I like the Bronco, I even cross shopped it before I bought the new Honda Passport. It's sweet but, pricey and not as daily driver friendly.

I enjoy my mental illness.

Friend of mine is shopping for a Golf R to replace his GR86. Dealers are adding a 5k markup to them, and the MSRP is already 50k+ One dealer wanted nearly 60k. That's nearing CT4 BW money! https://www.dublinvolkswagen.com/viewdetails/new/wvweb7cd9sw211169/2025-volkswagen-golf-r-hatchback God...

Gen X is to blame.

I like my creature comforts but, when I want to fly on manual control I want that option.

Sidenote: I'm a millennial (albeit an early millennial) and I'll be 40 this year. We old now.

Even BMW, Volkswagen and Audi is going away/has gone away from manuals. It's what the buyers want, sadly. I understand it on the C8 since they spent all the money on developing a new DCT transaxle. It's a good unit as well. It's one of the reasons I got my 1LE when I did, because it was on the...

I may switch to those, Bobistheoilguy has some great reviews on the ACDelco filters over Wix XP.

Millennial here, I'd have a manual everything if you could get a truck with three pedals these days.

The dealership would only use an oil sample to deny a warranty. Unless there is a diagnosable issue, they're not going to do anything, agreed.

You really need multiple samples to get good data. Tracking an increase in certain metals over time can indicate wear. I agree that a good ear can detect a lot before it's an issue, I just like to jam out too much. It's also too hot here to not have the windows up and the A/C on.

So you're telling me the pills DON'T work?! :(

Yup. I do 5k intervals, or after heavy use, like a trip to the tail of the dragon. I use 5w40 for that since I see higher oil temps.

I'm running LiquiMoly 5w30/40 depending on use. https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/us/molygen-new-generation-sae-5w-30-p001757.html#tab-label-approvalsandspecifications-title

Yes and no. Driving dynamics? Yes, I get it, the E36 is a great car to thrash on. Reliability? No, Lol, it's nice to have a car with working A/C. I agree with others, a two-car solution seems to be in your favor. It's what I did. My old E36. (Sold it for the 1LE that got wrecked) My...

Ah VWVortex! Bringing me back to my MK6 GTi days!

Oh snap! You finally took delivery! Congratulations man.

I have all the paperwork, window sticker etc in a binder. If/when I get paperwork I'll keep that in there too. I buy all my oil on Amazon (and filters) I save a PDF of the purchase and put that in the folder with the spreadsheet of all my maintenance. I also have the brake fluid flush, rbf...

Thanks!
