Your poor 911 SC, all dressed up and nowhere to go. Very nice car!
I just don't drive that much. My DD is my BMW and I only drive it about 9,000mi/year. After that I have 3 "toy" cars that share about 3,500/year. We also do off road events in the wife's LR Disco (it gets driven about 8,000/year.

We live almost dead center in the middle of Tampa and don't really have a need to drive that much.

I do feel bad about the 911 but as I get older, I realize I like being coddled. Great handling AND comfort, ergonmoically correct, AC that works, and power everything is just too much for the 911 to compete against. The wife has been bugging me to sell the 911 but I have been dragging my feet.

I agree 100%. That is why I just smile when I get comments like "poor man's Porsche" or "chick's car." Foolish statements from people who just don't know.
