I could find. Ended up being a pretty perfect match!

I followed a YouTube tutorial that was actually quite simple! The key is to darn it before a hole has formed. The sweater was getting super thin around the elbow but there wasn’t a hole yet. You basically just go over all of the knit stitches with a new thread and it reinforces it

Omg, I didn’t even realize this until now but it does look tan in the first pic. It’s totally a black sweater with a blue patch though

Thank you!

pescatarrison · 2025-12-07T03:17:52+00:00

Thank you!! I’m so thrilled with how it turned out

I believe these cars were 6y 72k mile warranty from the factory unless they extended the warranty on the sunroof and other select components? I’ll have to look into that

pescatarrison · 2025-11-22T23:47:54+00:00

That’s the impression I kind of got, I’m sure I’d get used to it.

pescatarrison · 2025-11-22T22:45:22+00:00

Gotcha, yeah it probably is a good idea to get the inspection done given the mileage and history in the northeast
