121k on the clock, won't help my resale value either seeing how I have the highest mileage one around. 30,000 miles in 1 & 1/2 years will do that though, good thing I'm moving tomorrow for a shorter commute.

Also yes I have a speeding problem, shut up about it.

This just means you have to floor it between 80 and 100 to get past those numbers as quickly as possible, right?

Probably should drop a cog.

The two tickets I got for doing the same thing 2 weeks apart weren't hilarious :/

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I think I have the highest mileage SL600 around. That'll sure hurt whatever resale value it may have.

Yea? I mean if you're going to speed at least commit to it and go all out.

Yeah, I've done that too. Not in a 2 week span, I think it was a bit more, but still.

taking a picture while driving at 80 mph? :(

I don't think 121k is high mileage at all, but then again, I have a 90s Toyota :p

5spd life :/

Still way better than all the other 4 speeds I've had.

Just something about that daily commute …. Its the ' if I go a little faster I get home a little sooner ' mindset.

I don't even know why I checked Autotrader to see. I already knew it without actually knowing it.

I'm knocking back 430 miles a week. My resale value is plummeting fast. This is why a new car for me makes no sense. I'll probably hold on to my car past 200k.

Roughly 20k a year isn't bad though. My SL has averaged 5700...

Ya'll mutherfuckers need a radar detector.

Clearly was not going 80, I have rules against that. But I was on the expressway with cruise control set and no one was around. No harm done imo.

My a6 has the lowest milage around (minus the idiot who has his 2.8 stances, but we don't talk about him). It's hard enough to sell an early 2000s VW in the first place XD

i have a 2000s Audi, and I don't think 121 is much either (my transmission sure as hell thinks so)

Got one.

The last time I got ticketed, I rounded the corner and in a split second saw him raise the radar gun and my detector went off. Cant even be mad, he did his job right and I was speeding.

Born to lose.

Just did the math. I'm doing 410 miles a week just for the commute, plus whatever bullshit i do on the weekends. Moving tomorrow though. I hope you're not planning on doing that commute forever. Its just too much wasted time IMO.

Its bad when every other Crossfire is a 'summer' car. But I guess its handling it well, just another problem future Milky will have to figure out.

Born to speed. FIFY

Born to speed, was what they said,

You know I had a foot of lead.

Born to speed, you're just too fast,

You don't get a second chance.

Oh. That's not including any extra. I might have like 25 miles outside of work I drive a week. This commute will stay the same for about 5 years, at which point I'm homing to get a different (and closer) house or change jobs.

Oh yeah, you have an Audi, that explains things! Yeah, 121k is high for an Audi! Even 60k is high for those cars :(

"The best way to keep them running is to keep them on the road."

I think yours will be in better shape than most others when you decide to pass it along.

Well done sir.

for those transmissions* Audi does an excellent job designing NA V8s . anything that's not NA though... Yeah 80K would be considered "high"
