Pretty cool, I love that body style.

Not mine, of course, but "interesting!"

What are you saving the car for, the next owner? These cars are too amazing to sit in a garage. Mine is a daily driver and I enjoy every single mile, now at 56K! At 78 this is probably my last Porsche, but I intend to hold on to it as long as possible and as long as I can get into it. Life is too short to worry about adding milage to your pride and joy.

This!!!! And all things like this. 159K miles on my 2010 997.2 C4S. Will be at 161K miles in the next 10 days. Still all original running gear. Just drive it.

Good on you - only 22K more miles to shoot your age.

Thicc - why are you agonizing. These cars are not like Ferrari's where miles are expensive to rack up or reliability may become an issue. I wish I drove mine more but work gets in the way - I do want to do some road trips in the Turbo over the next few years. So I plan to rack up some mileage.

I just rolled past 40,000 miles on my 991 TTS. I consider this to be pretty low mileage over 10 years. I don’t have any issues with racking up miles on my Porsches. My 997 TT had about 48,000 miles on the odometer when I sold it, and my 996 C4S had over 130,000 miles. These cars are meant to be driven! I remember the last time that I visited the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. There were many cars there on display that had road rash and stone chips on the front bumper and the rear fenders. I loved seeing that.

Looks like the most fun 15 contortionist clowns (plus two in the frunk) can have at any given time...

Agree! Road rash and stone chips can be fixed. But you will never lose the fun, enjoyment, and memories that driving these cars will bring you.
