    • N love?

      After getting the N on Friday at lunch, I immediately had some Vredstien Wintrac Pros put on at 4pm. Since then ive pretty much been ripping around in it, its every bit as hilarious and angry as i hoped it would be. I replaced the pads and rotors on the gfs honda on Saturday, and today i made a run uptoward Kent CT, about 4.5 hrs. Plenty of thumbs up and smiles from other drivers. One pleasent suprise my carsickness prone gf doesnt get sick during backroad bombing in the car unless she looks at her phone. Pressumably this because it corners so flat. One unpleasant suprise is that the rear mirror is pretty much uselessfor anyone over 5'10 because it sits too high and all you see is the ground infront of the car following you lol.

      There will be plenty of N pun updates goong foward.

    • Audi Turbski Death and Recall

      So two weeks ago or so, my dads S6 lost power on the highway, and had to be towed. Dealer said it was blown turbos, and hed be on the hook for half the repair.
      IMG_20220322_121602.jpg IMG_20220322_121600.jpg

      Not 2 weeks later audi issues a recall for the turbos, because the oil filter they put was too fine, and could starve the turbos of slippy juice.
      https://www.carscoops.com/2022/03/the-turbos-on-big-fast-audis-could-lose-lubrication-leading-to-failure/

      So the dealers gonna cover the whole 12k repair. Not bad.

      The tire leaning up against the laundry fell around ricky, and while he is usually extremely dramatic, this time he didnt make a peep.

    • Post oppo rally shitshow

      Leaving this morning, i gave no consideration to how we were getting home. I bombed back in 2017, but now older, wiser, and with more precious cargo, my standards of a safe drive are different now. Walking out of the washington park tired, sore, blistered and heat rashed, i had my gf/ trusty navigator land a cheap motel room at motel 6. From there we went to the cvs in albany, which decided to close up at 10:30 instead of 11 as we were walking up. So we went to the one in delmar. It takes us 15 min to gather our items, then another 20 to check put because the self check out machines are so crappily executed that between 2 machines and 3 resets from the very patient employee, it still didnt work, and the lady had to check us out manually. And everytime someone would walk in our out a peircing beep would emit from the doors. If i go to hell, now i know what it will be like.

      With essentials gathered we head towards the hotel. Upon arrival there is easily 12 cop cars at the hotel. I would later find out that someone had been shot dead there not 20 minutes before. Gf looks at the hotel res: nonrefundable.

      We call the desk at the motel 6 and unbelievably someone actually picks up, and tells us all res are canceled and refunded.

      We start calling places but everywhere is booked or like $300 a night. Gf sees the Remada directly across from the motel 6, i go in and by some miracle they have 4 rooms left at $75 a night. A get one, park, get our stuff, go to the room... Door handle hanging broken. Go back, get another room 2nd floor. At this point im too skeeved to even use the elevator, so we go up a flight of stairs, and thank good the key works.

      Shower. bed.

      Could all of this been avoided with better planning? Maybe. I plan to gtfo of Albany tomorrow.

      View from the front of the Remada:

    • N'd Transmission

      You have noticed the lack of of N pun themed posts in the last several weeks. That is because the trans in my car blew up.

      To tell the full story you have to start at the 3k oil change I did. The oil change was normal, but i saw the equivalent of the below. A few drops of liquid on the transmission. There was no warning lights or anything, and the car was driving fine, so I figure id adress it at the first dealer provided oil change at 6k. No dipstick either.
      Screenshot_20220425-165126.png

      As ive gotten more comfortable car ive been practicing accelerating and shifting. Cue me returning from my parents house, doing a 0 - 80 run to get on the highway (CT has on-ramps that just end in a stop sign then an immeadite merge on the highway. Never let anyone tell you that 0-60 isnt relevant).
      I miss a shift and the engine goes to redline, then squeaks tires as i drop it into 3rd. I feel nad about this, but everything seems fine. Once on the highway a few minutes later i feel a momentary jerk and loss of power, and when i get off the highway, theres a whine in 2nd.

      The next day, my second gear synchro destroys itself, and theres clearly chunks of gear that catch on other gears in the trans. I can commute but its really bad. I call Hyundai, get an apt for a week later. At thi point im convinced i blew the car up. Cue the scariest week of driving, as im constantly worried the car is gonna stall, and worse still, the dreading the shame of telling my coworkers that i blew up the trans, and the impending bill.

      Cut to the drop off day, i bring it in at 7:30, and get driven the 5 min to work in a Genisis g70. About 2 pm i get the call that theres a leak from one of the axle shafts, and it was caused by a factory defective seal. I nearly cry with relief.

      Turns out i have been driving for probbally a few weeks with 0 trans fluid, and the trans blew up spectacularly

      They give me a ioniq plug in hybrid loaner, which ill review later

      Now begins the waiting game. The dealership wont order the trans till Hyundai approves it, and this takes A MONTH. I guess theyre lucky the GR Corolla and the new type R arent out yet, because i was seriously considering lemon lawing the car, it certainly qualified.

      The dealership gets the ok, and OF COURSE, the trans is back ordered. Great. Not only will ot be another month before they get it, its another week sfter that to swap them. IM GONNA MISS THE OPPO RALLY!

      As it turns out, the trans come off back order a few days later and they got it in from korea a while later.

      I go visit the dealership as theyre in process of swapping it.

      Bloody hole where the trans goes.

      Mag drain plug of the old trans.

      Today i should get my car back. There doenst appear to be any recall or tsb, and Ive only seen one post on the forums about a leaky trans. Apperently, its just my luck to get the faulty trans seal.

      Today i get my car back.
