Owned mine 20 months and driven 19K miles. Not bad for a weekend fun car with a few road trips thrown in. Now closing in on 38K total, 997.2S (2011). Always looking for excuses to drive it. Took it on a 100+ mile jaunt to Pet Smart today even though there's a Pet Smart 1/2 mile down the road...T

2010 C4S. 35K when I bought it 15 months ago. 66K now. Still haven't thought about what my next car should be. Still thinking this could be my last car. Never felt that way before!
Got 26K on my rear PSSs but have it on jacks in the garage waiting for new tires now. 7 days without a drive. Subtle panic setting in ... should be back on the road late next week. The F250 is NOT a substitute!

Got my '08 C2 with a hair under 15K miles at the end of last September, now has a hair over 37K. The 90-mile round trip commute to work every day doesn't help, nor do occasional trips to Thunderhill Raceway (about 180 miles away from me). I've cut down on weekend drives, though.

I don't have many total miles (19,000) on my car after 4 years of ownership since buying it new. However, I have made an early New Year's resolution to drive and enjoy the car (due to some health issues.....why save it for someone else, right). I drove the car about 1,000 miles this weekend and believe it or not, just like a real car, I had zero issues....and enjoyed the drive!

90k and counting.
17k since the FSI rebuild.
10k since I bought her last February, just done my second oil change. Will probably hit 12k by the time February 2016 rolls around!

I've been putting about 1000 miles a month on my 2011 C2s since I got it. I'm also putting about the same on my 86 911. I drive both as DDs and switch off my weekend trips. I really like driving a 911 all the time. I really enjoy both. My 997.2 has 34k and the 86 911 has 116k miles.

I've driven my 2007 C2S every day since I bought it nearly 2.5 months ago and continue to look for any excuse I can to get behind the wheel. I bought it with 48,500 miles and it's now approaching 52k miles. I'm on pace for 16k mi/year. Probably driving it too much, but I don't care. That's why I bought the thing!

I purchased mine with 38,000 miles in June of 2014. I now have 45,000 miles on it and so far very happy with the amount of time I get to drive it. Next year, thats another story, later.

I bought my 2005 last July when it had 20k miles on it. I've put about 5k on it since.
It's my first Porsche and I knew when I bought it that I had a lot to learn about Porsches and that this may not end up being my long term dream Porsche. So I bought the one in the best condition that I could and intend to drive it as much as possible and learn all that I can. There may come a time when I decide I want a different Porsche, but in the meantime I'm going to drive the Hell out of it...
