Called Capital One to refinance for a better rate and they told me "well we could refinance you or give you $50k towards a new car, let us know". Now I'm thinking I may trade this GTI in for an RS4.

Realistically I'm not going to get anything at the moment. I hate having a car payment, and even though I just refinanced mine, I'm still looking to pay it off relatively soon. If I wasn't house-hunting it would already be paid off.
Yesterday... changed my oil via the extractor method.
First time doing an oil change this way on any car. Liked it overall but was only able to get 5.0 L / 5.25 quarts out. I don't believe I got the end of the tube properly into the bottom as I felt more of a "soft stop" vs. a hard stop of the tube hitting the bottom. Messed with it for quite some time but to no avail.
Oil was on the low side to start with so don't believe I left a lot in there but regardless I still plan on taking it to a dealership for the next one (alternating DIY and Dealer services - not covering many miles right now so it is a yearly thing).
Took care of the oil change on my mower while I was at it too - the extractor was clutch on that for sure - tipping that one in the past has always be a PITA.

I'm just hoping to clear my driveway on Wednesday, get the car unstuck and then wash it Saturday.
I wish u luck
this shit is deep and heavy. We usually get this lighter snow. This stuffs consistency is like north east snow. It’s heavy
If you're only taking it to the dealer to get it bottom drained, you may be disappointed to know that many dealers use extractors too.
