Next Tuesday will see the six year anniversary of my owning my GT3. In that time I have put just over 25000 miles on it. Very sporadic though as I store the car for months on end when I travel. I'll save you all the in-depth month by month analysis of the miles according to my spreadsheet.

Spent the first half of the year in Australia road tripping a 2004 Golf R32 up the east coast. Will go back later this year or early next year to finish the trip. I returned to Florida early this month. The 993 isn't ready and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to hang around in Florida or not. In the end I jumped in the GT3 and headed north. Hanging in Charlotte for a few days and turned up the 30000 miles today as I headed out to the Petty Museum. Hoping to head west from here and see a bit of Tennessee again. Enjoyed it in the 993 a couple of years ago. Might even sneak a Tail Of The Dragon run in and should be better than the 993 with original 100k plus mileage suspension. Not sure where else I will visit. 2018 is turning out to be an almost permanent road trip.

Think it still looks good for a high mileage car... Photos were taken in Lexington NC.

Do your self a favor - hit the Blueridge and get your GT3 over to the Dragon and the roads in Western NC, North Georgia/ TN. There is no better place to enjoy a GT3! Its as if a Porsche engineer was hired to make the roads in that part of the country. You just can't believe they are public roads - makes me laugh every time I drive up there. I promise, worth the time!

Congrats! I just hit 30K as well. I've been to the ToD twice and the Dragon itself wasn't my favorite road. But the Cherohala Skyway is nearby and that road in a GT3 is an absolutely amazing experience!

30,000 is hardly "high-mileage"...

My '08 cobalt GT3 has 60K - I wish they were all mine but still, love it every time I jump in!

Awesome milestone and awesome color!

Was being a bit sarcastic with the high mileage comment. Had to check the spreadsheet and the car stored for 19 of the 72 months ownership by me. Don't think I will make the 50-60k in the next couple years so well behind some of you.

Back in 2016 I poked around Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina and found some good roads. Will have to check which ones. It was a lot of fun and probably some of them mentioned above. Part of the reason I have come back with the GT3. I was lucky with Tail Of The Dragon and had a dream run with only a couple of slower cars and they moved over within a few turns. Doubt I will get it as good again.

Death to garage queens!

I will hit 40K by the end of this year.

Mine has 50k miles too. The more you drive it the better! Feels like the car is just getting broken in

My RS at 31k

Definitely a milestone - I also hit 30k miles earlier this year (on my 30th birthday). Great car with a ton of life left!

Its great to hear that after 30-50k miles your cars are still running and driving strong.

My buddy has 50k miles on his .1 RS and it runs great.
