Post How often do you drive your Porsche

Just wondering how often you get to drive your Porsche.... As I may have mentioned, I'm on the road during the week and so it's quite the bummer not to get to drive it more often.

Now if the economy would just pick up.... <img border="0" alt="[soapbox]" title="" src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" />

As much as the weather here will allow, I drove the car quite a bit last week. I have even managed to put on about 4500 miles on it since Thanksgiving.

I just bought mine so I try to drive as often as possible. Mostly on the weekends though. I think I've put 300 miles in one month.

Pretty much every day. If I don't drive to work, I take her for a drive afterwards...

Definitely not enough. Probably once a week for a total of 50 miles.

Only when I think about it, which averages about 14K miles a year, no commute.

We used to live in L.A. and I hated driving the Porsche's in all the traffic. Now we live in the country on a lake in Arkansas! We are about a mile from Hwy 7 that is an amusement park for P-cars. I'm retired (at 53) so don't have to drive it to work, it's just playtime now. It's really tough to decide which great road to explore everyday!!!
Cheers to All..........Robert

We drive our Porsche everyday. Either my wife takes it to work, or I am taking the kids to school in it. It rarely rains here, and never snows, so weather isn't a huge consideration.

Living in Canada, I get to dream about driving my Porsche almost as much as I actually do.... But we have 6 months of nice driving weather.
