Feeling guilty for not driving my Boxster - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Yes!

JK!

I drive once a week too, when it is not raining, but I managed to do 10,000 miles since late April!

bmx,

Yes you should be ashamed of yourself

I drive mine unless the roads are wet, knowing that in a couple of months the roads will be covered in snow and salt and my poor little Boxster will be sitting in the garage on the charger

Today is a beautiful day, and it is supposed to rain Friday and Saturday

Regarding the pumpkins, I have a one car garage so every morning I have to pull out two cars and park them in the street to get the Box out ( although we are planning on buying a new house next year with a three car garage

).

I drive mine rain or shine!

How could you?

And it is such a great car!

Not me, I will spend more time cleaning it after a rain than I will driving it. Unless I get caught while out, my girl stays in the garage for sunny fridays, and nice weekends.

Yeah, black cars and rain don't mix well - hence no more driving when the roads are wet ( although I doubt Ocean Blue is much better

)

I know, I know... I have no excuses. It's so nice out today and I feel even worse now!

I'll make it up to her and drive her several times within the next week! Weather permitting... before she goes down for her 5 month nap.

Yep, only drive her on Fridays and weekend if the weather is perfect.

Exactly....She will be driving tomorrow to work and then hopefully to the airport to pickup my daughter on Saturday. She is 11 and she hasn't seen it yet and she is definitely NOT spoiled (unlike my nephew --- see prior rant!) - so it should be fun!

man, with that much drivig and the cost of insurance and cost of the car, you are better off just renting one once in a while.
fridays only if it doesnt rain?

i dont know, i wouldnt be able to do that at all, while i was waitig for my wheels to arrive (1 week) it was driving me crazy not being able to drive the porsche...i dont know how you can own one and not drive it. i drive mine in rain as well, but its got many layers of zaino, and when i get home car looks the same, no water spots whatsoever, but now that i got the leaf blower i can probably just hose all that water off anyways, but still even without anything, the worse thing is just the wheels.

but hey, you car and $, just doesnt seem like the smartest idea out there.

please, go drive that car before things stop functioning from sitting out 11 months out of the yer total

Just drive it any day the weather is nice! Don't let it sit,that's when it seems like these cars start to develop problems. Look at it this way,you pay insurance on it 100% of the time,why wouldn't you drive it 100% of the time? Now there are times like when you have to be a shuttle for siblings/kids and need to haul big stuff around but otherwise put that foot to the floor in that thing!

I only put 6k on my 99' in two years,my only regret was not driving it more.
