A day in the life of an Audi TT

Men are still boys when they see a girl they like
:squinting_face_with_tongue:

By the way this was a leap down a six story sloped Sand dune
(Utterly stupid as the sand could have swallowed me up). But the young are foolish and Invincible (well at least foolish)

Notice I had my speed brakes up and gear down for the landing

How can you get mad if they be so cute

Don’t mess with Chinese chicks lol

Invited to attend a porsche owners club get together

I can’t join because I don’t have a porsche But I did wear my Porsche sunglasses. I would get a watch but they are 6500 plus depends on your design

Can join the Audi owners club though but they don’t seem
To have many events

These guys get together monthly or more and even organize cruises

How the 911 has changed

From something like this :





To this :


Very nice.

You can tell it’s a Porsche not only by the way that it is, but the fact it says NO PARKING where it is parked.

:grinning_cat::grinning_cat: very true

funny this i seem to have gotten the attention of someone who i chatted with years ago online . and who knows what is in store here :slight_smile:

p.s. forgot to quote millers statement about my getting another wife. And i said pls dont curse me like that :slight_smile: and then this happened (happening…maybe…maybe not, but all great stories happy or tragic started with “hello” )

A scooter commuter? The great poetry showdown has a winner! - Recreation / Fun & Games - Forumosa

had to go to this thread to see what this comment was bout ? :stuck_out_tongue:

@tommy525 I watched the F1 film as per your recommendation (I think it was you). Yes I enjoyed it, very entertaining.

wants to discuss it further but can’t think about what to discuss

Harry’s in Carmel and at my fav hotel the quail where whopper used to be one of only two cats ever to regularly stay there

He was a VIP there and didn’t have to pay any lousy pet fees !

And at the downtown Monterey Intercon hotel we essentially got comped one night because the front desk manager also had a cat like him and we paid for the cheapest room but got upgraded to partial ocean view

I’ve seen it three times and that’s because of the dearth of good movies these days and YES I am that bored !!

Might see it again before it goes off the big screen

Tammy has become more of a car person since she went from Prius to TT and she liked that movie too

Just remember! You can be a car person and not like the shiny stuff! :slight_smile: It’s a wide automotive spectrum.

I love cars, but I fucking detest strongly their perceived place in society.

Anyway, the next film I’m interested in seeing is Tron:Ares. Nine inch nails soundtrack, I’m a solid fan of ol’ Trent boy, but his more recent soundtrack work for streaming services has been a bit flat. He did The Gorge and The Killer and neither of them were any good, and Soul, although decent, is possibly the most unremarkable Pixar film I’ve ever seen.

Yip, me too. They are like air conditioners. Expensive to run.

They don’t have to be. Their costs are inflated by the “status” that they provide.

What idiot decided that limp-home mode and engine management features were a good idea on a road car - who owns who in this relationship?

Let’s golf on a Sunday morning and then polish the car in the afternoon and use that as an excuse for our parental absenteeism and general mediocrity.

Watch Harry’s vid I put up he alluded to Monterey car week being about cars and not only the ones the super rich can own

Although most of it is lol

Cars selling for millions not just one million but multiple millions

But you could bring your unique jalopy there and drive around

I shoulda borrowed Tammy’s TT and spent a day down there

But she won’t approve because she claims she’s forgotten how to drive a Prius after driving one for 7 years and besides I curbed two of the TT’s wheels already

You are not flippin kidding
I was shocked how much porsche standard maintenance costs

Makes audi dealer maintenance seem almost free

I got 4 years (once a year ) maintenance package for around 1300 dollars total In 2022

A porsche will cost 6k or more for those 4 (with the first free) so you pay for three

I bet they do pretty much the same maintenance routine

Well I don’t have to worry can’t afford the cars in the first place

Porsche new car msrp start at 70k for the most basic macan gas suv to more than 350k for the 911 GT3 RS

Audi start at around 42k for the cheapest A3 to less than 200k for the most expensive RSQ8

With most audi in the 60 to 100k range

Most porsche seem to fall between 100 to 200k

Yeah, Porsche are poorly-made. The sunroof leaks on the Cayenne and the Macan and fills the frame with water and they don’t have any drains. This just stuns me as my car is 33 years old, the sunroof seal has perished entirely, some of it has moss/lichen growing around it, and yet it doesn’t leak a drop!

I do like the GT3 models but the rest of it is just badge tripe.

There’s a countryside road I frequent in the south east of the UK, it’s a main road but tractors leave mud and shit everywhere, some guy drives a steam tractor down it fairly regularly, but the notable car I’ve seen a few times, even in the rain is a Ferrari F40. Those cars are absolute shite to drive in the UK, left hand drive, massive turbo lag, zero visibility, but the owner takes it out in the rain.

This is what motoring is about and what I respect, not climate-controlled warehouses filled with ball-bag Chevelles or BMWs unless they have unique historical significance.

The Porsche 944 is a particular piece of shit as they are worth more now than they ever have been, for what is a crap budget 4-cylinder rustbucket, I don’t think close to £20k is a fair price.

Wow think an f40 sold for something like 13 mil in the vid. I respect the guy that drives his
Now that is a rich man

One who drives it instead of just owns it

I buy a car to drive the heck outa it as you do yours

The 944 and 924 are made by audi
They are posers

The 914/916 also made audi I think are more purist I think
