I couldn't agree more, anything less would be wrong.

My theory is no one will ever be on their death bed and say "boy am I glad I didn't drive the Porsche more!". So what are we saving it for? I say, forget the garage queens, drive it, you won't regret it.

Amen Brother. I am a self employed landscaper in an area where you only work for about 8 months a year so that translates to 6&7 days a week. I still managed to put on over 15K last year. My only sorrow is the lack of time to put more miles on.

When I was first introduced to Porsche cars through my boss' '84 911 cabriolet in Germany he told me this: "My only regret is not having driven it more over the last 20 years. When you get one, make sure you enjoy it."

And I have. I picked up my '01 triple black boxster last April and have put on 24,000km since then (enough to stun the service manager at the dealership in Toronto). It's my DD and I love every minute of it ... got the hardtop & a set of winter tires and she's good to go. It's a blast in the snow as long as you're careful and know it's limits. Not everyone can live in CA where the weather is gorgeous every day, but to me that is no excuse not to enjoy it. These cars are built to handle anything, within reason (as long as you don't mind washing it, a LOT & have a garage to save it from the storms!!)

Even so, summer can't come soon enough ...
