Got my wife a 2019 vr6 SE w tech atlas because of the 72k mile bumper to bumper coverage.

Nice car, doesn’t drive as nice as the MILs cx9 which rides and drives like a bimmer, is def softer but it is very useful for road trips and grocery runs.

VW still has issues with integration of electronics. It’s going back yet again (3rd time in two months ) this week to get XM fixed and blind spot monitoring fixed and hopefully to get the car net to work as well.

i was considering the Cross Sport w/ Rline package. My wife likes the Atlas as well. But we didnt get a chance to test drive it. Whats your input on the Atlas?
It's barely a day old, but we love it so far! Still finding new features!

You got it!

It's RTFM time, lol. I'm still learning new stuff with my car and it's almost been 2 weeks already.
Yeah Portimao is pretty, and I seriously considered it but then decided on Mineral White which I don't regret. Yeah not a ton of room in the back of a G20 for sure, but decent compared to some.

Yep. Then he wadded it up during a crosswind takeoff attempt at the close of the Reno Air Races. I heard rumors that he plans to rebuild the airplane even better.

Well I guess if that's your drug and you can afford the addiction then go for it. It's not my thing but hey, I bought a n54 xDrive auto E90 as a toy so who am I to say anything, right?

When you have a project, all your possessions are in a storage unit 250 miles away and you’re tired of borrowing...

All the damn time. I'll start working on something, realize I don't have the tool I need (that I own), call a buddy and ask if I can borrow theirs, go pick it up and realize the reason I can't find mine is because they had it.
