Default So this TT Roadster comes in to Shelton today...

Silver/black top. It looks pretty slick, multi-spoke, deep-dish w/chrome lip 18"s, color-matched head and tail light covers look a little ricey and the euro plate reads "TT225HP". I can get over that much, but then I look a little closer and it only has 1 exhaust outlet, so its really a 180 horse single IC(lame). the Tech comes in to order a new swaybar for it and states that it is quattro but upon closer inspection it is badged "quattro" but GUESS WHAT! No rear diff! WTF! complete misrepresentation of the model and what's worse it nearly led to ordering the wrong parts. Why can't people be happy with what they have? 180hp or 225hp it doesn't matter, it's still a TT and it's still cooler than a domestic car or a Honda. A "quattro" badge won't make it handle any better, and it doesn't impress anybody especially if your front wheels are spinning. Leave the mis-badging to the ricers okay!

Sheesh. Worse than an RS4 badge on an A4.

I did the same, badges off, and my vanity plate explains it all.

Default You work at Shelton in Ft. Myers?

What do you think of Jerry Reich? Has he done a good job since he started there?

Default That's a loaded question if I ever heard one, asking a lowly parts man to comment on the GM?

I have no comment. I've been here for less than a year, but I've heard he has helped turn this place around. At least we're in the black.
