Default 50k miles on my 981BS today

My Boxster is now officially a "mature" car at 50k miles. No issues so far (touch wood)!

Truly a milestone, Geo! Congrats. May the next 50K miles be equally uneventful mechanically.

Obviously. But think how much a super low mileage 6cyl BS will [NOT] be worth in a couple of years. Time to drive it.

I bought my BS with 9 miles on it, took delivery 23 Nov last year, now have 15,090 miles on it, loving every mile. I wish I could have one in every color . I put 5,800 on it last summer driving from DFW to Jay Peak for the Porsche Parade last June. Won first place in my class of 11 cars in the Concours.

This was a longstanding joke with my 2004 C4S too. I bought it with 1100 miles and sold it nearly 3 years later with 3300. Let's just say I "use" my Porsches well, but conservatively. Not sure what I'm going to do with this one. With winter on the way, it will see no miles until Spring. To answer your question, 530 miles to be precise.

FWIW, my '13 x3 has 37K miles on it. Not impressed, I know.
