bet I could get mine stuck higher.
50! Huh, your still a young buck . 50 is nothing compared to an old timer like me. "139" and I no longer have regrets of driving it too much. At a certain mileage point that whole preserve attitude goes out the window.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Ah yes, the folly of youth [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]
Bought mine at 122K, now 150,618 and going strong. Think I'll sell before it gets to 666,666. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]
Got my 911 at 150K, and it went to 298K without opening any part of the long block.
I think our 968s will enjoy the same longevity, after all they are from Zuffenhausen not Neckarsulm, correct?

Here you can see, it is fine, just a couple of scratches.

Kim: That is just silly miles. Does anyone have more?
Flash: as etherjoe would say, "Good show old bean!"
I just cracked 76K miles but I remember hitting 50K miles like it was just yesterday...I knew the moment would come on my way to band practice and I had my cell phone camera ready. Stopped by the side of the road just by the "Citizens Gun Club" in West Windsor, NJ. It was a great moment for both us of us, a moment we will cherish together forever....

There was a guy at the Dutch get together who has 360 000 km on the clock, the car still looks pretty good.I never would have guessed it had such high mileage just from looking at the car.
