Amazing car, I know what you mean about loving her more each day, Im there... to point of not liking people touching her even mechanics, our kids oh ye and wifey who constantly reminds me its just a car lol Its weird because our family Passat is probably worth twice as much but iv next to zero interest in that.

36K on my '98. Original owner did the IMS/RMS, under-drive pulley, and stainless steel brake lines at around 22K miles. Garage kept and covered since day 1, and never driven in the rain. I wasn't keen on the color until I actually saw it in person. For some reason, people are drawn to it like moths to a candle.

The mileage on my current collection of Porsches are :

The '97 Boxster has about 119K on it. Just went through a couple of months of fixing the secondary air CEL. Ug, what a pain. But, I did finally get it fixed. Still runs great.

The '01 Boxster S has a little over 80K on it. Runs great too.

The '05 911 has about 60K on it.

The '08 Cayenne has maybe 70K on it.

Hmm, the 928 has 114K on it. Also runs really great. Interior is beef Jerky.

The two '68 have unknown mileage. The odometer only has 5 digits. One shows 33K, the other something like 45K. Both the speedometers are from '68 (stamped on them), so likely original. Just can't tell how many times they've rolled over.


Did I forget one?

Just finished a 1800 mile road trip and now at 95k+ miles. Did a lot of shifting through the mountains and stop and go traffic the last 2 hours in 95-100 degree heat. She performed without a hiccup.
She did leave a few drops of blood on the garage floor last night.
I'm giving her a good bath this morning, she deserves it and a rest

I have a '99 Box. Bought it with 64000 on it 3 1/2 years ago. Just turned the clock over at 110000.
I have changed the IMS out (didn't need to I found out, but sleep better). New clutch (the tranny was out for the IMS, sooo). Put in a new water pump, and had to replace the coolant tank. I drive it everyday and take long road trips in it.
