congrats on your new car...looks great. cudos on getting a tt as your first p-car you will not regret it. lots of fun to drive. advice don't hang around here to much since there is a mod bug going around which is very contagous. first symptoms you will notice that your wallet will start feeling a little lighter. just kidding this is a great site with lots of knowledgreable people...enjoy your new acquisition in good health for many years to come.

Two advises:
1. Take driving school/DE lessons. Very important if this is your first sports car.
2. Stay away from this site unless you plan on spending a LOT of "moolah" on your new toy!
Just kidding, this is one great place to learn about your car.
Enjoy in good health!

Congratulations... beautiful car!

I am in the Houston area as well.

I have a 2003 Slate Grey TT with 14,150 miles that might be available.

If anyone is interested in pics, please let me know.

Congrats...looks very clean (and even has clear sides already). I would also take it to the track for some DE...the power is quite spectacular.

yes I do have advise. it is a true dream car. the factory did a great job. enjoy it as it is before doing any mods. the car is awesome and very hard to drive to its fullest potential for normal drivers.
go to a track event or to and learn how to drive the car to even near it potential


welcome and congrats

Congratulations, guy! Fwiw, there's nothing quite like the feeling of letting her rip on a track. It's a rush for sure. PCA DEs are really good for this because everyone is like minded about speed and safety. On the street, however, you never know what you're going to encounter. Be safe and have a blast!
