Compared to how long it takes me to do anything, that descriptor is accurate.

Also, I know what it's supposed to be, but I don't think That link works. It goes here

Upgraded the dash cam to a Viofo A139 with a rear camera. I'll chuck the old Garmin Mini in the wife's car.

I opted to run the cable for the rear camera down along the floor and up to the hatch to avoid the airbag and it was just long enough. So far it works well and I feel much better having the rear camera now.

The rear view mirror doesn't leave a ton or room but think I found a good mounting location that's not too conspicuous from the front

I went back and forth on which side of the trim the cable should come from and preferred the clearer look from the outside.

Been driving the GTI to work the last couple days and drove it over this past weekend. My brake pedal seems to be back to normal so that is relief, the brake bleed me and my buddy did seems to have done the trick. Possibly my imagination because I have been out of the car for so long, but I feel like the revs are hanging when I shift. I have about 500 miles now on that new clutch. Acceleration is good like it was before and I am liking the new DWS06 Sport 02's. I've only opened it up twice for a brief few seconds and the tires seem to stay hooked, with a slight audible complaint for the first couple seconds.
