Happened this Sunday morning on a joyride to Durham, Connecticut. Had to mark the moment.

991.2 .... I see what you did there.


Some nice back roads in that area for sure.

Would it have been too much to call the rest of the CT gang?
Great photos, they brought back memories of our first 911 miles which we also spent mostly in 24-karat "cheese mode" while fiddling with the buttons/options and sorting out the sitting position.

Have fun

So, I guess all of us hit that number on the odometer at some point... (it took me only a few weeks after taking delivery because I was fabricating excuses to drive places) but it never occurred to me to celebrate this particular milestone. Well played.

Great call! I wonder if I'll be paying as close of attention when I hit the magical 911 or 991 mile mark... I expect it'll hit me a few miles later that I missed the photo op!

You planned all this, didn't you?

Nice! I live in CT too. Love those wheels. They look great on your 911.

That took a lot of careful planning on your part. Good job. Let's see it again at the 9,912 mark.
Nice Snowbird hat.

Believe it or not I tried for 911 too....but by the time I got my phone out it was 912. Which is a neat ride in its own right but kinda off-theme. Thanks for the wheel compliments. I think they're the best looking of the current crop.

Thanks for posting this... While not at 991, I did hit a milestone today... (And would not even had noticed if you hadn't posted this thread!)

Well done and congrats from another CT owner! I was out that general way this afternoon mountain biking at Rockland Preserve in Madison.
