OK, yesterday...took it out for a drive.
Is it just me or do you guys get people flanking you and riding your rear bumper every time you take the car out for a ride?
I seem to get serious gawkers and some real idiots who literally tailgate me.
Yesterday I even had a dad and his kid in an suv tail me off a long off ramp, literally 5 feet from my rear bumper at 50mph.
I threw my hand up as if to say WTH and he eventually backed off but he stayed on top of me for quite a ways.
I just don't get the mindset.

What does surprise me is when at a stoplight, a kid in a nice ricer (stock and/or upgraded) rolls down his window and tells me that my car is his dream car. I drive my TT almost everyday and I get this comment about once a week.

Two day road trip from AZ to South Dakota... my son bought my '14 TTS and we're "delivering" it. Trip didn't start out well with major accident shutting down eastbound I-40. Sat there for over two hours and we were towards the front. The line behind us had to be 20-30 miles long as there are no real alternatives there. Then another stoppage for over an hour in NM for road construction! Can't believe they can just shut down a major road like that for HOURS on end.
But then great 2 lane roads through western and central Nebraska with little traffic and no smokies... the kid is impressed with the power needless to say. Think I'm going to miss that car.

Got a $1600 bill for refinishing my 4 bent winters...
Looking above, everyone else seems to be enjoying their turbos...

Worf also commands a ship called 'Defiant'...
