Damn, my car is still so very, very young... just flipped 131k today. She's going to run forever I guess.

Not an Audi, but still pretty cool in my opinion..

Idk if i'll keep my 1.8t for too long, I love it to death, itll be a tough sale, maybe i'll sell it after I graduate high school, I know the constant short trips to school, to the girlfriends house, to the golf course, etc. will eventually take a toll on it, I'd rather just get a nice 2.8 to have the piece of mind and save my pockets being that i'm not too interested in performance mods at this point.

I do treat mine like a baby. No speeding, no crazy driving, and regular servicing. But I bought it used from a dealer, so who knows how the previous owners treated it. :/
If you bought it from a dealer, then they should have the service records handy or you could just try the carfax route. 140K is pretty decent mileage if you in fact treat it nice & easy. I can't even remember when mine was at that milestone. Keep up the scheduled service intervals and the only thing you need to worry about is the brakes (pads & rotors), O2 sensors, cat, timing belt, water pump, stock turbo & the rear bearings. Other than that, you've got a lifetime of driving on that baby! Just like a g/f or a wife, you treat her like a queen, she'll never let you down.
Happy motoring !
P.S I'm at 313,617 miles right now... sometimes when I start it in the morning, I kinda have this fore boding feeling that she wont turn over, but somehow she finds a way to make me smile.
