RE: Racking up the miles

["Dean Drevlow" <Dean_Drevlow@msn.com>]

Two 90 Coupe Quattros:

1. Red 20V #1043 had 214K miles when totaled in May 1994.  Bought new and was 
still in excellent condition and tight when some teenage girl ran a red light 
("thinking about prom", she said.  Is rebuildable according to Audi Quattro 
Club President, but insurance company totaled it.
 
2. Replacement is Yellow 20V #261.  Has 187K miles currently.  Still running 
like a top and tight.

Change oil every 3,500 miles and keep in alignment.

  I'm also interested in responses to this since my '86 GT Coupe has
over 160K miles on it and needs to carry me thru another couple of
years.
