100% - I have a really good mechanic that has kept my '87 928 S4 running like a jewel! I bought it May 18, 2011 with 73,294 miles. Four years and a week later, I have 139,566 miles. It's never been down for more than a day for what ever service was needed. This is the best automobile I've ever owned.
Many thanks to Sean Ratts and Roger Tyson

Well, I live in Wisconsin, so it was parked for the winter until mid-March.
Until the first week in March, it was up on jackstands while I sorted out the clutch issues.
I considered "roadworthy even if the roads weren't 'Porsche-worthy'" as "on the road" time.
But I would have been a lot more motivated to get the clutch done if I had been able to get it out on the road.

Since the winter project works was complete both the GTS and S4 are 100% on the road.........so is the Cayenne for that matter

I selected 75/25 but it really is more 99% up, unless I'm doing upgrades or things like brake bleeding, oil and other fluid changes.
Once you sort these cars out, it all driving fun and just doing the routine maintenance.

On the GT I turn the key and go . I try to be proactive on any maintenance . These are very reliable cars if maintained properly , thanks to this forum and the very talented people that contribute , most of the issues with these cars can be anticipated . Really great parts suppliers , and Colin who is very talented .

I would have had to say 100% wrench even if the time line was 3 years.
It all started with a coolant leak. Now it has been almost completely apart and back together. Getting close. Putting fluids back in this weekend.
