After 2 Years of Pruning: It Feels Complete.

Only thing I could want is doors when the kids are home for break.

Almost got my Parents Roped Into a Scam

I was looking at market place and saw an auction listing for a Buzz starting at $18,000 with only 18 hours left and off handed sent it to my dad. He then registered for the auction and sent in his license information.

It finally clicked that their buy now price of 24,000 was too good to be true. I put some customer testimonial listings through Synth ID and it flagged. Looking closer at the testimonial pictures some details like clothing patterns, car badge logos, shoe logos all seems melty and off.

Other various details didn’t add up (LA fancy tower with no Unit number, San Francisco area code, Eastern time zone operation hours.) Finally I realized, saw the listing photos previously and posted them here from the dealer months ago in chat with another potential buyer.

Don’t be like me. If it’s too good to be true, it likely is. I’m just glad we stopped the scam train before they sent in payment info.

Loved my i105 so much I picked up an H800 for the front yard.

With my kids not wanting to mow in summer, I put my i105 to work in the front yard and have been in love with the result. I was looking at Facebook Marketplace and found someone selling a h800 for $350!

Apparently he is a Gardner and got it as a gift from a client. He had no interest in it. I’m a little bummed I can’t just share maps and antennas to get it going faster. I also don’t like that I can’t set it to mow higher. Any tips coming from the I series? ?

Dealer Tire Millage Rating?

Does anyone know what the mileage rating is for the dealer installed Continental Procontact TX10s? I think I’m going to buy them on sale as it’s $1200 all in until the 28th, but I was wondering if there is a published millage warranty. Tire rack has them at 65k, but I am not sure that directly transfers to what the dealership installs. The VW tire shop doesn’t list it.

For context I’m at the wear bars and just shy of 30k miles on the factory set.

Opinions about G4 Value Add?

I purchased a iMac 17" 1 GHz - M8935LL/A after loving the restoration project on my 15”.

Ultimately, I don’t want to go down the Juicycrumb route as the neck of the 17” needs to be replaced and I already stuck on the bezel with foam tape (that likely won’t come off easily.) I’m planning on wrapping up the internal DIMM replacement (1gig) , and SuperDrive repair as the parts are on order.

My question: Would it make any difference to finish the last two upgrades I planned (Bluetooth installation, and maxing out the ram to 2 gig) or would you see no Value as a buyer?

Safelite Calibration Failed but IQ Drive Works.

I just got back from Safelite after having spent five hours there. They were able to replace the front glass with Volkswagen OEM but their calibration system wouldn’t work with the height of the car. They have suggested I go to Volkswagen to get the calibration done appropriately. I have a Monday appointment but in the meantime, everything seems to be working fine with no warning lights.

Is there anything I should be looking out for that tells me it’s not working as intended?
