Six months ago I decided to put all the miles on the car that I could during the driving season.... I'll be damned if I'll save it for the next owner.

I'm driving the car for ME. When the next person gets it, I hope he (or she) enjoys the hell out of it. I didn't buy it thinking about how much I can sell it for; I bought it for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the car of my dreams.

Both. I've tried owning a daily driver, but I always end up never driving it. I own a commercial property management company, so I do drive a bit for work. But my wife and I have always gone on lots of road trips. We live in the desert east of Los Angeles, so lots of trips to northern California, Las Vegas and Colorado (I used to live in Vail).
Fantastic milestone.

CONGRATULATIONS!
I'm one who STILL at times will constantly obsess about the miles I put on my cars. OCD? Maybe. Hehehe. Or some twisted notion that the less miles I put into my cars, the less likely it'll need to be serviced by the STEALERSHIP. LOL.
But after seeing that you've reached 100K miles in your Pcar, I'm definitely going to drive and drive and drive my Pcar and NOT feel guilty about putting on the miles!

Congrats on reaching this milestone! The 997 is indeed a wonderful daily driver for a sports car. I still can't believe how compliant the ride is for a sports car. I took the day off yesterday and went out for a nice 100 miles drive up the coast. The weather was in the high 60's - just perfect. The car performed flawlessly and was a joy to drive. I am really looking forward to next thousands of miles and smiles it will bring out! Here is a pic taken yesterday (overlooking Stinson Beach). Life is short - enjoy it to the fullest in good heath.
