How many miles per year does your Boxster acquire?
Garage queen or driving machine?

The previous owner averaged 2k miles a year, I have had the car for one year and put on about 10k miles.

I'm demoting my to Spring and Summer driving only. I've been tracking my mileage and its seems like more miles are coming from winter and fall use.
I'm going to pick up one of those dirt cheap 996's for cold weather.
No sense tearing up my baby.

This thread has reminded of a line I read from a member on here, carguy.
"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!"."

I just passed my first month of PCar ownership. Already put 3000 miles on my Boxster S. At this rate I will drive 36000 in a year. I commute to work every day and take any opportunity to drive anwhere. I have driven to far east Texas for some BBQ, and to New Orleans for a company convention. My previous 3 cars were a 2000 nissan maxima, a 1998 GMC sonoma, and a 1991 Ford Tempo. I'm sure you all understand. I am making up for 10 years of lost driving fun...

Mine had averaged about 2k/yr until I bought it last May. I really didn't expect to drive it as much as I have - 10k since then - but I just can't stand not to drive it for more than a few days. Broke down and got a second set of wheels so I could have all-seasons for the winter and F1s for the summer.
