I almost got scammed on a TT yesterday..............

I went to look at a TT yesterday and almost got scammed.

It was clearly a single color and not a two tone but the seller insisted it was a TT and even pointed out the TT badge and license plate that someone obviously had placed there for scamming purposes.

Thank God my mama didn't raise a fool.

Good eye Mon, can you tell me what gave you the hint that this wasn't the real deal?

By the way, I've just inherited one of those from an uncle and would like to know how much it's worth...

Here's a picture, I believe it's real because it clearly has an hologram above the front left wheel...

Yeah, but at least it has front wheel drive. Great for Canadian winters..
