Default Wow. Today is one whole year that I've had my car...

Miles: 16,2xx
Parts: $7500
Sets of wheels: 2
Deer hit: 2
Deer killed: 1
Gas: a lot
Smiles put on my face: Priceless

In all seriousness, one year ago today I picked up my car with 24,862 miles on it. One year, over 16,000 miles later, I sit here, reminising about all the great (and not so great) times I've had. I've also been on AW for about as long, and can't thank you guys enough for all the help and guidance you've given me. You're also responsible for helping my modding addiction, without which I would actually have money in my wallet. Its a great hobby, and one that I can enjoy every day. The reactions I get from the car (when its in summer mode) justify all the money I've spent. The car puts a smile on my face every time I get in and spool up the turbo, a feeling I'm sure you guys know all too well. Has the car given me headaches? Yeah. But all in all, its been a very enjoyable, and very quick, year with my car. I guess the point to all my rambling is that I'm still giddy (wrong word but w/e you get the point) over my car, and I plan on keeping it until it ceases to run, and even then it will probably sit in my garage. So thanks for a year of help and guidance, and hopefully there will be many more to come.

I've had my B5 for three years now and tacked on 42,000 miles since. Haven't looked back since.

Default I know the feeling...

I've had my B5 and now have a B6 (I've still got to update my sig) and have been happy with it despite all the downs. Great post - almost a Kodak moment.

Default Tomorrow marks....

5 years, 3 months, and 26 days.

Just over 66,000 miles.

Purchased: October 9, 2001
Sold: Tomorrow, February 4, 2007

I've had some amazing times in this car. As many problems as I've had I still love it. There are very few cars under $40k that make my head turn and the B6 will always be one of them.

Default the fact that they still look new hints at how good the design was, but...

Audi sucks for bringing out the B7 after a short run on the B6. It killed resale value and frankly makes little sense at all. The B6 looks so good and the B7, well you be the judge

Default Thats nice. I drove a 90 when my car was getting lowered...

5-speed manual and totally stock. It was a lot of fun.
