Psh, I’ll be at 140,000 by the end of the week. And then the old girl gets inner tie rods and rear brakes as a present.
I’d brag more but my Distronic has finally fried...

Are you gonna apply for a mileage badge at 155,000 miles? I don’t mind the fact that I never had distronic. Does it have an automatic braking function?

Hell yeah! And it will feature prominently on my new grille as soon as it arrives!
And yes: even v1.0 distronic was adaptive cruise with automatic braking and forward collision alert tying in with the Pre-Safe system. If you watch Doug’s video on the Maybach 57s he explains all of it’s functions...while under the false assumption that it was Maybach exclusive.

I plan on keeping this thing for as long as I can, although I’m going to have to be insane to have two out of warranty V12 Benzes. That being said, I still want a Maybach 57 Zeppelin.

I’m too inebriated to go hunting for invoices right now, but so far as I can tell I’ve got near about $14,500 in just maintenance into the car, spread out over 21,000 miles, or about $.70 a mile in just upkeep. Factor in the payment ($17,000), gas($3,335 roughly), and insurance($7000 roughly) I’m at roughly $1.99 a mile all in. And you know what ? I’d gladly do it again tomorrow.

My tdi golf is about 1500 away from the big 200,000 and I hope to get another 200,000 out of her.

I will probably hit 200k miles in my E46 next week. Time to look at GTIs.

The second a 2004 Type 57 comes on the market with enough miles to drop it below $40,000, I’m trading out.
But I have to have blue with red flanks and A/C seats which were hit or miss in ‘04.

My tile guy is looking for a GTI, or an XKR. He’s an interesting dude.
