Bay Area: 35, 84, 9 are all great.
Take the 1 as much as possible of course.
I usually take it all the way down to 101 at Morro Bay then cut back to the 1 in Oxnard.
If you time it right, you can catch the sun rise in those mountain roads or on the coast, and the sunset in Malibu. Done that route a few times.
Bought in June of 2021 at 27k miles.
As of yesterday I’m at about 52k miles.
Road trip to Sequoias and Yosemite in January. Should be fun in some snow!

Just cracked 46k on my GT2. Bought with 33k a little over a year ago. Goal is 100k. 
Congrats! HIGHLY recommend 150/33/166 if you're taking 5 or add 58 back to 101 if you're headed that way. Some of the best roads in SoCal. I'm from NorCal too. Some great roads in Marin, Sonoma, Napa too.

88K miles Daily drive obviously. Bought it at 12K used.
Repairs - 1) waterhose to engine at ~30k miles That's it. Still doesn't use/burn any oil despite daily redlines.
15 HPDE events and about 15 AX days
Changed PCCB pads at 70k miles or so - still had 60% left. Discs weighed at dealersip - said 75% life left
Maintenance
Clutch -60K miles. switched out to LWFW and 4.0 clutch. Replaced water pump and RMS at that time. Also switched to stainless braided brake lines, and installed extra brake cooling ducts at 20k miles.

I purchased this 997.2 GT3 RS in July 2018 with about 28k miles on it. It now has about 55k miles. I track it regularly at VIR. I drive from Richmond to and from the track. My son and I have driven it in One Lap of America in 2019 and 2021. Each competition was about 5k miles including my drive from Richmond to South Bend and back. As much as possible, I use this car as it was designed to be used. It is an amazingly fun car on track.

And I thought I was among the owners putting the most miles on their 997 GT3… Kudos to all of you for driving your cars.
Got mine 2 years ago with 22k miles. Now has 29k.
