I'll probably put less than 2k miles a year on my 986. From spring-fall I'll take it out once or twice a week and in winter, it'll be weather and road conditions permitting.

For me, the key to longevity is a time based maintenance schedule and ensuring that each outing is long enough to flash off all the moisture and to exercise / lubricate everything. No short trips and no starting / idling in the garage, I'd rather it sit until I can drive one of my Catskill 'circuits'. Great driving up here, but the road surfaces are challenging due to our winters.
