37,000 plus very enjoyable miles, many with this trailer in close trail formation. Having owned many PORSCHE vehicles and still do I am continually impressed with what a great car the 987 Spyder is. Nimble on the autocross circuit, comfortable on long trips and well just, a blast to drive. Yes, senior citizens getting out of sport bucket seats is always a thing to watch but what the heck our bodies may be aging but our spirits are still young

PS old picture, yellow brakes are much more becoming

15k miles on my car. There was a 6 month stretch where it was my DD while VW couldn't figure out what was wrong with my Touareg TDI. Now that they bought it back, and I have a Cayenne GTS as my DD, the Spyder gets driven only once or twice/week. I envy you guys who have nice roads. Our roads in Central Florida are too congested to really maximally enjoy this great car.

Am up at Roebling this weekend to get my fun driving fix in this little jewel which keeps on ticking like an indestructible Timex watch.

Yup, I named and labeled her as Boxzilla about 6 years ago during the time she was being converted to a dedicated track car. Recently we did the Gulf livery wrap and removed the big rear wing to make her qualify to race with a couple clubs I'm planning to join.. With these changes, I renamed her Boxzilla 2.0. She is an absolute blast to drive. Unbelievably stable platform.

Default Need to drive more

Purchased with 3900 miles last July only 4600 miles. Weekend driver, and travel a lot not home enough. Thought about selling, but I love the car and ok with the usage I will not sell the car so all good. My RS has 900 miles in 12 months no plans on selling either. Enjoy the time in them ....except for the today got a ticket in the Spyder 60 in a 35 left turn on a busy street putting some distance between the approaching car. Damn .....but could be worse, hell I could see my neighborhood. I said man I live right there with a smile

I know... actually I was wrong, she had 1736 miles... but I put roughly another 50 on her today wine tasting. She is my nice weather special treat weekend car! Weather is changing here fast and I need to drive her while I can before winter hibernation.

MAN, you guys put on some little miles on those things! I barely put miles on my cars as well, simply because my location and lifestyle call for limited necessity to drive as well everything is very local (most of my miles are because I WANT to drive the car). But it's interesting to see so many 4 digits with some years old cars here.

Ok, I will say this again: Not driving your car to save mileage, is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she will be more desirable to the next guy.
