C4TT is infamous around these parts
In the beginning I told my wife that "I came with the cars..."
That did it. She'd rather see me happy at whatever cost (within reason)

If your love for the car is fading, you either:
1) Ditch it
2) Modify it - It's like automobile viagra! Brings the spice back!

Thanks again.

I gave her the sure cure. Five redline shifts on the way to being seriously over the century mark. She won't even get in the car anymore.

Just kidding.

They are really different. The 997tt is more powerful, more readily tuneable than the R8.
I know of many folks who went to the R8, novelty wore off, went back to the tt.

Why not stick with the tt and upgrade that to the new 991tt when it comes out?

The lease runs out at 40, cause that's when you trade her in for two 20's (and I'm not talking rims lol). Just kidding.

Brave man! I would have been worried about her soiling my seats!
But on second thought, I guess it would be a small price to pay for the outcome you got!
