Just added the 997tt, will get better pics after I get back from South America in a few weeks. Love them all for different reasons. The Wolfsberg Jetta is the only one that's modified. APR tune that really woke it up and increased mpg's! Wonderful DD and long distance car. Comfy, great gas milage, faster than most would think! Been very satisfied with it and plan to keep it around for a while. 335i coupe is bone stock and a lovely cross b/t daily drivability and sporty fun.... considering a JuiceBox, but why bother with the 997 in the garage now.

Put my first 100mi on the new-to-me turbo and love it. Even in non-sport PASM mode, it's pretty tight. I will take me some time to understand why anyone would want to stiffen it up for the streets? Looking forward to spending/wasting more time here....

Looks great...but get those ladders away from the car - that's an accident waiting to happen.

I know auto's are faster these days, but just can't do it. The 997 and 2.0T Jetta are 6sp, the BMW (which my wife primarily drives) is Tip.

HaHa! You can't see it from the pics, but the end of the extension ladder is secured so it cannot fall. The other one is further from the car than it appears.
