Simulator goals. Maybe it’s the VW interior but man this looks cool. Game is Assetto Corsa.

Getting in and out of the car was the whole reason i instantly dropped the idea of getting a Honda S660 last year.
It was like sitting in a bucket. Swear i actually sort of rolled out of it.
Got out and looked at it. "nope"
-The dealer chuckled.
That was the end of that.

You called the S660 the 'Peak Honda' as well as your mechanic friends and now you dislike it? Since then 'Peak Honda' is now the Honda Fit?

so washer fluid low warning showed up today. Any recommendation (2019 bmw 540), I don't think there is any issue mixing stuff (don't mind sticking with bmw parts either and paying the premium but think the bmw ones are concentrate and my garage is 10 minutes walking, I don't feel like mixing and carry...)

They’re all good. I like the de-icer one for winter. I used it in New England every year before a had a garage. The fluid also applies a small amount of rain x repellant to the windshield. They’re all probably comparable.

There’s a normal one, de-icer, bug removal, etc.

Not sure if this is warranted (don't use RainX but el cheapo blue stuff from gas stations):

Maker of Rain-X Facing Class Action Over Washer Fluid Sensor Problems

The maker of Rain-X has been hit with a class action that says the windshield wiper fluid causes problems that cost hundreds to repair. Learn more.

Fun fact: You can use non-RainX windshield fluid for meth injection if you needed to.

Never heard of this, but I guess I’d avoid Rain X. All regular washer fluid is essentially the same. Use whatever is convenient

I've used Rain X on the glass, but not in their windshield washer fluid in reservoir of our cars. Our MB service advisor said never use Rain X washer fluid in the car and to just use the cheap blue stuff.

Interesting. BMW parts guy told me the same thing about Rain X. I didn’t repeat it because it could’ve been just the biased sales pitch of someone selling OEM parts. But I guess this is why
