Almost lost control . . .
of my FWD Silver/Grey TT this past week. Only going 40-45 mph! Maybe someone here can confirm the conditions:
1) just cuising down a 4 lane street at posted limit;
2) black New Beetle equipped with Teutonic/Germanic blond appears on my right;
3) Beetle pulls into right turn lane, brakes suddenly lock with almost irresistable pull to the right;
4) only with heroic strength am I able to regain control and keep the TT from following her home.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is a recall in order? What if it had happened at 130 mph?
;-)

A recall might be too harsh. How 'bout another yellow caution sticker . . .
Known Problem! It has been reported, although no factual evidence confirms, that the silver/grey TT coupe has an attraction for the black New Beetle, especially when equipped with a Teutonic/Germanic blond. It is advised that all male drivers of this vehicle wear highly rose-tinted glasses when such encounters might take place. Of course Audi of America takes no responsibility for this behavior and can neither confirm nor deny its existence, although we feel compelled by our legal department to krud up your otherwise gorgeous car with another sticker that looks like it belongs in a school bus.
