newbie

New here and wanted to introduce myself. Recemtly sold a 2002 996 C2. This was a garage queen with low miles. I'm beginning my quest for a 997 and want to know how many of you use yours as daily drivers, if any. My search did not get much. Thx ahead.

Re: newbie

Welcome Mike!

Congratulations on your decision!

I drive my "baby" about 2-3 times a week.

Re: newbie

I don't use mine as a daily driver. I have a Detroit "barge" for daily driving, which works out fine, as I get a really good insurance break by using my 911S only for pleasure driving.

I have no doubt that mine would be a terrific daily driver if I needed to use it. After 6,600 miles, it's well broken in and runs like a fine Swiss watch.

Happy 911 hunting!!

Jim

Hi pcarmike!

Did someone say "Swiss watch?" [hi, Jim48] It's even better because it's a S-watch that pumps out over 300hp!

Here's a German "Swiss" watch, Ahhhhh..., it's almost like sex!:

Re: newbie

Welcome to the forum.

I drive mine "every day" to and from work, for work, at the weekends for me and anyone else who wants to experience it

No garage queen for me.

Re: newbie

Thx for the warm welcome. Prob gonna get another C2.I think I will drive it daily for awhile and back it up with something later on to lower the miles. Great board!
