I posted something like this in the air-cooled forum, but I wanted to see some good examples of the 996s out there that are running strong. It seems that for some reason other forums have been bashing the 996. Maybe it was the rare examples of engine failures. In any event, let's prove that these cars can run just as reliably as the others. No, I don't own a 996, but I've driven one and was very impressed...

Rules: If you have an original car, original engine, please say so. If your engine has been replaced or rebuilt, please specify the mileage before rebuild, but you can obviously still post the total mileage. After all, there is a difference between a car with 90,000 miles and an engine rebuild versus a car with 80,000 miles on the original engine. But both are respectable!
