That wasn't one of the unreliability points, just a funny anecdote of searching all over for a minor rattle.

Actually, it says a lot about VW that an annoying rattle from a poor build doesn't even make the top three issues in 3.5 years.

don't drink water and you'll have less or no sweat. Might be dangerous however.

Chilly day in central Illinois. 60-65º for a high. Going to opt for a relaxin Sunday stroll on our CoMotion this afternoon if we ever get goping. Laziness prevails...

Other than routine maintenance, 0 issues with my 16 Passat that has almost 100k.
It has an annoying rattle from day 1 that I solved with paper, but other than that is fine.

It's only supposed to hit 92 or 93 today so I could probably do a midday ride without dying. Maybe I'll do a sunset ride, they're often nicer.

Just dropped by my Toyota dealer this past week to discuss the lease on my 4Runner nearing it's end. I was stunned when I drove up as the supply chain problem was readily apparent; picture empty shelves during the pandemic in the paper goods aisle. They may have to extend my current lease until something I like comes in, and I'm not even asking for much. The problem is the chips, they're just not available in the numbers needed for normal demand.

I slept in big time, just now having a stack of pancakes with blueberries on 'em and washing it down with some German coffee.

Got in a chilly, windy ride with one of my guys and a semi-regular. With that, I'm over 700 TSS for the week for the first time this year. Yay, fatness!

Rode by our first house this morning. When our daughter was born, we planted a red oak to commemorate her birth. This is it 26 years later. Was about 8' tall when we planted it.

Do you have a buyout on the lease with a fixed cost? That might be the best course of action.

The GX is in the best supply of Lexuses. Of course, they advertise the crap out of the new LX600, which I really want but have no way to justify. It's odd, since they make very few even in normal times.
