I don't either. The TT may be an Audi thing, and if it is, it's time to run as fast as you can in the other direction. Audis make BMW's and Mercedes's look reliable.

There's one for sale a couple hours from me for the bargain price of $63k.
Just can't bring myself to spend that much on a toy.
I used to count my dollars, now I like adding up my horsepower in the garage and driveway.

You cannot take it with you,,, and you deserve to reward yourself!!

I bought my Camaro with 4 or 5k miles on it in July 2015.
It now has about 22k miles.

Hard time justifying keeping it, much less spending 3x as much on something else.

The Camaro is a great car, I would keep it until it falls apart.

I may get one myself, I like the SS 1LE.
I am VERY convinced I will die long before my C8Z is ever built.
Based on what I have read, less than 100 C8Zs will be delivered to customers this year.
Pretty shitty job GM, as production was supposed to start early summer 2022, and all you hear is bitching and moaning about suppliers.

Both GM and Ford cannot build the cars that customers want,,,

I may end up getting a Porsche 356 before I kick it. The last year for these IIRC was 1964.
I would also own another pre-1965 VW bug. Great quality, easy to fix, fun to drive. When the Germans went water cooled, it all went to hell.

No way. Porsche is building some of the most amazing cars right now.
