I bought my car in March of 2007 with 68K on it, well as it was registered in CT it just rolled 69. So 69K, and today I'm at 118K... Just curious as to how many miles YOU'VE put on your car... So far I'm @ 49,000 miles driven by me.
Decemeber of that same year (2007) I blew the K03s, and have been on K04s since. I'm happy to say I have 30,000 miles on my K04s.
Poll how many miles you've put on, and then POST your longest trip you've taken with your car...
Personally mine was 675 miles each way, from CT, to VAST in Detroit, MI. Car ran like a dream!
bought 7-2008 with 60,158 miles (yes i remember), chip at 64k, turbo lady at 72k, k03's time of death 79k miles, now it has 84k (i think...) but hasn't been driven since october 2nd.
longest trip= 2,4xx miles from chicago-ocean city(550 miles in ocean city alone!)-chicago
Bought my car one week from today last year. I've put 99XX miles on it. Bout due for its second oil change

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.
I picked up mine March 3 2008 with 72k on it I was told it was bone stock come to find out it was chipped with what my research would show to be and old GIAC file. I have no idea when it was chipped but it had a serious boost leak from a tbb that was ripped over 80% around. I fixed that and it was like a brand new car again. Drove it like that until Nov. of 09 when I put my brand new AWE twin 1 on it and that’s how the car sits now. I currently have 109k on it and my k03 are still going strong with zero noise. I however did pull the trigger on the VAST rs6's about a month ago which I have the entire kit sitting in my garage waiting to be installed lol. Needless to say I'm stoked about finally having some real power, everything should be on here in the next month or so when I get some free time. I've loved owning the car I'm afraid to say this but so far it has been pretty much problem free. haha
I bought it in October of 2009. I've put about 10k miles on it. I've only replaced things that I knew needed to be changed (control arms, tie rods). I love the car more and more everyday. Can't wait to go stage 3

Bought the car on September 11, 2008 (easy day to remember) with 45,560 miles, currently sitting at 60,830 miles. Spent lots of cash on mods, has been 100% reliable up until this past Feb when i was victimized by the 1-2 shift collar, thank god I listened to you all and had 3g's saved on the side for situations like this. Today my TBB tore, car runs like shit haha.
Bought mine back in August of 09 with 146K. Got the car for free in a deal with someone who thought the car was unrepairable and didn't want to spend the cash since he had no collision insurance lol. Its treated me very well so far and ive got 160K on it now. Problems it currently has tho are the 1-2shift collar, leaky valve cover, and a CEL for a p0421 code. Inspection is up so im trying to find a solution to my CEL. Other than that I love the car and its bone stock aside from a hole cut in the bottom of my air box. Also turbos spool up very nice and no noises, pretty sure they're in excellent shape. Currently saving up for stg3+.
Bought mine in 2002 with 11k. just turned 70k yesterday
Holy low miles...you hardly drive the thing. You only averaged like 7500 per year thats insane I wish I didn't live so far from everything so I could keep my miles low. Looking forward to August when my house is finished it's exactly 1.2 miles from work that will be a savings on miles haha.
Purchased in August of '08 with 72,xxx and as of today I'm around 88,xxx. Ran her down to Lake Powell from Suck Luck Shitty approx 375 miles and once to Boise for work. I guess I"ve been lucky with only minor wear and tear items and an O2 sensor. I am knowcking on wood as I type
Bought Dec. 7, 2005 with 33k on it in Charlotte, North Carolina and drove it all the way back down to S. Florida in 1 day. Longest trip since is to Tampa and back. Now has 81k. So almost 50k personally and had it almost half its life! Kept it stock for 2 years and then the modding fun began.
Awesome replies guys! I knew it would be interesting to hear the stories... People always say to me, you never drive your car blah blah. Suck it. I have almost 50K on mine since I bought it 3 years ago HA!! I used to not drive as frequent, but I'd take it for longer trips. It's a great car to drive for distances... Through town, completely sucks, at least where I am now with track mounts, etc etc etc.

Oh yeah, about that. I didn't tell you yet. I still have a bunch of towing miles left from AAA, so I'm gonna tow it as far as I can to save on the mileage, you know?

May 2007 with 69,984 miles. Now it's around 125,xxx. My longest trip is probably around 150 miles. Too many things have gone wrong to take it any further than that lol
I've had my car for only a year. Bought it with 76,xxx, just turned 99,000....... I take a 1300 mile round trip to Nebraska from New Mexico about once a month. I've never had an issue.
my car has had more clutches, motor pulls, turbos....than you oil changes. this is where the b5 s4 really fails.
I have pulled the front of my car off 20 times easy. Second year of ownership is making me nervous lol

You got yours in 08 like me remember? Jimmy didn't have the M3 during the summer of 07 and that's what we picked your car up with.

Bought mine is July of 08 with 146k on it. Sitting at 162k on it now. It was down for 14months though for the build. Bought it stage 3 with K04s, like 10k later those popped and than i put RS6s on, than the motor popped and now GTs.
So basically i put 16k miles in less than one year.
Longest trip was 1100 miles total after getting the car back from VAST. I drove ~300 from VAST-Chicage. Next day, ~300 back to VAST. spent another day at VAST than ~500 back home to MD. 1100 miles in like 3 days, lol
I traded my GTO in on my S4 in December and have put 3000 miles on it:) Three of the 6 months of ownership have been spent in the gauge in pieces,"DIY or DIE":)
I bought mine almost 4 years ago, at 68000, has 111000 now! I don't take much for long trips, just going to VT in the winter when I drove during the winter and waterfest, thats about it! Good thread!
bought mine in July 2001 - new. just saw 55,000 miles last week... :-) 21K miles - stock, 33k miles - Stage1/2+. sold K03 in great condition, RS6's for about 1K miles... still trying to get them right. :-)
