Default 15k in 8 months so far WOT @ an *undisclosed* ave. MPH, with the occassional...

...23 mile commute in der TR3 when the mood strikes.

'84 4kq was winterbeater but puked a head gasket this winter so it's RIP and now FS. Instead, I just scored a set of 1 season Dunlop Wintersport M3's to be mounted on OE Avus' - summer wheels to remain *undisclosed* - for now - mwuwhahahahahahaha, pardon.

You'll hate me. I gots to get them on me doorstep before I'll gloat toooooo badly 8-)...

So far it has been extremely reliable (138K miles now). Keep up with the maintenance, and there is no reason not to use it as a daily driver.

I do. 40 miles of commute each day. Hey but I style in it! No contest there with the amount of looks I get from fellow dubbers / Audi and bimmers!

Default Daily commute to Manhattan

I work down in the 20s so parking is pretty cheap (comparatively) 16 miles roundtrip. On a sunny day riding solo (usually commute with the bride) I'll smoke the tires of the Miata. But 95% of the time, the A8 is my daily.

Default Daily 60 mile RT to work plus business trips

adds up to ~30/35k per year. But now that the weather is getting nice,the convertible ( '90 300SL 5-speed) gets it's legs stretched.

No need to seek D2 thrills with that beast lurking in the garage.

Every day, so far no problems at all. Very nice to know it will get me home in the snow.

Default After installing the Motodyne supercharger, every day!

Not. Probably put just 3k on the S8 in the past 12mos...
