Default How many of you AW'ers use your S for your daily driver?
I am strongly considering picking up a beater for <$3k. My work commute is 20 miles round trip, and my odometer currently is at 74k (2000 model). I feel like I am really racking up the miles for local "grocery getting" and such. Plus it would be nice once in a while to just not care about the car your driving (ie. parking spots, city driving ect).

Anyone else feel the same?

Can a decent beater be had for <$3,000?

Default My only car....it's chipped all to hell from going snowboarding, but I still love it.
I do however have off street parking, cause big bumper dings are not acceptable on my baby.

MK3 GTi vr6 is what I used to drive...wow do I miss that car (torque). So nimble vs. the S.
