So I have an 01 GPW s2k and I love the car. But I can't help but get a little sad/ upset when I see the miles run up on the car. I bought it last year with 78,700k and had to drive it 700 miles home from where I bought it. A year later it now has 97k on it. While I absolutely love it and it brings a smile to my face when I take it out, I can't help but cringe when I see the odometer creeping o so closer to 100k.
Does anyone else feel my pain or am I just too odd with my car?

 

i feel ur pain...when i switch my cluster from mi to km goes from like 62,000 to 98,000

i think it's a good thing that the miles are going up...it means you're enjoying the crap out of ur car. (or you just do a lot of highway driving) i put on 10,000 miles in 2 years in my previous car and i thought i enjoyed driving it. i put on 2,000 miles in 2 months in my S....never thought it'd happen but i love driving it too much to worry about the miles building up...just keep driving and don't worry about it!

 

Dude I feel your pain, when I bought my MY 07 it had 17k on the odometer and now after bout a year and a half it has almost 60k..I just now in the past week started to slow down on puttin miles on my car...(drive it bout 2-3 times a week) cause I carpool with my dad to work, but then again every day I don't drive my baby around I feel sad

 

So I am not alone! That is good to know. My wife just tells me "well we can just buy another one, its not like you have the only one in America." lol I love my wife

 

Everyone feels like this when it comes to mileage. For multiple reasons, obviously. But don't feel too bad, these cars can't last WAY past 100k miles.

 

bought mine with 10k going on to 5 years now... At 103k, loved every bit of it. stop being a pansy and drive your car

 

If you aren't going to drive it, why do you own it?

 

I'm guessing you meant "can"?


Anyway, I got an oil change done on my car on Sunday, August 22nd. By Sunday, August 29th, I drove 1030 miles in the car.
As of today, I'm at 80% oil life.
I don't mind, though. I didn't buy this car to worry about mileage.

 

Almost to 119k myself.
Every mile has been a tremendous adventure and I dont regret it one bit.

 

I have a second car that I drive. Hence the user name. And I do drive it. I think 20k in one year is driving it! I just want to enjoy it for 10+ years. And the less miles on the car the longer I can enjoy it
