I've been mentioning this a lot lately, so I hope I am no jinxing myself... knock on wood, a little over two years ago I bought my 99 Boxster with 78k miles - car now has over 102,300 miles on the odometer.

The Boxster is my daily driver & I drive it in a (sensible but) spirited fashion most of the time. I autocross it an average of once a month, which means it sees the rev limiter occasionally. I have only had to take care of normal ware items thus far like a water pump, replace the plastic window, and having the oil changed every 8-10k. And as far as I can determine, it has the original engine.

In the next few months I plan on replacing the shocks (pretty sure the original shocks are still on there), brake pads & rotors, and the clutch.
