Default Turning 30...

Yes, I actually drive this thing - it's the previous owner that didn't. I've actually put 3000 miles on it since I bought it in April.




So, what do you get for a Porsche that turns 30? Her own Porsche? Advice on her 401(k)?

As my buddy would say, "wait til she's 40....then turn her in for 2 twenty year olds"

I rolled over to 64K yesterday. Couldn't get The Beatles' song out of my head ("Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?").

I looked at 69993 on the odo today...it'll break 70K tomorrow. Fast approaching 6k miles in 4 months of ownership. The months of Sept,Oct, and Nov will be busy with miles too. Besides the daily drive to work, every weekend is a bike race somewhere.

I'm pushing for 10K this season, should be easy..

Loving every mile, drive and smile my friend, drive and smile!

I just mark down the mileage each time I get gas, or do any service. And enter into a worksheet each time. So almost all of the those entries are just gas... And from there it's just a simple copy/paste from Excel..

It's nice to be able to instantly see how many miles the tires have on them, when the oil was last changed or how many miles per quart for a given time period, etc.
