My car turned 10 years old this month!

My car turned 10 years old this month!
And also turned over 75k miles! Spec sheet shows a production date of 06/2008; I know I can't be alone in this, so Happy Birthday to all of the other launch 997.2s from the same build month!
It may be a 10 year old car... But it certainly doesn't look like a car that old (thanks to the timeless lines and design of 911 heritage and DNA)... And it definitely doesn't drive like a car that old!
A short lived, temporary bare butt shot (accidentally busted off the Carrera emblem while drying the car during one of it's washes... Now rectified)...
And a big one for Porsche in general this year as well...
One of the best automotive decisions I've ever made, no question.

Happy birthday to your car (Whoa, can't believe I just wrote that :-) ) Hmmm, I need to check the build date but I agree the 2009 launch editions are great cars! Just did a 3,558 mile road trip in my C4S and loved it: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...he-dragon.html

I'm fixing to get ready to do Denver to Cincinnati soon; Tail of the Dragon would be amazing to drive at least once in my life (I wonder if I can squeeze that into our trip somehow... It's ~5hrs away, I think?)... Hmmmm...
Love your C4S, and those light weight buckets... Hands down, my favorite seats! Wish I had a pair!

Big congrats, mine is along the same dateline as yours sometime this year as well. Been contemplating moving into a 991 but something about attachment and sentiments with the 997.2 that has me going to keep it. 09’ with 35k miles to date

Hey, thanks for the reminder... mine's an 07/2008 production according to the door tag (although the build sheet says 09/2008?), so the big day is coming up... let's call it tomorrow, July 1st - Canada Day!
I've got 87,000kms (about 54,000 miles) and have owned it for about 3 years, and the car still looks and drives like a new car. I finally gave it some love and topped the CQuartz with two coats of Carpro Reload yesterday - it's gleaming!

And also, it is a tribute to the 997 that they are getting a bit long in the tooth but are still great looking and great performing cars. I’m starting to think that PAG really hit it out of the park with this generation!

i get asked all the time if my 911 is new model... they are aging very well imo.
