t2_996420 is infamous around these partst2_996420 is infamous around these parts
I blew by 218,000 miles this past weekend - 2003 X50 - bone stock. It's by far the most capable, most reliable, most fun, most confidence inspiring car I have ever seen, heard of or driven. It still puts a smile on my face twice a day when I drive it and also when I look at it before getting in to drive it. Yes it sees winters with snow, track days and everything in between. Keep driving it - it's one of the easiest way to take care of it!! T2

No engine mods, bone stock. Just the 9ff wing, sportec wheels and pss9s.

Now that is amazing..

I'd like to see some pics of the car! I daily dove my 2003 Cobra for 5 years before putting her away and didn't even put 67k on her. I'm impressed, you must do a LOT of driving.

Thats it ! I hope some of you guys who own garage queens and are afraid to put too many miles on because it lose value....are paying attention.

I'm in a market for my first Porsche and trying to decide between the 996tt or 997s. Seeing this thread make me want to buy the 996tt even more. I've been driving Japanese made cars for over 25 years and drove the hell out of all of them (went over 140k miles before selling them).
