Default Turning 100

So I purchased my 993 2 years ago from a FL Auction (read: EBay). with 91K on it. Bone Stock. I really just wanted a Porsche, mainly a 993. I wanted to get back into AutoX'in' with an occasional track day... Two years later I've put 9K on the car, which really doesn't resemble itself anymore (I'll blame R-List for that).. ~ 4.5K of which on the track...
Pics below are from 2 weeks ago at VIR where she turned 100K, ON THE TRACK NOLESS.. Not too many cars marquis out there that can do this. No Substitute.

I've seen your car up close and how you can drive it. Nicely done on both counts, Dave!

Congratulations! Sweet, it was done on the track!
Im getting close. I figure my girl will turn 100 on my way down to Darin's for my Stage III's this spring.

Very nice Dave. Looks awesome in front of those bimmers! I will email you pics of interior this weekend, so you can continue down the slope. Hopefully we will meet up at a track next year, so I can attempt to follow your line.

You have to have a story when your car turns 100.. In fact I thought I was going to turn 100 @ Road Atlanta (only 15 miles from it). Instead I opted not to drive it in-between events so it would turn at the track.
Here is a pic in the Grid at Road Atlanta from last month... You can almost make out the OD. 99,958 miles.
