no jack stand? brave

Had a feeling someone might bring this up, quick on and off within a matter of seconds while everything else I've done is always with jack stands

You obviously don't need a jack stand unless you're under the car. Last time I checked, you don't climb under a car to change the wheels...

But you do put your hands in the wheel well with the wheels. Last time I checked, jacks can fail.

You guys are being a bunch of pussies if you think it's mandatory you have to yank out jackstands just to change a fucking tire... geez... maybe make sure your moms are there too in case you get some dirt on your chinny chins?

This ^^^. it's a quick tire change grow up people

why spend money on jack stands when you can just buy 4 jacks?

Hoping to take some non-iPhone photos soon... still can't decide what I want to do with this car long term.

Put on my summer wheels today.

Clem? You still have it? Car looks awesome.

Hey thanks, yeah the car is still mine. Seems like I like driving it too much to get rid of it however the upcoming 2018 Golf R looks quite interesting.

Out of hibernation, track wheels on and ready for auto X today. Great day at the track minus 30 seconds of hail. :noyoudidnt:

Time to annihilate the sea to sky with PSS!!


On another note...not sure what this means for my alignment. The worn part is the inner side of the rear tire. I had the alignment set to near OEM settings with no extra negative camber than stock. I did drive it harder this season and went sideways many times in the rain and always in the snow. LOL. The fronts are perfectly fine.

^hey man, where are your jack stands?!

:lawl:

long as you're not underneath it,yeah okay,who give's a shit.

or else your gonna be slowly kicking and hearing your ribs snap like a kfc bone.

LOL I don't use them for wheel swaps since my body is not under the vehicle. Worst that happens is it falls on a rotor and I have a to bend the dust shield back. The jack would be high enough the body won't hit the ground and it's only vulnerable for about 30 seconds a corner while I swap wheels. [emoji1417]

If I'm just swapping wheels that I know aren't stuck on there I sometimes use the cheater method of tossing a wheel under the frame rail, so if the jack fails it lands on that.

Still a good idea, in case a socket rolls under there and you reach for it without thinking or something. Plus you won't end up smashing your brakes into the ground.

Glossworks did a bi-annual ceramic and XPEL wrap decontamination today which adds 5 mins to a regular hand wash...

Haven't had to clay, buff, polish, or wax the finish in over two years! Just a quick soapy clean when it gets dirty.

Picked up a new rental couple weeks back:

I've never felt so bad driving a vehicle to site:

I do my best to take good care of any of my vehicles, rental or not, but this is simply not the environment for a truck like this... lol

Hit a magical number today. Marks (approximately) 40k km that i've owned and driven the car.

Not sure what to do with it long term though. Something new is a want as a bunch of maintenance stuff needs to be addressed soon at 100k. However, its worth pennies in trade value and there's nothing that really directly replaces this.
