We should have added box type to the ask. Mine is PDK as well. I'd wager the well used Spyders are PDK, it makes the car usable on a daily basis in modern traffic.

2011 with 17500 miles and every drive remains an incredible experience. Truly special cars.

Here’s a pic of mine at the concours this past weekend.

The trailer probably weighs almost what the car does! Hope the tail doesn't wag your dog around the curves. Ha

Glad to see some higher mileage cars report in. It's a beautiful car, automotive art if you will, but looks best in motion......

Trailer weighs under 300 lbs. as it is all alum. Trails great and at 70+MPH I will still get 27 MPG . I think the height of the trailer actually smooths the air flow. When I do tow the trailer I put only light things in the rear trunk

8,600 miles currently, I got the car with 4,200 miles on it about six years ago. I feel guilty that I don’t drive it more but I am a busy guy and I make sure that I do make every mile count. The car is a blast to drive!

2011 & 15k on mine. It would be much higher but the spyder has needy stablemates and a boat for attention competition....

For me the low usage (7600 miles) is a combination of a short driving season in mountainous Estes Park, CO as well as living on a short gravel road, the condition of which isn't always conducive to getting my car to blacktop. The tourist traffic is terrible from late June through September as well. On the other hand there are so many interesting and challenging roads nearby that it is far more exciting to drive than when I lived in flat Iowa.
