My '92 was a driver. >150K miles on her when I sold her for the '04 I have now. The '04 was a driver until last year when I leased a car to drive back and forth to work. When the lease is up, she becomes a driver again. I'm looking forward to next year!!

I drive my 06 a6 everyday to work, one mile to and one mile back, WOW that's a massive 20 miles a week, i also come home for lunch.

The only time i get the car on the highway is the once a month breakfast cruise, and i really love doing them!

I appreciate your alls posts. Now I can slam this guy at work.LOL. I have a 91 with over 170,000 miles. I drive it in the rain and it unfortunately has to sit out side. The only time I don't drive it is when I get in the car and it doesn't start. Vats off it just cranks. Come back 2 hours later and fires up.

I drive it whenever I go out but I do prefer not to drive it if I know it is going to rain. Not because the paint will melt but because it is a pain in the butt to keep the wheels clean.
Lou are you using ceramic pads? If so do they really keep the brake dust down? If not what are you using?

Yes, I have ceramic pads on all four wheels. The problem is water stains.
If I go out, rains and don't get back home in a reasonable time, I get stains on the wheels. I got the wheels from CCW in Daytona. I gave them a call and they recommended to use Aluminum Wash but it doesn't do the job.
I just ordered Mother's Metal scratch cleaner and the small PowerBall. I hope that does the trick. Then I can put on a few layers of wax to repel the water.
Wish me luck.
