Anyone have a time machine to lend me?

[pkhoury]

I know @BleachedBora has a DeLorean, but anyone else have a time machine, so I can upgrade my account and go back in time to TDIfest 2016?

 

[Randomhomelesstdibeetlegu]

I want in.

 

[J_dude]

Me too!

 

[kjclow]

Not far enough back for me. I need to go back a few more years and see if I can skip my open heart surgery! Well, maybe not skip it as much as find a less invasive way to repair the valve before it failed.

I have a smashy lower back that agrees with you. I do not want to get plated and screwed down there and in the neck until I am a robot. That sucks though bro.

Whenever O'Reillys gets stock back, they have the flux capacitor.

Car accident caused degenerative disc disease.

That was one of the best Fests. Fantastic location, perfect weather that weekend. Surprisingly, my other favorite fest was in 2004 or 2005 also in Wisconsin, in Lake Mills. I miss those times.

If i did have one that only did a one time go back ion time to do litterally anyting at all it would be to stop this thread from being posted so i didnt have to make this post and thus wasting the time i would have taken to proofreed and use some punchuaitons so you can understand my time traveling desires

 

[turbobrick240]

You're not the only person who absolutely should have gone to Wisconsin in Sept. of 2016, lol. Ah, well- spilled milk and such.

 

[Abacus]

If I had one I'd go back and spend just one more day with my dad (W386) at TDI Fest 2015. I'd give anything to see him one more time, he passed away unexpectedly last year.

@BleachedBora - you need to make some calls and get that part on your DeLorean!

Or just ignore posting. Isn't that earlier?

Yeah. Reinforced hitch on my wagen. SUV hit me doing 40-45. Pushed me into the suv Infront. Hitch made my car fixable. Bent his frame. My hitch stuck out about 4" from the bumper. There was a clevice hitch in it that sticks out another 3. So it was pushed 7" or so. Pic of the bar was after I pulled it straighter so I could get it off.

I had a similar incident that disturbed my cervical discs to the point of DDD and DJD.

I had a similar one too...

While we’re on the topic, I’d probably go back two years and NOT try to pick up that cross-auger by myself. Buggered my back up good doing that, should probably get it checked out some day.

 

[Mozambiquer]

There's lots of poor choices I would undo, two brothers I would appreciate more, and all that. I am a firm believer that all things work together for good though, and I'm fine with that.

Yup, we won’t get anywhere sitting around regretting past mistakes, what’s done is done, move on and learn from your slip-ups. I need to remember that more often.

 

[Mongler98]

Mistakes are the sizes and tests of life. Either pay a unimaginable amount of $$$$ for an education and hope to be lucky or..... just take what life gives you and learn from it and how to make it better.
The more you mess up the more valuable the $ lesson is. So keep your mind in gear..

Same. Because COVID was still in full swing, my car and trailer wasn't properly inspected and contributed to my hydroplaning in January. My insurance finally went up, because that's considered at fault, but I did get $16,000-ish from that crash, which ultimately allowed me to buy 6 more TDIs and a trailer (and sell 3 items to make some money back).

My crash from last April. Older woman who shouldn't have been driving after a stroke pulled in front of me, and I slammed into her doing 55.

For whatever reason, the forum software won't show the image, but it works if you click the link directly (and now it works).

 

[turbobrick240]

Ouch. That's pulling a stump the hard way.

 

[GlowBugTDI]

Hurts to see the wagon bent up like that

Sadly the person that hit me was uninsured... but I still sold the car for $3000

The person who pulled in front of me had insurance. Their insurance hated having to pay me $850 for the tow bill, and they disagreed with my insurance company finding my Golf to be worth $12700-ish before deductible/buyback amount, but they had no choice when they lost at arbitration. Salvaged the clutch and LSD, sold the motor, and salvaged everything else I could. Now my chickens lay eggs in it, because I would be losing money if I took it to the junkyard.
