Default It is here!

I flew into NYC yesterday AM and came home with a Seal Gray/Black Supple 02 PTurbo!

After crossing the border this AM (I slept in Buffalo waiting for border to open this AM), I had it safetied, eTested, RIV'd, titled and plated with my permanent plates this aft. It was a busy afternoon!

It is tuned and has a bunch of EVOMS parts on it, hybrid turbos, PSS9s, plus some other cool things.

The drive home went well. The border was smooth. Its all good so far!

I need a rear license plate frame!

I LOVED the drive home. It was incredibly surefooted, fast as hell, stable, mostly comfortable...it really exceeded my expectations. This is going to be an awesome car for me.

Best part? Arriving home and having the family pile in for a short drive. Couldnt do that in my NSX!

The worst part? Not having the car in time to go to Sean's event at RSP. Looks like an awesome time.

Her in my back laneway shortly after arriving.


And getting a fill up somewhere south of Syracuse

Congrats! I'm a bit jealous as I was initially looking for a TT as well but settled for a C4S due to a deal I just couldn't pass up.

Car looks great, not digging the rims though. I do have a set of hollow spoke sport techno's painted black/ silver if you're looking for something different but OEM. Can send pics if you're interested.

Happy motoring!

Congrats. These are, without a doubt, the performance bargain of the century. A bonafide 400+ hp AWD supercar!

Excellent choice Dave. Congrats. I'll bet your purchase price covered the money the previous owner spent on mods. Looking forward to going for a ride.

I love this car.

Yep. After throwing money out the window modding my previous car, and getting nothing back for it when I sold it, I needed to buy a modded car this time!

I have receipts for $25k in mods to it. Seems well built so far.
