This is the tale of two TT's (say that ten times fast).




The first is a beautiful machine, the kind that leads




to a big grin and a little excitement every time you




sit in it and prepare to drive drive away. The kind that




hauls *** at 110+ down the straights at Sears




Point. The kind that leads you to take



photo after photo after photo when you're taking a driving


class just to get some shots of this amazing car in action (see link below).




The kind that makes you clean it every week at a minimum




(or every day for some of you), and worry about every




scratch and dent that no one else would ever possibly




notice.









Then there is the other machine. The one that lives at the




shop. The one that every time the dealer hands it back,




is "definitely fixed". The one that wipes that grin off




my face as I'm sitting there trying to get it moving while




the impatient bay-area cellphone addicts honk and




gesture behind me, while I ponder the consequences




of a trade-in.
The one that exhibits a problem repeatedly



until a tech test drives it, who looks at me like I'm an idiot



who doesn't know how to drive a stick.








This is the machine I have today. Well, Audi, I'm sending




you a nice letter, and I'm hoping that at some point in




the future I will have the first one back, with or without




your help.

Actually, it is very easy to say 10 times (fast)!

There's a straight at Sears Point? :-)

At one point they had the track configured with the dragstrip as a long straight.

Yes, yes; I was just kidding. It's one of my favourite tracks (I live 9 miles away).
