Yesterday driving home from work, its been hot in Phoenix
Yes, it has. I don't have covered parking at work so when the temps get over 110, I don't even drive the car. It's not worth commuting in traffic just to leave it out in the scorching sun all day.
what it does in Oklahoma city... sits in the garage awaiting the next autocross day..dreaming of windy roads that Oklahoma doesn't have...
waiting to go to COTA and HALLET race tacks.
Wow. Six years. Looks like it just came off the lot. How many miles does it have on it now?

Thanks! There is a fine line between Hobby and mental illness
I take meticulous care of her. My wife calls her my mistress. I tell her I get to rub her down all I want and drive her hard and she never complains.
Now has 64k miles. So I put about 9k miles per year on. I do several track days a year and the biggest maintenance issue so far, besides the usual brakes and oil, was a new clutch around 56k miles. Still drives like a champ and looks new for a 997 ;^)

Perfect example of a very well-maintained car that is not a garage Queen and has been driven and cared for properly. The perfect ownership experience in my opinion. My car has a tick over 55,000 miles on it and it's an 09, but I continually try to keep it looking nice even though I drive it fairly often. Most people who comment can't believe the car is 7 years old.

Well said.....I would buy that call all day long over a 5,000 garage and trailer queen.
It's all about maintaining your vehicle both mechanically and cosmetically. Great example on my end is the picture below of an IS300 I purchased brand new in March of 2001. Sold it last December with 189,000 miles on it. Still looked as new as the day I bought it...other than some wheels and ride height mods.
