And then there's my poor car that had maybe 300 miles in 2007.

I don't think this will be a problem for me, if the Sun is out (live in Washington State) I drive it. Picked it up 2 months ago with 37k, & now I'm pushing 41k, I just can't stop driving it!

The sad part, it's the slowest car I own, but dam is it FUN!

Hopefully bubble boy's garage doesn't show up in this thread! Adrienne that is some driving and I liked your full page spread in the Essential Companion.

Funny how when the late '60's/early '70's cars were 10 years old (when I was looking for my first), you'd NEVER find one that hadn't already, or nearly, flipped the odo once. The question was if it had gone around twice! And they were all pretty good cars, here in California anyway. And they almost all had engine work done. Yeah, those pesky chain tensioners that caused oh so many engines to be torn into with low mileage.

I've been trying to drive mine but with a 6 mile round trip commute to the office each day, it's hardly worth pulling it out of the driveway.
Then, I've got to ask myself why did I buy this car in the first place?
I hope to do some weekend road trips this spring and summer.

If you have traffic, can't the 6mi take an hour?

I put 20k miles on my car since 2002. Where's that global warming Gore promised?

I spent a couple hundred hours buying my 993 and it seemed that most of the 993s out there kind of fell into 2 buckets...

3K-ish or 7K-sh miles per year....

and then there are those on Willhoit's site with like 1K per year!!!! (and selling at damn close to 1996 retail!)

Do what I did....find a longer way to work. Even if it means driving right by the office at least once!

10k a year, lot of bangkok traffic. Friends asking me about stonechip worries and I just say that's what resprays are for. Better to rebuild it every now and then and have fun with it. What if you die of a heart attack tomorrow?
Be safe....

This is a wonderful site and resource, the responses are generally extremely helpful - even if the odd one seems a bit short.
Nice to hear from another Irish Iris - is yours a C2?

Mine has done 8K miles in the last 8 years, - does not seem to suffer at all, no issues to report, apart from me not having enough time to enjoy the car..., try to make a point of moving it at least twice a month..

+1. My 964 is driven between 1-1.5K miles per year, and I have been doing that for 8 years. Not one problem. To save the tires, move the car at least twice per month. Other than that, be sure to get the car up to operating temperature (which takes a while BTW) before putting it back to bed...

Porsches are tanks. They are quite reliable (at least up until the 996s, but that is another conversation)

i just bought the TT and it's sitting in my garage stored for the winter. I look at it and sit in it every day. My wife thinks I'm nuts. She doesn't understand. The car has 54k miles on it. I want ed one with some miles on it because I don't want to have to worry about dried out seals and depreciation every time I get in the car. I bought this car to drive and I'm gonna drive it. Drive your car as much as you can.

I love Ireland and have lots of family in the Cork area. In fact I almost bought a house in Schull in 1999. I still regret not buying it.

Cheers
