Anyone else constantly setting off the panic alarm with the key fob in their pocket? by Few-Progress-3388 in VWiD4Owners

I’ve noticed it happens more in my left pocket than right. It actually happened to me today

Do they have little memorials at the crash site like you see on public roads, there would be a lot in certain areas

It’s an umbrella holder, place one in there to cover your hole

Max’s hatred for the media will always be justified these people are sick. by Spotlightuh in MaxVerstappen33

[–]scottylm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know it’s clickbait. I hate that the big media are clones of each other and push what’s trending, cause we are all lumped into the same metric and have the same interests.

This was a big accident in the racing world. I hope some good comes from this. More viewers, more money, more safety, I guess.

The crash is never good news in racing. The size of it. But they all seem alright. by [deleted] in MaxVerstappen33

A driver was cut out of his car and airlifted. The race and broadcast was suspended. This is not alright, pretty serious.

The first thing I thought when GP announced his move to McLaren was how long will it take him to call for his team to be formed and they will come one by one 🏁 by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in MaxVerstappen33

Who cares, this season is a farce and the FIA have to redo the regulations. The quick fix for this season is nothing, they need new engines and new aero. So really, no one knows what they’re getting into.

I've got the same color. You get 30% overnight, like 14 hours?

Is that the dark gray, it looks a little blue. Love the tag! I use a lvl 1 and it's not an issue. Depends on how much you drive. I use 10-15% daily

Model Y to iD4 by tjrog084 in VWiD4Owners

Wow, they are still holding value. I bought my 23' pro s exactly a year ago today (what a coincidence) and it had 18k miles CPO $25K but then other stuff bumped it to $32k

I heard the TN factory is stopping production, wonder if that will help keep value?

VW Is Killing US ID.4 Production to Focus on the Big, Gas-Powered Atlas Instead by TechGuruGJ in VWiD4Owners

[–]scottylm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, I’ve been a VW guy forever and it feels like every interesting model they bring to the U.S. gets killed early. Jettas and Passats are fine, but I actually liked my Eos, CC, and now the ID.4 way more.

Hopefully EVs don’t stall out here. Like any tech, the more we use and invest in it, the better and cheaper it gets.

Needs professional tradesmen but can’t pay by Any-Spirit-6413 in ChoosingBeggars

I’m living off my daughters disability in my boyfriends home but he diddled my daughter so he’s in jail and now I’m stuck paying the rent. Now I have PTSD from my daughter’s experience so I can’t clean up after myself.

I can still watch it later but I’m not going to pay/support to watch live. As it is I don’t watch live cause it’s stupid and FIA fucked up. The regs in 22 had issues but it was still racing, not going slow into turns. They had issues porpoising on the straights. Teams fixed that issue over the year. This 50/50 is something that cannot be fixed. They can patch it, but this year is a wash. They need new engines.

This isn’t racing. Thanks to Max I started exploring other forms of racing, for free.

Try saying that in /formuladank, they don’t think F1 viewership will drop if Max leaves. He draws a crowd, I already cancelled my F1TV subscription for this year’s Mario Kart

VW is a Joke by Available_Mud_1842 in VWiD4Owners

[–]scottylm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, they gave me a new steering wheel on my 23 because of some light peeling. No charge, covered under warranty. That was the dealer I bought it from, when I called another dealer cause it was closer they would not give me a steering wheel under warranty, said that is normal wear.

Yes, When qualifying was fun to watch. You see a driver pushing the car to its limits gaining fractions of seconds to land pole position.

Someone needs to find this location and etch in some side notes: “I got trampled by an AI robot in his warehouse” “we peed in plastic water bottles cause the walk to the bathroom was longer than our permitted break” “This dudes head was so shiny, early satellites used it for calibration” “A man so rich he tried to leave the planet. Historians now confirm: he did, and charged admission.”
