I'm not sure what's more impressive, your high mileage VW or the fact you do a 190 mile commute a day! How long does that take you?Well the old auto tranny is running strong. I drive 190 miles a day to work and back. I bought it with 145,000 on it in 2008. I do as much work on it as I can. Like all fluid changes, all suspension work, control arms,ball joints,inner and outer tie rods and all brakes. I do drive to Kentucky to let Bruce and Eric do the timing belt and advise me on what else needs to be done or what will need to be done soon.
Not bad at all, I have a 40 mile round trip commute which takes 1hr 10 min in the morning and 1hr 30 min in the evening.It takes 1hour and half each way.So a total of 3 hours a day. Its not that bad. At least I'm moving. I have been in DC where it takes 3hours to 20 miles.
