Yeah, lambo is doing some crazy stuff. I don't really like it though. I drove a gallardo for about 45 minutes a few months ago and I don't think i'd trade it for my TT. The F430? that's a different story.

Unfortunately, Ferrari prices are not quite where lambo prices are

Got in to town at noon today and dropped of a really dirty Turbo to be detailed and clear bra installed. Went straight to the office and still here. Chris and everybody at North Olmsted were great to deal with. Long trip(1490 miles) great car, terrible weather. Photos and details to follow.

Hey, Jay ... glad to hear you made it home in good time. Congrats on the new ride.

I'm with you .... Chris, Chad and the "boys in the back" are terrific to deal with. First rate folks. I did the same/same deal as you did 2 years ago and was very happy. The only cars that passed me on the way home to Connecticut were .... ahhh .... nabbed. I had the V1 installed by NOPorsche. Excellent .... !

That said, I'm enjoying my own 'locally grown' TT .... equally dirty and not detailed. Hey, it's New England and it's winter for pitty sake.

Enjoy your TT. We're helping the economy with our own Stimulus Package, eh.

Wanted to also thank Chris from Porsche of North Olmsted, I also purchased a vehicle (CLS63), don't kill me guys , from Chris over the weekend, and I definitely recommend dealing with Chris for any Porsche, Mercedes purchases. The transaction was smooth, no hassle, no b.s., just a great car, as promised, at a great price. Thank you again Chris for spending over an hour going through the car and all of its buttons and tricks.

Congrats on your TT drive home

i drove our turbo from NY to our house in Reno cuz I didnt want anyone touching it. I set a pretty quick average speed from NY to Denver then hung out there for a few days. I tried to get thru Iowa and Nebraska as fast as humanly possible. A C6 Vette tried to keep up at one point but the turbo walked away. Lots of fun.
