*actual for real tears and shit*

Again, time is my ultimate enemy. Even if we had 36 hour days, shit still wouldn’t get done.

I am busting my ass here at work, taking everyone’s Saturday shift, and working after work everyday at my dad’s commercial A/C company. AAAAND!! On my “free time”, I am working on cars on the weekends. I did a starter on a Tundra, rack and pinion on another Tundra, and front engine seals on a XC90 this weekend and a whole bunch of other things weekends prior. I am beyond beat. Thanks to my wife who is being a trooper while I am always working.

As for the Krieg Wagen, a good shop that deals with my dealer parts department a lot said they can help me diag it. Also, our tow truck driver hooked it up with taking it there since it’s not too far.

I gotta get shit done and at the same time, not spoil my wife’s first Christmas with us together after the nightmare and utter BS that is the US Immigration system. 3 hour sleep days be damned, i’ve done it before and I know a bunch of you rad peeps here have also.

Bust ass, get shit done!

Viva la OPPO and LaLD!

Ouch man! That’s a rough schedule, but I know it can be trying to grind like that. Best of luck getting the Kreig wagen sorted, and with everything else. Just make sure you don’t kill yourself, and stop by here to blow off some steam.

Man, that sucks. Have a pic of my E34 wagon that’s still trucking along at 210,000 miles (terrifying, but amazing) to cheer you up a bit.

Kinja'd!!!

You decide on a replacement yet? Maybe an XC90 Inscription, because dat natural wood?

Knowing it’s a VW, it’s prolly the fuel pump ;)

Good luck and Godspeed.

Noooooooooo! What’s wrong with the A6? Did the ML get resolved?

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, hope you get a break soon. Don’t burn out, man.

Basically, trans is most likely fried. I feels like the torque converter seized of some shit. Could be a center diff that locked up. No reverse, no neutral (while running), drive barely works as if it’s locked up to hell

I’ll be rooting for ya!

That oil leak I had a few weeks ago turned out to be the rear main seal.. Had to take it to a shop since I couldn’t drop the transmission (no garage). My usually awesome shop totally fucked up putting my transmission back in. Pulled into traffic leaving the shop, stepped on the gas and.. NOTHING. Just loud noises and high RPM’s. I was not happy! Managed to baby it back 30 yards in front of the shop and gave them a chance to fix it. Extremely annoyed they sent me on my way saying “she’s all good!” without even giving it a test drive which easily would've revealed the transmission problem. At least she's all better now!
