Message	This was several years ago. Found a pristine TT 5-spd on Ebay. It was a '91 TT, mostly stock, 16k miles, for $16k. Flew there with bank check and a backpack full of Red Bulls and snacks. Did the drive home in 44 hours. At one point walked into a Burger King and had to ask the gal what state I was in (this was pre-smart phone era). Miss that car.
