Feeling guilty for not driving my Boxster

[blinkwatt]

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.

I am alive to drive. And I'm a alive when it rains ... therefore I drive the P in the rain. In the winter ... I hate winter.

Hmm, not the smartest? I put over 35k miles on three cars last year. If they were only on the porsche, the car would have 300,000 miles... It would have, therefore been replaced twice and wouldnt look nearly as good as it does now.

My first car is expensive to insure, after that, the rest are cheap. The porsche is actually the cheapest by far. I am not worried about that cost. I am not burning expensive tires or changing expensive oil either. The car, to me, is a pleasure vehicle. I stare at it, work on it, and play in it. I try to drive it weekly, like I said. Usually 3 days a week. But some weekends, I have hobbies and obligations that render the porsche useless. For day to day activities, it is completely impractical. It is also not a fun car to drive while sitting in daytime traffic. It is not what it is made for and I would rather it in my garage.

So to me, driving it everyday is "not the smartest idea" but hey, its my money.

Purchased my car Mid Dec., Put it away for about 10 weeks, It is now late Oct. and there are 13K more miles on it than when I got it. My only complaint is that I have not put more miles on it. We go on trips and Runs and just ride rain or shine. The top down is best, but certainly top up is better than driving most anything else. Yes it is more expensive to maintain than my Pick Up, but I didn't get one to say I have one, I got mine to enjoy the pleasure of a fine automobile. I have driven sports cars since I was 16 and have had a few nice ones. Nothing compares to the Boxster so why not enjoy. I will die one day and I would not like to think that I left a car with no miles on it. What a waste. Ed

You guys are right...
I'm going to make it a point to drive it to work at lease twice each week next summer. I'll try and get it out more often this fall too...
I only put about 1800 miles on it since early April... that's just sad.

I'd like to thank all people who drive their Ps as little as possible in order to save them for us who will pick them up on the used car market and drive the hell out of them.
Thank you.
