In my case, almost 8 years on my 02 S

since I picked up my new Boxster. As of 19,000 miles the car has performed flawlessly. It's as fun to drive as the day I picked it up.
It's all permagrin

Great idea Pedro! Here is a little uplifting news: I took my wife Lynne out for supper Saturday night. Being a gentleman, I dropped her off at the restaurant main door. and a group of kids gave me the thumbs up and pointed at the Boxster. The same day I was sitting at the mall in the parking lot and a couple got out of the car beside me. I guess they didn't see me in the car checking my emails. I heard the wife say, "What a beautiful car hon! What is that!?" She then went to the front of my hood and said< "Oh its a Porsche!" She then saw me looking out at her, and said, "Oh that's so embarrassing, but nice car! " Yes they may have some issues, but when you go to the barn to pick a horse, no one wants the old Camry - er mare!!

How about posting a picture of you and your Permagrin machine!

Your experience has been the same as mine. In 5 seasons of driving, I've put 40K+ miles on my 06. Everyone of those miles caused me severe permagrin, an affliction I'm willing to live with.

Here's to many more great, trouble free miles.

I've got 60,000 (s)miles and nothing much more than routine maintenance, certainly nothing catastrophic or costly. It hit 66F today in ATL and I took it out with the top down for the fist time this year! Kinda like a Valentine's gift to myself!
