Yes...but you can always add the chrome spinners.

Cool

I doubt you will have much buyers remorse once you drive the TT

Jason,

32? I still have the mental image that you are 27 or so. Time definitely flies, like a 997tt.

I'm 56, but I'm not buying a 997tt. If I do, I won't live to see 57.

That makes me 39 + 5.

Pong,

Hard to believe how time flies isn't it? I just celebrated my 32nd birthday a couple days ago! I still remember the day when I first bought the M5 when I was 27 and then met you not too long after that!

You may not be buying a Turbo but I hear musings of you buying a Cayman S! Still a heckuva car to get! Funny, regarding your comments of not living to see 57 with a 997TT. Would that be because of the wife or your driving?

Got my first Pcar, a 1997 C2S in 2001. So I was about 28.
