Default 997 TT FOR MY WIFE

Am I the only nice guy on here. I just bought my wife a Black/Tan 07 TT. Thinking this may get her to come to DE events with me.

No Pics yet the car is getting shipped from a dealer in PA to NH.

The garage should look pretty cool with a 2007 sitting next to my 1986 930.

Very Homer Simpson-ish. Does it come with a new bowling ball? I'm sure she'll love it.

I've done that before...bought my wife an Audi S4. Knowing how **** I am about cars, she was scared to drive it, so now it's my winter "beater".

This is too funny. I have a friend that "bought" his wife a Jaguar XKR. Every discussion I have had with him on the car is about how much "he" loves the car. And how "he" had Premier install a clear bra. And how many coats of Zaino "he" applied on the paint. "Her" is nowhere to be found ...

I bought my wife an '07 CLK 550. Trying to ease her into driving the TT when it gets here. She drove my '87 3.2 Cab once, made her uneasy, never drove the 993. Maybe the Tip will help.

OldGuy - I bought *my* wife a GT3 RS to replace her 996GT3. She can drive it whenever she wants because it is hers. She is a PCA instructor so the car will be used as intended

I had to pull over the last (and only) time my wife rode in my 993 because she was getting nauseous (but was not driving aggressively). And this was before I lowered it! Our six-year old son loves it, though!

My wife is the best, but no TT for her anytime soon...good strategy, though!

Sharp that was funny! Like the old line from Leave to Beaver. June says "is that you dear?"
Mr. Cleaver says "No its your husband!"
