Default OT: How often do you drive your pig

Per week, month or year? I've had mine for just over a year and it was wifey's daily driver for the first 3 months while her Mini was down. Now I make a conscious effort to drive the pig at least once a week, on a Thursday into work..lol as we have other daily drivers. Given that, I have a trailer hitch that I'll be selling soon since it has not moved since the day I got it. Kids r not doing crew anymore so won't be towing any trailers, don't own a boat plus I've 2 other SUVs with hitches.

Just curios to know....

I drive it daily around town and to my daughter's school. We bought our first CTT for roadtrips across the mountain passes and with the 2009 CTTS the trend continues. I suspect that 75% of our 30K miles we have put on since purchase are roadtrips to Grandma's or the cabin in Mazama. I haven't ever had to commute in my Cayenne, and with its terrible mileage, I probably wouldn't want to for very long in Seattle traffic. On the other hand, my last Cayenne saved my bacon when I got hit head on at about 35mph... that piece of mind I don't even have in my F150.

These days - daily - its just so cozy. The 986S is great for MPG and the 951 is just plain fun. Definitely a tough choice as to which car to drive on the nicer days..

I drive my 957 GTS 2-3 days a week to/from work, dropping off & picking up the kids from school. The other days I drive the 996 Targa doing the same thing, plus "fun drives." Once the salt hits the roads, I drive the 957 GTS all the time.

Daily when I'm in the states. However since I'm starting to spend more time in Ireland it's in storage for a good part of the year. I'd say it gets driven <1000 miles/year these days. That certainly helps since it costs me $100+ to fill it up now.

I bought 2008 GTS for my wife daily driver. She found it big in relation of her previous car Saab 9-5... I am looking to Install a trailer hitch because I don't have my truck anymore. I will be interested to buy your trailer hitch.

currently, I daily the 957 V6 and wknd the 957 GTS. Leaning toward selling the base model and getting a more fun daily,
as the GTS has entirely ruined the enjoyment I used to have for the manual v6..

It is my DD, the 993 will rotate in sometimes....but sadly not enough lately. Just rolled past 10k miles(now 92k) since acquiring it late in April. Simply digging it...
