Same, I wax also cross shipping the CT4 with an Integra Type S. Even at MSRP it's a tough sell. Great car, looks amazing but, $10k more than the Civic? Nah bruh

And you can't get the manual with the better drivetrain. Womp womp. Also don't get me started on Toyota's pricing model, they have gone insane.

I even found a 2018 RAM 2500 Lariat on eBay, low miles, looked great. Manual trans and fully loaded. Dude wanted way too much but, was nice to see one that was all stock and without 300,000 miles.

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!
