Sorry for the delayed response, I wasn't getting notices.
The previous owner had replaced the tires as they were dry rotted and had both the fuel pumps in the tank replaced as well as having the tank cleaned out.
The only thing I replaced myself was the backup light switch and the oil. I scored a free check up by the local dealer in Rockville, MD and they discovered that the spray nozzles for the headlights are spraying in different directions and the windshield sprayers are not working (thinking both are clogged).
As far as use wise i drive it a little bit on the weekends for now. Sort of up in air of if I am going to keep driving it, abuse the hell out of it or hold on to it. Just kidding on the abuse part. Although i am finding it difficult to go from 4 digit mileage to 5 digits.
That seems like minimal maintenance for a Porsche that was stored so long. Again, such a great find. I don't envy you though, ha ha. I'm dreading the day I hit 60k miles. I can't imagine having a car like ours with less than 10k. I guess you can rest in the fact that even when you pass 10k, your car will still be more cherry than everyone else's on here, pretty much.
That brings up a good topic though. With regards to car care, I still use Meguiar's products like their car soap and cleaner wax. I'd say they do a decent job cleaning the car. Anyone using any next level stuff they want to share?
Judging by the Wheel Dynamics thread, I think it’s ok to post about companies if you have personal experience with them. How about a pic of the final product?
Looks like you drive it sparingly with only 2,000 miles in 3+ years.
Yes, Ferdinand sits in the garage way too much with only weekend driving. I drove the car a bit more when I first bought it but now my commute is down to 3 miles a day to the train station so I avoid that short trip with this car.
Here are some pics of the steering wheel and side door pocket redone. It matches the original pretty spot on.
There's a slight difference in shade, far more noticeable in the pics than it is in real life. And I'm told it should darken with time. Overall I'm pleased.
I had all this done by a guy down in Florida ... took forever and I still haven't received the shift boot I was promised as compensation for the delay, but the price was right and the workmanship is pretty good.
Thanks, Ted. Yours is the model that led me to start this registry. I actually started it just to see if there were other Millennium Editions near me. Now that it's going I'd like to get as many owners as possible and share any updates, stories or projects on their cars here.
I've been extremely impressed by the folks who've joined. Of the 10 actual members on the registry we have a supercharged ME, a turbocharged ME, an original owner, an owner with less than 10k miles, someone who has transferred their ME across the Atlantic, and also someone who restored a Millennium Edition as a way to bond with the young sons of a close friend who was the previous owner that passed away.
I'd definitely be interested in hearing how you manage your group.

Finally!! Haha! Um, wow that wood was wratched. The new wood looks much better and defintely has the OEM look. I see what you mean about the leather slightly not matching in yours and '02onthebrain's. I'm sure its hardly noticeable in person.
The dealer had replaced the door bin covers, probably due to sitting in the Texas sun for months, with what I think is Savannah Leather. It too doesn't quite match depending on the light as you can see if you compare first vs. third pic. I honestly didn't notice they were different until a couple months after purchasing. At first I wanted to change them back but I like the leather look better now.
Do any of you know where the GPS antenna for navigation is at on our cars? My NAV isn't finding any satellites and I am wondering if antenna became disconnected....
"Millie" 164 is currently in the hospital having extended open heart surgery. She should be home soon with a slightly enhanced and dramatically improved heart and prostate. Details will follow when the Doc is washing up afterwards.

Give us the deets, Jae! Is this an emergency situation, or is it a voluntary upgrade?
My daughter also named my car Millie. She's 9, lol.
