Just kudos to you guys that drive in the winter. I had mine in a heated garage all winter. Finally moved to FL to drive year round.

26 road closures on I-90 across NY State right now from storm Harper. Who's going to venture out today in a 911 besides Night Blue?

More action shots please?

Night Blue you get the award of the year from me. My car will never be in such a situation. Props to you my friend.

I'm sure my local government officials are also partners in a salt mining operation....

PMAA, not to get off topic, but was your tile floor difficult to install? And does it hold up without coming unattached? If so where did you order it? I like to add a slight touch to the garage floor this winter.

Hi Jay,
The flooring is from Race Deck and it's very easy to install ... and the floor doesn't need to be perfect (like if you went with the epoxy option).
I did ~800 sq-ft garage (with moving crap around) in about two days. I've had no issue with the interlocking tabs coming unattached.... it would take some doing to get individual tiles unattached.
I ordered all the flooring off of Amazon...very convenient. There are several youtube videos showing the installation process which I found helpful.
Best garage update I've done to-date.
Good Luck,
Phil

Thank you Phil. You have given me something to do while I pass away my time this winter. Will measure what I need square footage wise and order.

Good to hear that you drove it! Did you notice any flaws or issues at all? Did it have the new Pirellis when you drove it? How many miles were on it? 15,000 exactly?

I'm OK with a critical review.

1550 miles. After 2 test drives. Car looked very good. Full PPF from the best place in the area. No accidents. No door dings. There were a few mild dings on the leather of the edge of the dash. Only seen at an angle with correct light. Did not look at tires.
No rattles. Car pulled like mad. I did not like the aftermarket exhaust. Bad drone at 2500 rpm.
Burmeister is awesome. The windshield looked mildly pitted when I drove it at night by the reflection of oncoming lights. Not noticed in the day.
Would you please be able to tell me or Pm me the price you paid?
$201,000 MSRP. You got a great car. I would have bought it but the timing was wrong. I’ll get a TT or TTS soon.

Take care
CB

Nice I love seeing the TT's out on the dirty road. My lump of dirt just keeps powering through with the heavy rains we have been getting in PNW

Thanks for the comments CB,

I did buy the car at $126,991 because of the build and condition. They would not negotiate on this car's price but they did give me a great trade in price on my 2012 C4 GTS so that shifts the price.

You are correct regarding the mild pitting on the windshield and I love how the full XPel PPF has protected the paint.

I have not found the marks on the leather yet but will look carefully. I am amazed by the cleanliness and overall condition.

The car came with it's original exhaust and they are shipping it to my home for possible re-instillation. The dealer stated that the aftermarket exhaust was over $5,000 and suggested I would be well served to leave it on. You are correct that it has a droning at 2,500 RPM.

The car is going up on a lift and will have the wheel well liners and bottom cladding removed for a thorough steam cleaning and neutralization of any salts that remain. This car will never see winter roads again while in my protective custody.

Thanks and enjoy!

Dave
