why? because you MUST know all the mechanical ins and outs of the car to own an Audi?

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to learn what your car's name means. Is a name mechanical?

Default I'd bet that 80% of TT owners have no idea what it means

and then probably a good percentage of that that do know what the letters stand for actually know what THAT is.

Same goes for GT, SS and others.

I know what GT is, but since I don't GTi is for a VW am I not allowed to get one unless I do?

Default A friend of a friend brought his "twin turbo" TT to her house to show it off

He said "yeah its got twin turbos. That's what TT means" I said "no, it doesn't..That car has a single turbo 4cyl engine." He says "no trust me, we can go for a ride and I can show you." I said we can open my hood and your hood and I can show you.." He still insisted he had a twin turbo 1.8 4cyl engine even after I showed him where my turbos were on my car. Rather than argue with the guy over a still very nice car, I just said "whateverdude." and walked away.

Someone selling a car should know basic facts, like what engine is in it..

Default Really it's more of the fact that no one ever told that guy it was a twin-turbo. >>

It's certainly not in the documentation, and if they took one minute to look it up, they would know. Instead, anyone who says its a twin-turbo is just talking trash. It's a boast built on non-knowledge.

Basically, the less a man makes declarative statements, the less apt he is to look foolish in retrospect.
