I'm not sure what you are looking for... Trends maybe?

Everyone's driving style and maintenance schedule is different and climate conditions vary greatly within even just the US. So, while my car is in storage, people below the snow belt get to enjoy their 911's. Some people drive them year round in the snow up here too. Some people are very meticulous with maintenance, others put stuff off until completely necessary.

So, each month's use can vary widely between individuals.

Not to mention that mileage will dictate a lot, not just what time of year it is.

Well august....I replaced, fuel pump, spark plugs, wires, coil and dist. cap and rotor.....thats not a normal month....drive it and put oil in it until something breaks....

Also put some ferrodo FR pads on last month also.

April thru November - drive her every chance I get. Change the oil every time she's due. Fix what breaks.

Oct. - sweatshirt, gloves, hat stay in the car now.
Nov. - change over to the snows, just in case. Good waxing.
Dec. - break out the trickle charger.

Jan / Feb - Not likely to be driving her much unless there's a freak warm spell & the roads are clear of salt.

Mar. - back to summer tires.
Apr. - professional detail, back to reg. driving schedule. Sunscreen & water bottles stay in the door pockets.

This spring I'll be looking at the clutch & trans rebuild while it's out in April / early May I think. Might look to a re-seal of the engine too depending on the funds.

January $20,000 for the 911
February $600 for stock rear speakers,headlights, markers, brakelight sensors
March $300 for stock front speakers
April $550 interior, new key(haven't got it cut yet, but I got it) K&N airfilter, Fabspeed cover
May $300 C.V. boots
June $206 can of flat black spray paint, car king cover
July $100 door ding removal
August it was too hot to drive
September $65 dist. cap and rotor

keep in mind DIY oil change is just under $50 every 3,000 and I did 9,000 so far

Car is in need of several more items like parking brake, door and deck lid dampers, exhaust, rear sway bar, and several other thing I want for her.

so is $1,500 per year my cost of ownership? Who cares, my wife is footing the bill.

I only put about 3,500 miles per year so the valve adjustment will only be every 3 years.

Every other weekend I jack up the car to check for any loose/worn parts and then wash the car.

LOL.

Just got my first Porsche, a 911 targa, two weeks ago. Can't find snot holder; please advise.

84_Carrera

Look under the back of the car, by the passenger rear fender, close to the muffler bearings. There's even a drain plug in the snot tank for when the stuff goes bad. Refilling the snot takes a lot out of you, unless you're fortunate enough to have a cold or serious allergies. I highly recommend refilling at the beginning of the week, so you're recouperated in time to drive the snot out of her on the weekends.

I bet the previous owner removed the snot holder to save weight

Snot holder fell out somwhere during the 1000 mile deserts of Oregon drive we took with a dozen local P-drivers.
Gotta go back and find it, so I can drive the snot out of it to Texas in a couple weeks...planning on 2221 miles in 32 hours or less, from Seattle to Arlington , TX. By myself.

this is the route I would be taking

I have put about 16K miles on mine and it has now done 203K miles and going strong! The AC repair/ Door Lock adjustment and Transmission oil change were done by a local Porsche specialist.

During the HOT days here in AZ I sometimes drove one of my other cars with good AC. But I all too often drove the car when it was 110+

The important thing is to DRIVE your car!

christmas break from work is my yearly maintenance week
change oil in both Pcars
every 2 years change brake fluid in both.
valves on 964 if need be
full check on both cars for leaks and such
Nothing has broken on the 964 in 4 years and the TT has a warranty so December is about it except for air pressures and fluid checks
Having a lift sure makes it easier
