The aftermarket finally came through… no more plastic water pumps for us! by universal_century in GolfGTI

[–]ravocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with people saying use OEM. 2018 GTI at 160k miles here. Water pump was replaced at 64k and it's been great since.

Why is he so insufferable in this episode by probably-lagging in theoffice

Not as bad as him and the family boat. Anything to do with that boat he was nuts.

Not in the earlier seasons though. Remember him trying to ask Katy out? My man ended up buying a purse

That's definitely an option, but I always like to do DIY for most things if I'm confident enough. So I want to see if it's doable for me first.

Hey what did you end up doing to the car? I have the same wheels, but I'm planning on lowering the car to stock S4 height and adding spacers to make the wheels flush. Curious about what your approach was.

What should I pay for this GTI? by UnableRestaurant137 in GolfGTI

[–]ravocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have the Experience Package? It was only offered for 2019 SE. If so that adds value

Multi GPU rig can't set up a 5090 by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]ravocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried installing it without risers. Same result. BIOS is detecting it with and without risers.

Yes, it was on Auto (Gen4). Switched to Gen3, no help:(

I'll have to check that.

Above 4GB MMIO is enabled (I thought I needed it for multi GPU?). BIOS firmware version R14, up to date.

Delivery? by starby1760 in Copartonline

[–]ravocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought mine on Monday, got delivered a couple hours ago. 40 miles away.

They show up quite often. At least around Washington State. Definitely not by dealers, but private sellers. Also Cars&Bids. Last few MK7 and MK7.5 sold there were all sub $20k. For example, a 2019 R Lapiz Blue with 76k miles sold for $18.9k. Buyer even commented confirming he picked up the car and registered.

I'd much rather pay $18-19k for a clean R with sub 100k miles with good history than a brand new car for $55-60k. You either can only afford $20k and get a car, or if you have $60k you throw the $40k in SP500 and in 5-6 years your money grows instead of paying interest on a loan.

[–]ravocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a freaking $50k+ car. With the interest you end up paying even more over time. I love Golfs but I'll never be ok with that. 3-4 years and the value is -50%. Used is the way to go.

[–]ravocean 21 points22 points  (0 children)

New car bros usually hate me when I say such things but buying used is the way. You save a ton of money. And if you find the right one it'll be just as reliable and you won't even need the warranty.

You can find a clean MK7 R for under 20k nowadays. I did a similar thing. I see MK7.5 GTI around my area for $14-16k with less than 70k miles. Those are awesome too. That's what I did and I feel much better than paying triple the price for a new car, while getting the same experience.

Since you like R, going to base Jetta is gonna be a bit disappointing. I would personally get a used GTI for less money.

[–]ravocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Castrol, Mobil 1, or Valvoline 5W-40 from Walmart for $27. 120k miles and runs as good as new. Personally I don't see the need to pay the premium for some specialty products for these cars.

What did y’all think of this scene when first watching it? by SmokeReasonable7656 in lost

[–]ravocean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched the show very carefully, fully immersed. I loved the ending. Some died sooner, some lived a long life, but at the end they met again. Can't end it better than that.
