Funny story - about a year ago a cop pulled me over for driving 65 in that exit. I told him that's the only fun I can still have, and he let me go with a smile.
P.S. I actually do have other means of having fun.
Hey, drive it in good health. Some still criticize the car, but I think it just about perfect... you likely will too...

TEHO, without doubt. I find the S more than adequate but no question the TT is even more of a blast. And the TT surely has amazing handling, but with the additional suspension enhancements handling is amazing +. We all pay our money, and make our choices don't we?

Mike, of course you're right and I wasn't even suggesting going for TT over S. Just thought I'd offer a different opinion on PDCC/PTV. FWIW, I still miss the feel of steel springs on the old 955S and wish air suspension was optional on TT.

It's all good, Pops. BTW and OT, who's the gorgeous woman in white in your latest avatar? Very familiar but I can't place her. (This post will seem pretty odd in a couple of days when you've changed back to Mickey, et al.... )

Ok thanks, not to display my shallowness because I know she's done lots of other things but she was also a Victoria's Secret model; that's where I've seen her before.....

Yes! She was with VS in the early years, when they had one of their strongest casts with Varenika Varekova, Eva Herzigova, Rebecca Romijn, etc., etc.
