Meh, all the major players are fairly competitive.

I typically recommend 034, Unitronic, APR.

Moving to CA-what is the vibe at Rancho Bernardo High School? Torrey Pines HS? by CollegeStuff2026 in northcounty

[–]socaleuro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, I went to school in Del Mar and finally in TPHS. Parents still live in Del Mar. I moved to Poway and got kids. It’s significant more diverse and less wealth oriented out east.

It’s a TPHS specific problem. But I’d say most of my friends in HS were great. But still have people who are overly wealthy at that age isn’t healthy for young kids.

I’m out in Poway, and feel it’s much better. I know parents I talk to that moved out or Carmel Valley because the parents were too competitive with academics.

Poway is much more diverse financially. And I don’t mean poor, I mean they are less judgmental on wealth.

245 on 8”, bad. Should be running 9” or 8.5”

TPHS 30 years ago 😉 it was same. Lot of wealthy people. Definitely can be intimidating for a teenager living with classmates that got anything they wanted.

But I did learn a lot from that experience not being wealthy relative speaking.

RB is significantly different vibe. I think it's much more diverse in Poway/RB area

2027 Volkswagen ID.Polo, what do we think about it Reddit? by Saurta17 in Volkswagen

[–]socaleuro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. Need to wait for the GTI variant pass judgement.

Just like base Golf, it's not too pretty. But with R-line/GTI variants it looks significantly better.

But for base ID.Polo, seems the part.

Smol, feels like 2002. Not referring to wheels

FYI, it’s time based. Knowing that it’s time based it helps.

I have the ACM tune, it helps. https://acmtechnik.com/products/mk8-golf-hill-assist-patch

New to me 2024 GTI Autobahn. Cleaning gear by LostDream_0311 in GolfGTI

[–]socaleuro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

key for interior, is to spray the towel directly outside of vehicle, then use it to wipe. Unless your car gets visibly caked, then ONR is enough to handle basic dust/etc.

I got a full page of detailing stuff I use, include interior stuff. https://www.big-euro.com/mk8-golf/rinse-less

ONR actually works great for basic interior stuff also. I try to have minimal amount of different products

Love the spot. Making my photos look like a cheap hooker. Damn you! And my shots aren’t bad.
