T2,
Your odometer pic is and will be a dream for many TT owners, as others have said, I hope I am as lucky with my DD (68k miles currently). My kids always ask for the "little" car when we go out.
Enjoy your car in good health.
Sam

But don't Porsches kind of shrivel up and die once you get to 100K? (That's what all the 993 guys would have you believe.) I had a chance to buy an '87 turbo that was about 3 years old and had 100K on it. Obviously, it was cheap. But still above my going-to-law-school-while-building-911-engines income would allow. My 3 3.6L cars cumulatively have 400K on them, though I'm only responsible for about 35K of those miles. And back in the old days, it was not uncommon for a 2.4L car to be 5-7 years old and well past 100K. Which, with the 5-digit odometer led to easy fraud.

Sometime a high miler one of these will drop into my lap for a relative pittance!

T2, BTW any tips on salt & car wash during cold New England winter months. How is the body holding up after all those miles & winter driving?
