I think they get that now.... my sales guy didn't when I bought mine from RAC Luckily nothing major broke. I may do business with them again in the future? For now, getting all my work done at DBC in San Antonio. I'm still not happy with how my transaction went even though I love the car..

Your wife was wrong.

Thats the oil change interval I go with anyway. Besides, I'm happy with a modded TT. A lambo would just encourage me to spend money at UGR lol.

UGR... $35,000 is a lot of money... I will never do that... I will just trade my car for a newer model...

That's not even the tip of the iceberg. You don't want a bolt-on on an 04-08 due to the weak rods. You need to step up to at least a stage 2. If $35k sounds like a lot, you don't wanna know what an 'R' version costs!

As for the maintenance, I was referring to service, etc not oil changes.

Regardless, I'd like to know how you've enjoyed the car so far vs the 997TT.

No no no my friend... You are wrong... I don't NEED to step up to a stage 1 or 2 or 20... I will never waste $35,000 to modify my car.... I will just trade it for a nicer car...

I spend a lot if money in "babe modifications" for my 997TT and I think it wasn't wort it... I will never do the same mistake twice...

I rather drive a F430 scuderia over a 2004 Gallardo with 6000WHP.....

I will only change the exhaust in my cars but no more than that...

A few months ago somebody told me "the best modification is the one you don't do it" after my experience I agree with that...
