Default Lucky Timing

I`m driving from my house north to Phoenix about 60 miles. Just got off the interstate and I`m sitting at the light waiting to make a left off the ramp. Happen to look down and I see my 83 S has just rolled to 100K miles. I scramble to grab my phone and take a pic before the light turns green. Just made it. After 35 years the 928 has 100K on the odometer. Now for another 100K..

Congratulations! Great pic- you’ve got to print it out and hang it up in the garage.

My neighbor and I left our respective houses one early morning at the same time and rolled up to the first stop sign side by side. He was doing something strange and I thought something might be wrong so I waited for him at the stop.. He noticed me waiting and rolled down the window and told me that his car has just rolled to 200,000 miles and he wanted a picture of the odometer.

You would have had to be fast, but 100,000 miles and 100mph on the speedometer would have been a seriously cool picture. Just sayin'. Maybe you can plan for 110000 and 110 on the speedometer.

Congratulations!!

Very good. I did the same a few years ago.

There was a discussion here about going over 100K - there were people who said they'd never do it, that their car would be instantly devalued. Others said the car becomes devalued when you stop driving it.

i can understand other people’s perspective but I openly searched for a higher mileage car. Having owned a sub 30,000 mile 997 manual in guards red that I didn’t want to use I wanted something very different.

My view, right or wrong is that it would be worth more with 400,000 miles than it is with 179,000.

100k miles. Broke in finally - now you can start to exercise it properly over triple digits.

easiest way to 200,000 in a 928 is to add up the maintenance receipts
