In shopping the Alltrack and posting about it on Oppo, somewhere I said, “Now would be the perfect time for an oxford green E39 M5 with the extended tan leather to pop up on my radar. Then I sell the Ranger and the M3 and live happily ever with the most fun big car ever.” I said that because I was having a hard time…
TIL a clutch delay valve is a thing that exists and is apparently the reason why the clutch pedal in my Alltrack feels so wonky (apart from being new). It’s super easy to remove, however it requires bleeding the clutch.... Here’s the threaddy on it.
Had the car less than 24 hours annnnnd, MODZ:
What a damned roller coaster! I wasn’t “seriously” looking but was lured in by the dealer that sold a 2019 GTI to my mother. They had a Green/Brown Alltrack that I really liked but sold before I could look at it, then I discovered that they had another. It too was sold before I could look at it. So I made an…
The VW Sales guy texted to say that the car won’t be ready by our agreed upon time, and it’s an automatic, not a manual.....
Tomorrow at lunch I’m set to drive a blue 3 pedal VW Golf Alltrack. Normally this is a confident end of the road for me. I picked the car, I just have to drive it and buy it. This is a little different because I definitely won’t be buying this car because it isn’t green. To further complicate matters, I’m normally 98%…
If I buy an Alltrack, it will be the 16th road legal vehicle that I have purchased in my 18 years of being a licensed driver. Out of all of those, I have had one halfway decent experience ironically enough at the same dealer that I am working with now.
I sweat BaT as I know a lot of you do. I have alerts setup for certain cars, and I normally breeze through the whole list once a day. Every once in a while I miss a cool one until the last day.
They sold it. They found another at a nearby dealer, same options but they want a deposit before they’ll transfer it so I can drive it. I’m not really into laying money down before I’ve even driven a car like this (it’s not that special, haha). Option #3 arrives in 3 weeks-ish. Same spec except it’s got a the…
JKM went on about trucks for-ev-er before he actually bought one. We go unnecessary car shopping with E90M3 all the time. Let’s face it all of us are car shopping all of the time. With that said, you’ve probably seen at least one of my many “I’m gonna by a Dad car now” posts, and this is...more or less another one of…
It was my first one as a father and it was perfect. My wife and I woke up late in a fancy hotel in Manhattan, had a quick bite and drove home to pick up our daughter. My little girl got me a front strut brace for the 02 along with a few new dress shirts and a new book for her and I to read!
Not me personally, but my 75 year old mother. Currently she’s got a three pedal R56 Cooper S in BRG, and a three pedal C5 in silver. She has been wanting to replace the Cooper to make it easier for her to get my daughter in and out of the car. I wish I had room for the cooper, there are only 30k miles on it and I’m…
I hopped on over to the local craigslist, to click “cars+trucks”, type “custom car” and see how many people know what they have...
It is super nice out. So I went for a quick drive and a quick stroll and got some car pics. Over the weekend I removed and plugged an old leaky temp sender, repaired the wind shield sprayer tank and replaced the lines, and finally installed a breather tank/catch can. So I wanted an excuse to drive it and make sure…
Could someone please help me understand these torque values?
The headlights in the 02 are not good. I have found two kits from “Dapper Lighting” and I am ready to pull the trigger on one. So lighting pros and other Oppos with oppinions... What say ye?
I packed it in again this weekend. I got both the M3 and the 02 super shiny at the same time and took some pics. I spent Saturday with the baby which started with swimming class. Saturday night the baby and I met up with my wife and some friends. Sunday, we went to brunch and a local car show with some friends, then…
Just the outsides. Wash, clay, wash, wax. Then I borrowed my wife’s googleyphone to snap some pictures. A side story that some of you more seasoned parents will enjoy because I’m a new parent....
