I think it is because I drive like a grandma
Not really, but I don't do burnouts, donuts, ect...

A bit over 33,000 miles in the past 12 months: up (and down) maybe the best road in the US, highway 1; through the Northern Cascades in Washington, across the plains of Kansas, navigating torential downpours along the Ohio River in Indiana, some perfect, I mean perfect windys (as in curves, I'm not a sailor) in Kentucky (best ribs to be had for money-Mark's Feedstore in Louisville) and Missouri, down the Natchez Trace parkway through Tennesse (Graceland...for the wife, you know); then across those plains again and up through an early fall snowstorm into Taos. Countless trips from Vegas to Phx, Salt Lake, So Cal and other local misc points. Change oil faithfully, 3 sets of PS2's, one tensioner pully (the fixed one) taken off another car so I wouldn't be delayed by and incredilbly helpfull Porsche dealer in Provo, Ut (two CGT's in their garage--in Provo!), change of spark plugs, add gas and I've had a blast.
Reliable? Durable? Fun? Got my vote....

Actually, I'm now at over 210'000 km or 130'000 miles. Spent a few days at the Nürburgring a month ago, and the car still pulls quite well...

But it's soon gonna be time for a new clutch (still running on the original one!). Given what I've been doing with this car, I'd say it's not bad that it hold that long...
