Put six tanks of fuel in the car in 2013. About half of what it got the previous year, the same as what it got the year before that. I grabbed a Honda Pilot last January to take over the DD duties, and it got a bit more use than the Porsche thanks to a couple projects in SoCal (a rarity). I still put a lot of miles on rental cars each year compared with personal cars, but even that calmed down this year compared with previous.

a total of 0.0 miles for the last 3 years. Still rebuilding the engine (when time permits, and all of the WYAAI) Getting close though. Just waiting for some short R1 Head bolts from Roger and then I can torque up the heads.

I put about 5,000 miles on it this year. That involves working on it when I can (A/C resurrection, fuel system, interior work, transmission cooler lines etc.) during breaks from high school and the weekends.
I only got it 1 1/2 years ago and before that it sat for 12 years baking in the Los Angeles sun protected by a layer of smog goo .
I managed to make it street legal in California in 3 months...
Now I just hope I can get my fuel injectors back from Witchhunter and put them back in before winter break is over.

Mmmm

took the SE for its annual test last Jan (about 3 miles) towed the Discovery up the drive (about 0.01 miles) moved house (about 0.2 miles). Maybe, just maybe I should take it out for a spin once the double demerit points over the Christmas/New Year break are over just to get it over 10 miles this year.

A little over 1000 I would say, but I bought the car in April and since I have spend a lot of time (and money) collecting parts for it. The new paint was finish 15 days ago.

Now, it's time to work on the engine!

I plan to do quite more in 2014!

About 6000 miles in 2013 - a bit less than the average for the last 13 years, but fairly consistent.

Mine is also fully appreciated (and so probably largely depreciated too).

To me it is in almost every way a better car now than when I got it at 34K miles: goes better, stops better, corners better, more comfortable, more features, everything works (some better) - unfortunately it also has rather more paint dings too... tough to avoid

Suspension rebuild kept the miles down, just under 7000. But great miles, of course!
