Slap on some winters and have fun! Congrats on your new ride!

Hi Rage,

I was wondering what you thought of your TT. Is it as good as I said it would be in winter? Better than the M3 or Merc I bet. What tires did you go with?

It's great to have someone who encourages your passion. Make sure you do the same for her. She deserves it.

I do, my wife loves dogs and kids of which we have three of each and one on the way. I think i will stop at two cars, or I will need a bigger house.

Now, what are you going to get HER for Christmas?

God only knows........ how the hell can I top that.

And winter tires are a must but not sure about turing off the PSM.

Yup. Pretty awesome in the winter, not gonna lie. Drove both the AMG and the TT back to back today to the car wash, felt so useless in the AMG anytime there's snow on the ground!

I blogged about it with all the details here:

I should really edit that sig of mine, that's like 10 years old haha.

Garage pics will do

Blizzaks work well in winter - not sure I would turn off PSM either (at least on your first wintry drive)

How about a new set of wheels for your new Pcar? A GT2 wing? My wife loves hybrid turbos, maybe yours would like to see those under the tree too?

Congrats! Pleased to hear it worked out so well. She certainly got an education in Pcar purchasing when she came here.

Nice pics. I was starting to suspect a troll.

Need to start the mods. First thing I would do is fix the ride height. X73.

He meant hoax post by your wife. It is unreal you must admit; wife buying a 996TT as xmas present for her hubby... Do please PM me a photo of her sister, I promise I will behave!

.

Now fit pss10's, sway bars, lower to gt2 ride height, fit exhaust and flash to 1.2 bar. You will end up with a car offering you more than you will ever need and you will keep it as reliable as stock.

Ps. Are you keeping 928?
