enjoy.
Agree and wonder how a black interior would have looked. Makes me want to drive more than 4500 miles/year!

I have had mine for 10 months now, put about 1500 miles on it so far. At this rate it will take me another 127 years to get to where you are. I need to start driving it more.

I put that in my first month of ownership, and I commute by bus.

OP, congrats, this is a great achievement. Would be great to hear, I mean read. how you managed to keep it running for long without major problems (oil/gas brand, driving style, any SAI problems? etc)

1/3 of a million miles, badass! Inspiring mileage, thanks for sharing.

Have you ever tracked your car and if so, approximately how many track days have you done?

Awesome post, thanks for sharing. I'd love to see a Ferrari put up mileage like that.

I started out changing the oil (mobil I) every 5,000 miles, and after 100k every 10-15,000.
I ALWAYS warm the car up properly. The first few miles under 4,000 rpms and no heavy throttle inputs. Then the fun begins. I think this is way more significant than taking off the engine under tray.
SAI CEL happened about 100k. I had the ports flushed. 5/6 will get you in the hall of fame in the baseball world, sucks in 993 world. I reset it and it's good for a 1000 miles or so and gets through emissions testing (9 years so far).
I'm sorry the mats are so dirty. I think I'll try blue next. They don't make the light grey ones anymore.
According to Quicken I've spent ~ $45,000 since 2006. About $.25/mile.

Shameful! especially with the roads you have access to...

I am 11 months, 9,500 miles.
