Default O 100k mile Brothers, Where Art Thou?

An entertaining movie if you can stand G. Clooney... Just hit 100k miles, woohoo! '07 997.1. Still love her and still performing well... knocking on wood as I type

Anyone else out there over 100k? Post pics!!!

Great to read this, far too many garage queens out there. Yet another testimonial that these cars are made to be driven, and driven hard. Have you had any major issues other than the normal routine maintenance being performed (brakes, belts, tires, water pump, etc?).

I will be eventually. I love driving mine. Just got it a couple of months ago, and I am already going through seasonal storage withdrawel, and I haven't fully put it away yet! I see many thousands of miles on this fantastic machine!

Not as many 100k mi brothers as I had hoped! Must more than just 4 or 5 of us?

No major repairs (knockin on wood right now!). Most expensive were clutch (50k miles), water pump (proactively replaced at 60k miles) and hot start cable (80k miles). All other just standard service!

Hey guys I’m curious if any of you is keeping an extended warranty. I’m still at 71k but Fidelity prices are so high (even from Mike) and even powertrain warranties.

I got a groovy set of tools, neosporin, ibuprofen,and a whole big kit of cuss words. Do it myself (except for my clutch... rats got me.)

I have a long way to go until I hit 100K in mine but I just wanted to mention that my door sill plate is just as scuffed up as yours

96,789 miles on my 997S, loving it. I stopped daily driving it once it reached 90,000 miles so it might be a year or 2 before I reach the official 100k mark but I look forward to it. Purchased it with 10,038 miles in 2009. Fantastic machine, have had it over 8 years and hope to own it for life.

Impressive gents. You're an inspiration to us all. 44K until I reach the 6 digit club. Can't wait.
