    Anyone here drive these cars?

    Well, I just got my car out of the paint shop. A few touch ups. Some buffin' and waxing. They had it about 10 days.

    Thought I'd drive it to drug store tonight. (Pick up some Tagamet). Woman runs into me.

    That conda green car's been driven about a thousand miles a year. (really cuts down on the odds of a wreck)

    About a week ago there was a guy here whose car had been hit in the rear.

    I guess I just took it for granted that people drive their cars. I'm just realizing I've never asked that question....

    (and I'm beginning to have reason to believe they don't)

    Anybody drive these things?

    Give me a couple more weeks to sort the MFI and fuel delivery. Once that is dialed in, it will be driven regularly. I expect 3000 miles annually, at least.

    I got mine about a year and a half ago. After a few weeks of getting the carbs dialed in, it’s been trouble free. A total of 7k miles in 15 mos. Love the look of your car.

    Definitely YES, now there are advantages to living in less populated areas as well, but I would also not chose the 911 or the 912 for a quick run to the store as it would not have a chance to really warm up properly.
    Sorry to hear about the incident.

    Regards
