Default Porsche Fan Chronicles His 750k+ Mile Lifelong Journey

Porsche Fan Chronicles His 750k+ Mile Lifelong Journey
By Brett Foote

Owning a Porsche 911 Turbo for 44 years and driving it three-quarters of a million miles is certainly one story worth hearing.

Agreed. I just purchased my 1995 993 Cabrio with 90k on the odometer in October. Beautiful driver condition car, but I have to admit I was a bit concerned about adding too many miles. Reading these stories reminds me that P-Cars are meant to be driven - not sit in heated garages and admired like art work. I plan to drive it and service it without regard to the miles I pile on!

Article does not mention the work keeping it going all that time, would like to look through 44 years of service and history.

I feel like a dweeb now with ONLY 128K miles!
Would love to hear more about maintaining the car!

If this is the same guy, I believe he has modified the engine and has had heavy work done to the engine in the past.

Default Math check

One million km is a lot of traveling. But, it’s about 620,000 miles, not 750,000.
