My son drove my '79 daily for a few months in '07-'08. It never failed to get him where he was going. Since then, it's been garaged without really getting out. I need to either sell it or put some time into it...

Yep, I drove my 944 daily for 6 years or so, and now the 928 is my car for everything. Our other car is a family minivan, which is not available for me to take to work.

My car is more of a garage queen than a daily driver.
There was a time of 4 years I ended up working 53hr a week and going to night school at the same time so it seemed with hardly any use.Then drove 18wheeler for couple years and also seen hardley any use.Over 17 years it all averaged out to 700 miles a year!!!!So the car is the same shape it was 17 years ago.Its like being stored for 17 years but just enough time driving it to keep everything in use.
Thats one reason why its for sale the other is I still like to find a nice 997TT after.
Someone will end up with a well kept 928.

Heck, I drove 800 miles in my 85. Last night.
Going to drive 800 more tomorrow.
Its a local commuter and long range car.
Pretty good for the Van Winkler, which was a rescue.

I am going on 21 months with my 82 928. I bought the car a year and a half ago sight unseen and I knew nothing of 928's other than it was an affordable Porsche and from what I remember from the movies. Risky Business, Scar Face and Weird Science.
I drove a 82 928 Porsche from San Fransisco all the way to San Antonio, Tx WITH OUT any issues and to this day its a daily driver. With over 230k on the dial.
It was originally intended a weekender car. But it has became a daily driver, as a matter of fact just got back from taking my boys to their football games in it.

Daily Driver from late April to mid - late October. This is when there is no snow or salt on the ground. Never driven when 'in season'.
