I had a DE this weekend. Great fun! The Pilot Super Sports are good as advertised. Last run of the day we had a combined group for a 50 minute session. When I got off the track I saw my odometer had 22 miles before I hit the milestone. So I took this pic on the way home....its not the 100 mph pic @ 100K but I did what I could. Very happy I own this car except look at the next thread.

Thanks guys.....I was in 3rd driving around 45 MPH....saw the odometer turn and floored it. I didn't want to post a ***** pic going 30 MPH with the tach at 2000.

Congrats. I hit the milestone a year or two ago and things are still going well (although I have had more maintenance issues after 100k than I had between 50 and 100).
I was at a DE this weekend as well and had an interesting conversation with a new owner of a 50k boxter. He was amazed that a 100k car could be in such good shape. He commented that I had less scratches and even the leather looked better. I tried to explain that mileage is just one of many ways to measure wear on a car. There are just as many 50k cars that are beat to hell as there are good ones. I'll take a well maintained 100k car over a beat 50k car every day.

Alright Pete! Too bad you couldn't get that picture on the track--you were so close. Had a great weekend and look forward to seeing you at the track again soon.
