As someone who fishes, it could be many things. First, if they leave them, they serve as great fish habitat. Fish don’t have eyelids, so somewhere to find shade during the sunniest bits of the day is great. And it breaks down into rust over time.

It could be for rescue diver practice. Sinking most of a vehicle to go mess with in a controlled setting is better than learning on an actual rescue.

And if this happens a bunch with bets and all, it could be a way of gauging when it is no longer safe to be out on the ice like you said. It’s always a gamble anyways, but that is pretty solid evidence of how safe it is if you know that body of water.

But it could just be redneck bullshittery. “The South” is anywhere 20 minutes outside of any major city in the USA. Go drive around and look, I promise it works. That’s how you get shit like this. They are everywhere.

The ICE kidnappings are terrorism.

lol is the boost pressure sensor bad?

It’s gotta be that or rings because it’s going somewhere. And it sounds like it’s all coming out of your wallet right now. 😅

I’m not a GTI expert, but have you looked at the diverter valve? Or the charge pipes and connections? Either could be leaking boost, and I had a similar issue with my Mini years ago that turned out to be the diverter valve.

Good luck!

You know, I agree with much of this. It is an echo chamber here. There is a limit to the amount of political discourse one can handle daily as well. I really, truly understand, because it drives me up a wall as well sometimes.

But it’s impossible to escape politics when “politics” is our government doing fascism. The echo chamber we are in leans pretty left and typically hates fascism. It’s escalated now that we have bombed the fuck out of Iran on behalf of Israel. We are really, truly the bad guys now and sometimes that means interrupting memes. 😕

Oh wow! Go handle it then. Be the change. Vote, protest, etc.

People that removed about politics being in everything are often the ones who need to see it and understand it the most. We have a future dictator in office who is kidnapping citizens and starting another pointless war, while tanking the economy to new levels, but mUh CoMmUnItIeS…
