Holy crap that was fast. I am still in the very low 90's, 92 something. In June I will have had the car 8y. I bought it from the OO with 44k on it. So maybe 50k miles in 8y by June.

That's like around 6300 miles a year.

Looking good Ed ... I really think the convertible has aged well ... still a sharp looking car.

I always try to park furthest towards the back of parking lot away from people. I have been noticing recently big trucks and suv like to do the same

Came back to my car with this guy parked next to me, could barely squeeze into my car.

I could fill up a binder with pictures like that.

Recently I parked in the way out part of a shopping mall where an anchor store had closed (so that side of the lot is really empty.) Came back to a landscape company truck parked right next to my car.

Or just yesterday, I was parking along a curb at a meter. I had the first spot in the row and parked towards the back to give the car in front of mine the most room possible, and someone parallel parked in front of us, between our car and the next car along the curb, in a non-spot making it look like I was not at a meter!

A nice milestone today in the 997.....

It's a bit dirty, but then again - I do drive it nearly every day now.

To a point - yes. Love the power and the 'connected' feeling when driving. But.....
Sometimes it is a bit to 'buzzy' for me, but overall I do like it. I have had to get creative in not having a decent size trunk, but - not too often. Just means two trips. lol

Car looks great do you have any interior shots ... I'd love to see how the interior wore at those miles.
