How many original owners are still out there

I am curious how many times cars have changed hands. What owner are you of your 996 Turbo/GT-2?

I bought my '02 Turbo brand new...I spec'd and ordered it from Hennessy Porsche in Atlanta. Over seven years of great ownership, and I don't plan on ever selling it.

Same here - '02 speced out and ordered in late '01. This is my 6th 911 (none of the others were kept more than 4 years) and overall favorite.

I ordered my 03 from Pioneer Porsche and took delivery 6 years ago in April. Has been a great car! No plans to move on.

Original owner here...ordered to my spec and delivered 11/17/01
But....since I got my GT3 I rarely drive it...just so boring compared to the 7-GT3

Same time (approx), same dealer, (same sales man ? Chris Huck?), same sentiment :-)
