Nope.

I'm the opposite - I look for excuses to drive it!

I do 8-9000 miles a year in mine. What on earth is the point of having something so special and not using it? Madness.

I did 40k in mine during the first 3 years of ownership, got a company car now so that's dropped considerably

I had a truck and an Alfa 156gta when I bought my rs4. Neither of them got a look in and just sat there going flat. Ended up driving the rs4 to work instead of getting the train and drove it to the office every day even though it cost me a fortune in congestion charge and 30 odd quid a day to park in central london.

Wow. I get the train into London every day (Dartford area), sod driving! lol.

Had mine about 18 months now and done around 4k, thats including a weekend jaunt to Dartmoor and another to Yorkshire. It's my only car, and I drive it once or twice a week.

Dont not drive mine to keep the miles down, own it because i can and drive it when i want. Do 40k miles a year in my van and beat it to death. Wouldnt ever take my car to work due to the nature of my job. Prob done less than 2k in a year in the rs4. My bro in law has just bought an e92 m3 so hopefully more road trips planned for the future
