Just bought a '05 TB as a driver/toy from my son-in-law. Initially, I want to get my feet wet with a small lift and some larger tires. Once I can remove the 'daily driver' label from it, I'd like to do a little more.

Started out a few weeks ago at the 'other site', but found this site, poked around, and liked what I saw. Plus, where else are you going to find kick-ass smilies like you have here. :D

Looking forward to learning a lot, hopefully sharing what I've learned, and reading what look like some pretty entertaining posts.

Nothing wrong with that daily driver label either! Mine's been my DD for the past 5 years now.

I think most folks on here DD theirs, even if they have another car to DD they see a lot of highway time.
