Default keep driving those porsches!

thats what they all say, but with 70k miles on mine im not so sure how much i should be driving it. thanks to acquiring a second car i only drive it about once a month now and for track days, but really....i want to take the car back out on the road and not worry about milage issues.

who's in the high milage club?

My engine just failed during a 4 day sit in the garage with 54,000 miles on it. I am VERY disgruntled.
