Default car has reached 50000 miles, in 3 years of ownership...

- got us safely through the worst of snow storms
- tracked true on the worst thunderstorms
- looked so damn good in the summer all clean and shiny
- solved the hooting tranny problem
- had its trunk hinges replaced
- drive door lock mechanism was changed once
- new set of rotors and brake pads
- changed the wiper blades at 40000 miles
- new set of rear lights for burnt out LED's
- not a squeak or a rattle thus far
- leather still smells and looks likes new
- 1 small fender bender ( fixed)
- laughed at an m5 / 7 series stuck in the snow
- omg quattro oversteer moments with esp off in the rain
- excessive addiction to doing donuts in the snow in ski resort parking lots
- compulsive disorder about killing every bird that poops on it
- polished and waxed at least 8 times
- still want to make love to it....

what a car

Default Mine drove 14,000 km (8,000 miles) in first 2 months of ownership...

...and it's absolutely amazing.

For the life of me I cannot think of what car I would rather have than this.
