That's 26k miles per year..... In 20 years. I would say he got his monies worth.

Here it is boys...I gave it a few revs for show only. I was actually standing still at the time.

I like it so much I think I'll make it my avatar.

Don't apologize for throwing in a little showmanship

Great pic, you should be proud of passing the 100k mile mark.

Congrats!

I have about 400 miles to go to get to 100k on mine. I'm driving it to Atlanta next week for some meetings so I'll probably hit it some time on the way back home.

Bravo on the 100K, jasper!

I also noticed in your post that your 02 996 will soon be a lightweight special...what are your plans to reduce weight?

So far it's a console delete and I removed my rear seats..but my wife made me put one back in because I haul one of my children around back there and there's no neck restraint without the seat back. I plan to change the front seat out for something lighter, maybe next year. Problem is that I kind of got used to the heaters in the stock seats.

Other than that....maybe I should change "soon to be" to "one day will be". It's taking me a while to get around to tearing into it.

I did weigh it when I first got it though...3050 lbs with a half tank of gas. I thought that wasn't too bad actually.
