On topic; my car has 126,xxx miles. I have owned it for almost a year now and put 6,000ish on it since December of '10.

There was supposed to be a comma somewhere in there. Derp

August 2010.. About a month with the fresh tune and about 10,000 miles on the engine configuration.... CT to CO and back with zero hiccups. My favorite part of the whole trip was Pike's Peak.

Right now my 2002 has 160,000 miles on the chassis. Haven't done much beyond mods. Maintenance has been typical stuff here and there (timing belt, brake pads, etc..). Nothing over the top to make you go "oh fuck, there goes my wallet".

I hate it when that happens.

did you buy her new?

**AvantQuattro** · 12-22-2011 10:21 AM

When I lived in NoVA several years ago, my Avant went all over the place. Short trips like Baltimore & Philly, longer trips such as Sebring (3x), Radford, Pitt, Cleveland, Toledo, Marietta, Raleigh, OBX. Summit Point & VIR couple times a year. Moved to Philly, drove up into NNJ a lot.
Now I've moved back west. Brought my DD with me on the trip as it's Jap and reliable :-P Avant will be getting put on a transporter in the next couple weeks to get out here, so it'll get an easy x/c trip.

Here is a fun drive since you like MTN passes...If you are down in Southern France...Monaco, go east to Menton look for the Col De La Madone, from the main drag in Menton it is a 90 degree turn inland, you can goup thru the serre de la madone.
Anyway this will take you up to Peille and over the Col De La Madone, from there you can always descend back down into La Turbie or Eze ( you would be going west south west ) and drop back down into Monaco.
Great drive of switchbacks, sheer cliff drops and FUN....

**Gdlaszako** · 01-29-2012 10:29 AM

fun mountain drives are everywhere around me all the time.

**moyenecorniche** · 01-29-2012 11:24 AM

As to How far...I'm at 194,000+ miles just a few times around the block....LOL

I have 140k and put 15k on since last april. Roughly 50 miles a day to school and back with some running around and driving to meets.

**Gdlaszako** · 02-12-2012 05:32 PM

Can't wait for Summer and Summer wheels.

**Gdlaszako** · 02-18-2012 08:39 AM

**ontheedge56** · 02-21-2012 06:30 PM

**A6Avant** · 02-21-2012 09:04 PM

Bought my C5 with 100,000 Miles 2 years ago this weekend... As of tomorrow she will have 180,000miles on her.... Those are just the miles we put on here... Not the 20,000 we put on the Lancer... 35,000 on the Passat... Or the 42,000 on the Eurovan all during that same period....

**Gdlaszako** · 02-25-2012 11:01 AM

I have Gone through ALL the puddles!

**DJTb5a4** · 03-24-2012 05:51 PM

Just hit it earlier today. Had my casa a4 sense 112k. East coast to west coast and back and tons of cruising.

Sent using my carrier pelican app on my iPhone.

**Gdlaszako** · 03-25-2012 08:39 AM

Sweet.

**dubenvy** · 03-28-2012 06:27 PM

my first USP received 100k miles under my right foot. I used it to move from Bar Harbor Maine to Key West and back again. Seats folder and stuff packed up to the roof.

**dubbinchris** · 03-29-2012 02:07 AM

I think those that are posting the mileage of their cars are confused as to what the intent of this thread is.....

Well, the OP wasn't really clear. "How far into the world your avant has gone". What does that really mean? Is he trying to find out what the longest road trip you've been on in an avant? Does that mean one-way or round trip?

For example, I've driven a whoppin' 375 miles one way to Whistler, crossing into another country along the way. So would my answer be 375? or would it be 750, even though my car more or less sat for a week between coming and going?

**sig_edmund** · 03-30-2012 07:45 AM

I will chime in with a different direction. 1,859 miles over the last week enjoying every minute.

**winston@podi.ca** · 03-30-2012 10:14 AM

My warranty expired after owning my B6 for 18 months as I exceeded the 80,000km

For a trip it would be from Vancouver, BC to Reno for a track event, then to Vegas, then to LA and then back home. So about 3000 miles round trip.

I was a total n00b back then and did the track event and the whole road trip on the same set of tires AND I had a flat so I was out a spare. Looking back I am lucky I made it home.

**Gdlaszako** · 03-30-2012 11:16 AM

trips and miles. sorry if I wasn't clear.

**dubenvy** · 03-30-2012 04:38 PM

Linky

1900 miles each way

**Gdlaszako** · 04-01-2012 09:02 AM

just hit 155,000

**happy2B5** · 04-01-2012 06:28 PM

multiple trips from Fresno to Park City ~ 800 miles one way
to Tahoe ~ 300 one way
to Mammoth ~ 400
to Flagstaff ~ 600
to Seattle ~ 925
too many times to count back and forth from Fresno to SF, LA and SD ~ 200/250

Near future plans to go back home to Chicago

~ 2100+ miles one way

Can you tell I can't stand where I live currently

98k on the clock, bought it with 65k 2+ years ago

**Gdlaszako** · 04-02-2012 07:20 AM

I haven't been driving that much lately I've put like 5,000 on in the last year.
