Accidentally put something shiny on it. That won’t do! Shame that Epytec don’t have an apocalypse option when ordering 🤣

Stage 3 Golf

Hewwow. Shy catgirl here to share my tdi.

Big turbo, hard charge pipes and some gauges for electrons and charge pressure. Lots of other boring stuff if anyone is interested. :3

Wanted to go to car meets but local one was canceled this year.

How would people react to me if they saw me driving this as DL? lol

What do you think? This is my dream car (and body lol). But I don’t think people who know me are ready to see me as my true self. Is this car too feminine or I can make up a lie? Thank you 🥰

So I just bought this old beauty.

I've been looking for an older camper and had to jump on this when I saw it. Looks to be in great condition and the last owner took very good notes about maintenance and all the work that was done on it. It's been sitting for a few years in a heated garage so it just needs some maintenance items done

We get around!

Hello! I've been lurking here for a while. Finally decided to post about my baby. Been obsessed with the b5.5 body since its inception. This is my third (and hopefully final) W8. ('03 6MT Sedan) (aka not a heavy-ass wagon 🤭), black on black. Stage 1 chip. 1 of 41 in this type.

Relieved my 99 from daily driver duty after 3 years.

Picked up this 2017 Forester XT touring I found for a really good price. Who would have thought lowering my outback and putting on a loud exhaust would make it less pleasant to drive on long trips?

I’m loving this new addition to my fleet. Plenty of torque when you ask for it, stupid comfortable to ride in and all around pleasant on long hauls. Brought it home 9 hr back from Virginia Tuesday.

brake break and other Tacoma questions

Sisters, I have been inspired by your posts over years of lurking. I have a couple issues I need help with. I can probably manage them with some help and your help would be the best kind. So:

My (54f) Beloved Tacoma (25f) has what looks like cancer. I feel like this is a problem for the brake lines especially. Is this just how brakes look in the North East where the roads are extra salty?

The other novice mechanic question I have is about how genuine "genuine OEM" parts on Ebay are. Is the $76 dollar Denso o2 sensor better than the $40 Denso o2 sensor. At what point is the part obviously trash? For point of reference the local auto parts store quoted $275ish /ea. Is it that these parts are like catalytic converters where there's a federal standard and a NY standard that costs twice as much?

thanks!

Desert camping is fun

Turns out you can [sorta] off road a front wheel drive TDI on Bilstein B6's and sport rims, especially if you're a trans lesbian looking for some privacy for you and your girlfriend ;)

Advice

I have 2 cars; a Mazda Bongo e1800 and a 2014 Toyota Prius. I use the Bongo for work (my gf is a mobile pet groomer), and I use the Prius when we are not working, but I've been considering selling the Prius.

My gf and I are saving to buy a house, and selling the Prius would give us a sort of jump start since we won't have 2 cars to maintain. As well as I can use the money to restote the Bongo because it's a bit old and rusting - ideally, I would like to get it painted.

I am just having a hard time letting go of the Prius. It's my first car and it's been through a lot with me- I used to fit everything for the grooming business inside there. Just wanted some advice because at the same time, the Prius is the backup car in something goes wrong with the Bongo, and the business is dependent on a car.
