Default 10 years of 996 GT3 ownership
I just came up on 10 years of owning my Midnight Blue 996 GT3. Bought it with ~11k miles, now about 30k. Dozens of track days from 2008-2011. Now garage queen.

Curious how long folks on here have owned yours?

I wish I could be an owner responding to this thread. A decade that is something for a gearhead!

Missed the boat a few times years ago,but hopefully my time will come.

12.5 years and 124K miles (had 5,500 miles when I bought it the day I met my wife-to-be and that night we watched the launch of Shuttle STS-116 on the beach)

We're getting started on the next 12.5 years of ownership.

Congratulations to Backmaker on his first ten-year anniversary!

7 years, 50+K miles. Garage queen now but enjoying every drive. I used to swap cars often, once I met this girl she was here to stay.

Twelve Years with this truly wonderful sports car. Just right within the history of Porsche 911s, not big, not small, no nannies.
Fast* as the majority of the newer Porsches.

Twelve years in August with an average of six track events each year. Still going strong and keeps me young.
