July’s Member of the Month:

Sarah Imig

 ACNA member since January 2022. I have dreamed of having a TTS literally since I read a about one in a biography in 2003. The dream came true in December 2021 when I purchased my first one – a beautiful white 2014 TTS. Following the coastal tour in March I decided to sell it and purchase an “upgrade” in my favorite color. The new 2016 TTS quattro I have now is Sepang blue. And was like going from analog (old model) to digital (new one)! So many great features. I am absolutely loving it! Following the recent track day in Kershaw I’m planning to add a sway bar for more stability and control at speed. I am grateful –
