3 1/2 years! More and more fun!

NVRANUF

It will be 3 years in June. Only problem was a collapsed valve lifter on the driver's side 2 years ago when I brought it out from winter hibernation. Replaced all lifters on that side.
I have my fingers crossed as I am hoping to get it out today.... no ticking!!!!!!! please.
I still love it!

Dudley,

you're a live demonstration of what we say in french: " Quand on aime, on ne compte pas" (close to: when you love someone (something), you don't count (your expenses)

sptschoice

2 yrs and counting what a fun car to drive

John95cab

One year cost of ownership:
-alpine mp3 player and boston acoustics speakers
-45k service
-2 new rear tires
-wire harness recall
-new oil pressure sending unit
-cab motor recall
-new German canvas top

I'm hoping the must do's quiet down so that I can start on the wanna do's.

Dudley

JP, One of my quirks. I track everything.

AGC

It will be three year this July, and loving every moment. Traded in my Testarossa for it and have NOT looked back

DJD

One fun year, 17,500 miles now, guess its just now broken in.

Michael S.

Two years & six months, 16,000 miles... And, wouldn't trade it for the world! Well... ok... maybe for a Turbo S or a TT... But, that's it!

Air Kuul TT

Dave,

Are you a CPA by chance? If I was more organized I would do the same... good job!!

akolodesh

15 months - 11,000 miles - too may $ goodies to think about without getting depressed. Damn, I love this car!

993Dave

One excellent year next week. I don't know if I'll ever stop glancing over my shoulder at it whenever I park it somewhere, or chuckling to myself at the end of the workday as I pull out my keys, see the Porsche crest and know that somehow I managed to make a boyhood dream come true.

Incidentally, this site is a very big part of why I enjoy the car so much.

Dudley

Tony, No, IE. BTW is **** retentive hyphenated?
