Default 99,999 miles

The car is sitting in the garage with 99,999 miles on it. This is a big milestone. Just thought everyone should know.

I have to go for a drive now.

From what I hear when 986s hit 100K it is a factor.

why would you say that?

I've had a few issues, but it's still really strong.

I know a few guys in my region who had to get engine replacements in their 986's at 100K. But that was in the early 2.5 engines.

We have a customer about to turn over 160k on his 2.5 liter who is running one of our supercharger kits and has been for the last 2 years. At 100K you're just breaking her in! Drive on Tierce and congradulations.

He was at 106k when he had the blower installed. Commutes in it everyday, rain or shine.
