As a new year is upon us, I wonder how many miles the 928's have put behind them in 2013.

I haven't done anything over 100 miles yet. Still need to clean up some repairs before I go on longer trips. She's reliable just not that reliable...yet.

You can actually DRIVE these things???

Sorry, I was so busy this year, and traveled so much, that the beast didn't get much attention. I did most of my miles in the "electric chair", or in a variety of rental cars.

But I hope to enjoy it more in 2014, after it got new shoes and transfusions for its various fluids.

Put about 5000+ on the "new to me GT". Many trips back and forth to Maine over the summer and 1200 mile round trip down to Frenzy and back. Up to ~ 31000 miles now as I put her away for the winter.

Two of the 3 have not had much more than 1100 miles. The newer '86'5 has over 3k. Even worst was my '73 914 that had less than 300 miles in past three years. It has been sold just recently.

I think it is time to look at the 944's now. 1990 944s2 cabriolet - 250 miles in 2 years. 1987 944 auto - almost the same. I feel it is time to maybe let a few more go.

About 19K on the GT this year-- including Calif a couple of times, SITM in June, SharrktoberFest and Third Coast in Oct/Nov. At 228K I think it is fully depreciated...

About 4000 miles this year.

Biggest year so far since I own my car (2005).

I put most of them going to SITM and Frenzy (About 3000).
Making those "long" distance trips, make me realise how great the 928 is.
Those car love long distance trip!
Coming back from SITM in one day - 17 hours - showed me how comfortable the car realy is.

Hope to have the chance to make long distance drive(s) again in 2014 for the driving itself of course but also,
and the most important thing, to have the chance to see few of you guys again, and meet others for the first time!

While we continued to enjoy the GTS the S4 didn't move to much. The trip to Yellowstone and back was the bigger miles as well as several local PCA runs out to the Rocky Mtns where we sometimes joined by the Ferrari club.....all good.

For 2014 we are looking forward to several more trips as well as organising the large gathering in Kananaskis in July

I put about 4500 miles on the '88 S4 this year. The longest trip was from Vancouver to L.A. to attend the PCA Escape 2013. The driving tours were fantastic but a long full day for each tour for a total of 3800 miles in 10 days. The 928 ran perfectly.

Put about 12,000 per year on average. Ride motorcycle a lot so that cuts my drive time.

We purchased our car in October and it's been in the shop or not in a condition to safely run (shifter/clutch issues and a leaky fuel line) for most of the time since! Took one long 200-mile trip but otherwise just driving around town.

So we totaled about 400 miles for the year. Clock just ticked over 39,000 a few days ago.
