Thumbs up 10010

I was stopped for a latte and noticed I passed 10K miles

Thanks for a great Daily Driver Porsche!! No issues and car runs and sounds better than ever. Simply awesome.

For anyone interested, the Flickr photo history of the car (mods etc) is here. Cheers!

Do you love it as a DD? Enough space inside? Do you usually drive by yourself?

Okay I am considering getting one for myself. Love it a lot! But I also like panamera but I feel like I don't need it for now, plus I really like a GTS, which costs more than my budget...

Nicoli35, I just turned 19K miles on mine. Replaced the rear tires (amazingly the OEM 19's still had a little tread but were getting slippery) last week, fronts are still good. It's in the shop today for an oil change and the exhaust recall, next week I'm taking a 2500ish mile road trip to Durango CO. It's truly "Porsche everyday," as my old friend once said "I'm not collecting 'em you know."

Great to hear mtbscott! Thanks for the info, and indeed these cars are everyday and all-season useable - they love to be driven. In fact this is my only car since my wife recently earned her driver's license and has taken over our Golf TDI!

Congrats on hitting 10k. Awesome pics. I've put on 2.5k in less than 3 months, but I've clearly got a ways to go before I catch up. This car is fabulous in every respect.

Thanks. I ordered a black set from a '70's 911 in factory black but they have plugs and are somewhat hollow. I need try to make them work simply because they look so good and appear slightly larger.
