Yes. Epic quality VW. No wonder you’re god damn bankrupt

The 5 billion that they spent to build os

Germany and Japan are literally cooked -I’ve never seen organizations fail so bad at adapting to a new reality

BMW, VW by way of Rivian, Ford, GM, and whoever licenses tech from Lucid are the only legacies who are gonna survive all the change in auto industry.

Toyota/Honda are going to be ok but hella kneecapped financially in 5 years

I mean all they need is physical knobs buttons and climate control. Just make a double din slot for us to install our own atoto ??? Profit I don't think we will be getting any fsd from Honda Toyota anyways unless they beg Tesla and get their os and cameras

It's more... auto market is driven by...
1) Suburban and city-adjacent high income US markets
2) Mid 40s folk in Northern European Cities

For these buyers, they gonna need to combine automated driving/parking, powertrain profile (PHEV/EV), mapping, mobile app, and infrastructure info (parking/charging/tolls) together.
BMW, GM, Lucid, Rivian, Ford, and GM headed in the right direction.
Everyone else got their head where the sun don't shine

Toyota/Honda/MB still acting like all this shit is separate but...
Changing the people, their incentives, cost structure and attitude on QA/privacy/security is the actually hard part.

Of the legacies, BMW i7 has been the best exp so far.
Lyriq comes really close for a lot lower price for integrating all this shit tgt

Many hours later the paint correction and ceramic coating are complete. I need to pay a visit to my RMT now because my lower back, hips, knees, and shoulders are messed from this job.

How do you have time for this, I don't even want to wash my car in this weather

Took two days off work to do it all while my kid was at daycare.

Are you done driving it until spring? I can’t imagine putting that much time and putting your body through all that just to get it all dirty again.

Most likely parking it for the winter now. It just got all its servicing done last week so everything is now up to date. Will just let coating cure for a week, and then do a quick rinseless wash to get rid of any dust build up. Then connect the battery tender and throw the car cover on until spring.

man, that garage, how everything is so organized, the attention to detail like covering up the wiper blades and wheels. ocd must be a bitch haha

Sounds like the best 2 days ever.

lol you'll enjoy my microfiber cabinet then

Tell me you're OCD without telling me you're OCD...

Nicely done, man. Nicely done~

individual funnels for each product... hats off to you, sir.

can you come organize my guangdong hoarder house!? go kick my wife in the ass and you can have your way with the entire house

maybe you can be the new Vancouver Marie Condo.

Are those funnels 3d print by yourself? I haven't seen them before.
I generally use ghetto methods to pour, like using the straw from the spray handle to guide it into the bottle or just pour slowly.

Omw


They're the Adams EZ fill threaded funnels.

Maybe you need to anal her or something.

My MIL's CRV had her catalytic converter sawed off in the middle of the night in north Burnaby, and the shop is recommending she buys a cage to protect her replacement. Where do I go find one?

I didn’t know this was a real problem in BC

You solve this by installing a test pipe

My customer in Kerrisdale had their cat chopped off in under 90 seconds, start to finish. Caught the whole thing on camera but not much you can do apart from physical security measures if they're in and out so quick. Getaway car was waiting a few houses down as a lookout.
