There is this shop in La Canada Flintridge, close by. Gets a lot of good reviews. I took my GTI here ages ago, I think it was like $120 for an alignment. Hmm. I'm not trying to spend $200 and leave my car in Pasadena all day if I can help it but if these guys do it wrong, I'm back to square one. I j...

Hit some epic pothole on the freeway doing like 70 the other day and now Im drifting to the right. Called 2 BMW shops in El A that are held in high regard by the Rolex set and this one can do it this week for $170. I hear thats a good deal for BMW alignment. Supposedly some special german gnomes wi...

sick nuts, rad dick brah, nice

Nice. When I checked out the new Tiguan a few years ago or whenever that was it came out, I drove an Atlas for the hell of it. Was really impressed with the way the car drove for how truly massive it is. Huge SUV that drives like a small crossover and that 6 is smooth as mule's lips. Good car all in...

15k miles, thats respectable. I'm on year 3 in this car with 37k miles but miles have gone up drastically in the past year so I'd say 15k p/yr is a safe projection.

Epic pipes brah.

thats not bad, 27. whats your city/hwy mix?

btw, how many miles do you drive per year roughly?

I also don’t trust tunes on this car. It’s factory tuned, and it is expansive. For example in sport the car idles at 1000rpm vs 780, it also sends more fuel down the exhaust so that’s it “explodes” and pops. That’s engaged with a flip of a switch. These are pretty low production vehicles I don’t tr...

I don't know what you mean. I had a new set all around. 2 of those got side wall bubbles so I got them replaced. The remaining 2 are now worn down to between 3 and 4 32nds, which is time to replace. I am OCD and feel weird about running 2 newish and 2 worn tires on my Camry. Hey GriffBalls, have yo...

1 rear has 7/32 and 1 rear has 4/32 1 front has 7/32 and 1 front has 4/32 U just need a front and a rear @2/32 The fuck u doing I don't know what you mean.

Pepe's Tires & Tacos. Where rubber meets the chorizo. :notbad: Pepe bummed me out yesterday. He said he had the 2 tires i need because at this point I have a set of the staggered good years, 2 of them have 7/32 tread on them and 2 have 4/32 so I wanted to get 2 newish ones, he says he has them,...

I think the base GTI system was the best I've had stock... my Shitvic I blew money on upgrades and it was good. Blose in the C5 is actually pretty decent with an aftermarket HU. The BMW base system is sub par but I mean, it works and :thisisfine: serious brah? i thought the GTI base system was atro...

Yessir. I try to look at it like anything that is almost worthless after a certain amount of time. Like the 55" UHD smart TV I bought when smart TVs were new, for like $1000 that would sell for like $50 now. But I can drive it to work and to the store and shit. Gotta get 2 more bro flats from P...

185? Hp I think. The cx5 is more like 9 sec to 60. With the AC on and another passenger it’s closer to 10. I find it annoying but not quite dangerous. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15108026/2016-mazda-cx-5-25l-awd-test-review/ Still, although our test vehicle’s 7.7-second zero-to-60 t ime s...

sales tax is on the payoff amount i.e. the cost of the car. thats tacked on and that gives you the final amount and then your down payment reduces that. its too boring and intricate to explain. Basically instead of taking the payoff amount, giving that over to my credit union and then paying my cred...

no. i did the math wrong.. the amount paid was off the residual, then they apply the $4k price reduction etc. and that is the amount I finance w/the credit union. In the end, it saved me about $150.

: (

The plot thickens. I was about to just take the payoff quote to the credit union and put $8k down and call it a day but if I instead pay BMW the down payment of $8k and get a revised payoff quote, I'll be paying sales tax on the reduced amount vs. the orig payoff amount, effectively saving myself $9...

good answer!

The cash is earning 2% in an online savings account. we're talking cash here. I always need lots of cash because I'm hemorrhaging $$ with this current separation with the ex and 2 children. So I should really be buying a $5k Camry but we've covered that I'm a dipshit, so lets not harp on that. We kn...

theres some pictures, now I know. Sick! going to the credit union today or tomorrow to buy this piece of shit. what are everyone's feelings on down payments? I was looking at like $7500 down. Was orig gonna do $10k but the extra $2500 in my pocket now is the difference of like 20 bucks of month or s...
