I try to drive my car everyday otherwise I get withdrawl symptoms. And it wasnt even supposed to be my daily driver, I guess it is now.

I hope the novelty doesn't wear off !

I put down my2006 2001-5000 miles in almost 2 months

Edit: currently have ~3100 miles, the next owner will be whoever is in my will.

Didn't vote as I don't have a 997, but thought I'd share anyway...

'06 987S - took deliver on evening of 6/16, and have 4500 miles . And that's after easing up a little bit last week because of other commitments (I hate other commitments ).

I posted for less than 2000 miles, but was done is under 2 weeks. I will likely drive about 25,000 per year, as this is my daily driver.

Lots of miles, but a smile on my face. Hopefully, we will get an integrted Sirius, or XM solution from Porsche, and maybe even Bluetooth. That is all I want.

I travel overseas 120 days a year. After 17 months: 38,000 miles, 19 months to go on a 45,000 lease, plenty of problems, including a new engine at 8,000 miles. What else is there to say....love the car...can't wait to get another one in 2008.
