Default I only own my beater so I can still get to work when the S4 breaks down

14 months of ownership = 4 months of down time FTL

Default my tip avant is a daily beater and it shows, still love it. Mazdaspeed3 for more fun and track days

The ole S4 needs some maintenance, some mods (keeping it stock + suspension), and really needs a respray. Looks like I drove the thing through a severe sand storm.

The mazda is much more capable on the track I'm afraid. The S4 feels like a creaky old boat by comparison. Guess that's what 7 years of hard life will do.

Default No, but I want to work on my S4 and drive it three seasons a year for years to come, so

the pickup gets the winter duty. I couldn't stand to watch the S4 dissolve in the winter salt around here.

Indeed. My S4 has been laid up for 2 weeks waiting on a part from Germany and it's killing me!

S4 is in the shop as always, so I'm driving the S2000 around town. It's suppose to be track-only.

Default 2nd car is different than a beater.

I have 3 other cars and 2 motorcycles. None of them are to beaters to avoid putting miles on the S4. They just have their own niche.
