Had a bunch, drove them all, some more miles than others, and owned a few cars in between the 1st and the rest. Never had one I didn't like even though I really loved some of them. Will continue to drive them till I can't or until they give me a reason not to, which hopefully won't happen.

1999 Boxster S
2000 911

15 Porsches total, all daily drivers but since they go back to 1967 I have no idea of the mileage. They were:
2-356
1-944
1-928
11-911 (8 air beginning with a 1966, 3 water beginning with a 2007)
After over 40+ years of Porsche ownership, the 991 is by far the best!!!

Porsches;

I've been driving Porsches for over 40 yrs.
I used to collect them in the old days when they were affordable.
Now just 1 or 2 at a time.
The 997s in the last few years.

tromero - just curious, why the 991 for sale? Would you rather have kept the 997?

What I love in this thread is that we see that a lot of Porsche aficionados who have run plenty of air cooled and previous 911 models are very complimentary about the 991.
When the car was released, there were so many complaints about the car becoming a dull GT, having lost the true 911 spirit, etc.
2 years after the launch, the fact that so many true 911 enthusiasts like the 991 tells us something about what Porsche has really accomplished and initial resistance to change.

Keep posting and include a ton of pics please !
