I'm constantly tempted by both options because I'm on a kick about removing the red from the exterior where I can, but I'd like to be able to revert if necessary. How's pad availability?

 

[mwoodski]

apparently the macan caliper takes an extremely common pad thats used by ton of different manufactures.

all that stuff is in the thread regarding the macan upgrade in the brake section of the board. i just ran prices between the two on my system for funsies.

That's pretty rad then, I've been mildly annoyed about the pad options for my Mazda. I can't wait til October when I can start buying shit for the cars again.

Tuesday is the worst day of the week, let's go through

Saturday is the best, because it's pretty much total freedom. Normal shit is open for normal hours, you can start as early or as late as you want, it's a blast
Sunday is basically just Saturday part 2, continue to enjoy your weekend, eat something nice, rest, enjoy your (admittedly waning) time off.
Monday you get to regale your coworkers with tales of what you got into over the weekend, and if you like the people you work with, you get to see your friends some more.
Wednesday's already the middle of the week, so you're already thinking about the weekend. You can also use 'hump day' as an excuse to get some, in some cases (YMMV).
Thursday means you're just a little closer to Friday, and you're already able to start thinking about doing a friday lunch with mates, get some of those two-day shipping orders in so you can do fun stuff over the weekend, etc.
Friday's got peak excitement for preparing for the weekend

tuesday (which I refuse to capitalize because fuck you tuesday) can eat a fat bowl of soggy partially-limp dicks, the afterglow of the weekend is over and you're about as far from the weekend as you can possibly be. Fuck you tuesday, you fucking stupid day. Nothing good seems to happen on a tuesday.

agree on your tuesday apathy. and like you said, monday is fluid. if you don't care for your coworkers, like me, monday is the same grump level as tuesday. just two lame days in a row.

my secret to be as rested as possible for the trudge of mon/tue is to get out and do something fun on friday night. beers or drinks with friends, going to a show, whatever. staying out late is the key. for me, this helps the weekend feel longer and takes pressure off of the sunday "oh shit, work is tomorrow" feeling

then why aren't you a happy tortilla chip? I'm just over here trying to enjoy food and you're coming in all spicy calling it bugs and whatnot

I've always thought the 7.5R in particular looks like it has a moustache (in the form of the black trim). I prefer the mk7 R over the 7.5, but in reverse for the GTI.

tucker and don lemon out at their respective networks effective immediately lmao

Haaaay I just turned 33 this month. I don't directly deal with the general public though, AND I overall try to be friendly with everybody here because I'm a lonely motherfucker IRL

I wish they hadn't done the red stripe inside the lighting package headlights, while I get the reference/significance/heritage of it I'm just not the biggest fan. I bought vinyl inserts for my fender blades and front/rear badges, and I have a poverty spec 7.5 so the R LP lights were an easy choice.

Milltek is having an exhaust sale now. They have 3 different versions of their exhaust, but I can only find videos with the race version and there's only 2 of them. One video is pretty good at least and he did it right by recording the exterior only. I don't think he has a valve controller, so the volume of the exhaust changes pretty drastically once he gets on it or when the RPMs hit a certain point.

Not sure this is what I want though. No one really talks about milltek and I'm not really feeling this one. I don't think it sounds bad at all, just something about milltek that doesn't really excite me.

 

[brat_burner]

the Milltek I installed was just meh
