Knocks, bumps & thumps!
My TT is about 2.5 years old. Lately I've noticed some disturbing things that make me feel its time to trade it 
Anyone else experiencing the following?
1. Front grill vibrates. Appears to becoming loose!
2. Bonnet vibrations. Bonnet appears not to be locking correctly
3. Loose number plate bracket on the front
4. Idle rough
5. Feel engine vibration through steering wheel
6. Brakes seem a bit squishy
7. Noisy pump from engine
8. Radio makes beeping sounds on acceleration
9. Thump from engine compartment on hard braking
10. Sway bar creak when going over speed humps
11. Various knocking sounds from the front end
12. Surging on acceleration. Put your foot down the car takes off then acceleration ceases for a split second. Power then returns.
13. Squeaking drivers door. With rattles.
14. Car doesn't always lock on first attempt. Have to try again.
15. Second gear feels different to all other gears.
I know its long. Anyone else had similar problems?

<sigh> I'd trade it in too...
have you not been keeping up with these 'issues' as they arose? Most are petty - but in total they add up to a lot of headache.
Sorry, but I'd let the car go - as you seem to have already done.

Yes... thinking that a game of GTA3 is in order - next to the fire...
crazy rain here all friggin' day. Reminds me of the old days in L.O. watching the ducks paddle around on the lake. <nice memories to have BTW>.

Yes, our family home...
was on the main lake for 20+ years. Beautiful location facing north - an address just off of South Shore. Purchased for a dream, my parents completely renovated it and added about 1,600 feet. Boat was in the water at all times ('cept when they drained it), and 'borrowing' it - and other peoples' boats - at night, was a favorite activity.
Many great stories in that house. Wish I could go back, but as they say... sometimes, you can't.
