Default Is something terribly wrong with me, or is this normal?

I find myself putting many more miles on my 04 A8L than I have in the past. I have become the errand boy, where no task is too trivial. In fact, 2 or 3 trips to the grocery store a day aren't uncommon. Do I subconsciously forget the bread or milk on the first trip?
I find myself taking extra trips to my office or other places of work instead of combining routes to save some time. Somehow, I use the most winding, hilly roads around. However, even the straight and boring roads don't seem to matter.
I just wonder when, or if, it's going to end.

Default It's not just you ... I often avoid the shortest path also, but

when it does end, it's probably time for a new car :-)

ACL8, you are closer to normal than I am! I purposely drive my other cars as long as I can so when I "climb aboard" the A8L its as if I was taking delivery all over again! The longest Ive gone is 5 days. I have to go now. My psychiatrist` appointment is in 15 minutes.

04 A8L silver/saber......6 weeks and 500 miles! New contest: In the span of 1 year, the driver with the LOWEST mileage is taken out and shot!

Odd you should bring this up, I've had mine 3 weeks last Friday, 478 miles. (including being in the shop from Mon-Friday last week). I haven't driven my Turbo in 3 weeks.
Greenie, how about we just take away the low milers car & give it to the one with the highest miles ?
