Message	he used to drive it when it was a stock TT, but we had no other car at the time and he drove it very very slow... then he took it for a spin one rainy day after some upgrades were done and his words were: "I'm not touching that car again. I gave it some gas in a turn on the highway and the back started to slide out. It scared the shit out of me." he hasn't touched the car since... this was more than 9 years ago. But just to put things in perspective, my father is a horrible driver. absolutely horrific. He doesn't really pay attention, 2 lanes is the same as 1 to him, needs glasses but doesn't wear them and most of all, he suffers from sleep-apnea causing him to fall asleep if he sits for extended periods of time...
