2009 Audi A4 Avant
Coincidental or it was a pair of brand new boots I had in the trunk, which only smell like new rubber up close. Took them out and the next morning all was good with the world. Confusedhrug:

They were unworn too. I figured there was no way their off-gassing could smell like garbage. Oh wells. Happy ending.

A rear parking sensor has failed. There are three of them. Need to head out to listen for clicking. If not clicking, the sensor is dead. $40 part and ten minutes labor. Or do I wait until my next warranty visit ($75 deductible)? Decisions, decisions...

PILE OF DUNG.

After not working for 2-3 weeks, the sensor decides to work today. So I can't figure out which one is no good so I can't replace it. I guess just wait until it fails again. #audilyfe

There was once a time when people reversed without back up sensors.

Oh please, go amble around NoVA in your Toyota at 15 under the limit while almost drifting out of your lane. That's what you guys do while us Eurowhores are dealing with CELs and other BS, right?

Yes, no CEL's on dash = can focus on texting while driving under the speed limit. Sensors going out and then just starting to work again would drive my bat-shit crazy, no thanks.

Ok I'll rephrase -- you should have got a TSX Wagon Mikey.

You saw it at the MM show yo! Car cover is on and battery is out of the car on the tender lawlz. I actually wanted to get some stuff done on the car on the lift since I'm lazy, but next year! (if it's still around).

I know. It was terrible. If I ever go back to a car without all these gadgets, I'm f'd. Parallel parking and getting out of tight spaces is a cakewalk with cameras, sensors, and moving mirrors.

The problem with a broken sensor isn't so much that it doesn't provide assistance, but that the car lets out a horrid squawk when you enter reverse and one isn't working.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
