First P car. I just hit 11k miles. Bought it brand new March 2016. I drive mostly weekends as well sometimes I drive downtown to work. I got a 70 mile commute total. And I've tracked it 4 times. Driven once to Asheville with wife for the weekend.

Very similar: Cayenne GTS daily and travel to warm climates to escape winter. BGTS anytime I can in the summer. Being retired has reduced the miles on the BGTS to 3k to 5k per year. Used to drive it to work about half the time. What better way to relax after a long day of work; top down on BGTS. Hoping to do a summer road trip in the Boxster as they are great travel cars.

~3,000mi/year. I'll take it to work a few days a month, but most of the drives are on cruises to nowhere in particular, just an excuse to get out and drive it. I often think, "is it worth it to have a car like this sitting in the garage and not being driven more?" But then I drive it and it is a resounding "Yes!"

5 years this coming March. Abt 42 K miles on my watch. A couple of long road trips, but mostly errands and fun drives. I try to drive it at least twice per week.
My longest "drought" was 3 weeks due to travel and snowy weather. That sucked!

When I had multiple motorcycles and would take one out for a spin, I could have sworn the other bikes were jealous. They'd just stare back at me like, "When is it my turn?"

I averaging about 6,400 miles a year on my 2010 manual base Cayman. Most of those miles are probably going back and forth to Porsche related events Lol

Just bought my 911 TT S. I’ll probably put a couple thousand miles a year on it. I have too many cars and motorcycles and work from my home office so not a lot of opportunities. I do start all of them every couple of weeks and let the temp get up to operating temps. Also do maintenance on calendar rather than miles.

5 years of ownership and 21,000 miles, it's clear that I don't drive it nearly often enough.
Thankfully there are a few track miles in there, so I'm not completely clueless on how to enjoy the car.

Daily, as my 14 Cayman S is my only car. My BBS wheels wrapped in Sottozero winter tires go on the car in November and come off late March or April depending on what mother nature is doing. I logged about 15K on the car last year, it has 66K total on it right now. I love being able to enjoy this car regardless of the conditions (if there's 6 or more inches of unplowed snow on the road I just stay home). I was out in some pretty heavy snow the other weekend and the car was great. Because I had proper tires, I was getting around better than most people in AWD cars with "all" season tires.
