Does it matter? Your car is your car, you want it to look its best, at least that's how I feel. You have had the same car for 13 years? I think the longest I have ever gone is 6 years, that was my 2006 RL that I sold this past summer.

First car for 5 years... Scirocco. rebuilt the engine myself and drove it into the ground. I think it had 160K miles on it when I sold it.

Second car for 10 years... GTi 16v. loved it and still miss it. Over 150K miles.

Current car for almost 13... A4 Just broke 100K miles, so hard to justify a new car, especially with kids. Wife is on board and has been pushing for me to get a new car for a while, but the timing has not been right.... soon.

Yes, you want it to look good, but I am not the car washer I used to be. It really is liberating being able to park wherever you like.

I do park where I want, I want to park a mile away from all the other cars

Hey all, I just picked up my 2010 S4, Monsoon Gray, prestige package and full leather inserts last Saturday in Kansas City. Drove it 8.5 hours back to my home in the Chicago suburbs. What a fantastic car! Been wanting an Audi since I was out of college (quite a few years ago now) so its great to finally have one.

I hear you. I find myself parking far away even when in rental cars on work trips. I hate getting wedged in between trucks, SUVs, and minivans and not being able to see well when pulling out of a parking spot. I understand Tweakophyte's point too though. Sometimes time is tight, or it is pouring rain, etc.

Check out what I came back to at the airport after working long hours one weekend...notice the stripes for 'no parking'. At least he left me a little space.



Congrats tr6guy! How many miles on it? Got mine with around 10K mi.

FWIW, Monsoon Gray wasn't available in 2010 so your S4 is probably a different color if it's a 2010.

Just picked up a 2012 S4 P+ , 19" 5 star rims, navigation, advanced key, sports diff, B&O, S Tronic, Carbon Inlays, Parking Sensors, Ice silver Metallic. I wanted to know where the former poster got the supercharged badges and how are they were to replace?
