Thanks everyone. So far it's been a blast driving it, and it doesn't feel like I've put over 300 miles on it in just a week. But hell, I put over 100 on it on Saturday and didn't even think about it until the next morning
It's just so much fun to drive

It's a black, 02' Coupe, a4 and it's stock. I couldn't be happier with it, which is pretty obvious by the fact that I've put a little over 300 miles on it in just 5 days of driving
Congratz! I've put 2200 miles in 3 weeks on mine... that's some serious driving... and it's all local, no long trips =X

I've had mine for a couple of weeks and, like you, I'm enjoying it. It's been raining here in New England, so I don't think I've put 300 miles on it in that time. I've been enjoying the friendly waves from other vette owners.
Congratulations on your beautiful C5.
