Happy Birthday, Mr. M3

Next year, my car turns 10 years old.

Last night, on the way back from visiting my grandmother, it also hit 100,000 miles.



Some random facts:

- When I bought the car, it had just over 34,000 miles on it. Since it was six years old at the time, that averages about 5,600 miles per year. I have put on about 16,500 miles per year since I've owned it.

- I bought the car on eBay, from an Audi dealer in Dallas, Texas.

- When I hit 100,000 miles, "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League was playing.

- My car surprisingly has only visited three states: Utah, Wyoming and Nevada.

- I average 26.4 mpg, but the car also requires premium gasoline which negates the semi-ok gas mileage.

- I have taken it up to 130 mph and still had to room to accelerate. I didn't go any faster out of fear of wrecking and being caught (no tickets at that speed, they haul you straight to jail).
