My 911 is not a teenager any more.

I was out enjoying my '89 3.2 on a nice cold day Saturday...clean roads (no salt) and a hint of sunshine.

Anyway it occurred to me that even the youngest of the 3.2 Carrera's (1989 models) will now be 20 years old soon. I bought my car almost two years ago when it had only 13,313 miles on it. I've since put 6,700 miles on the car so it will be out of the "teens" mileage wise very soon.

Today looks good weather wise so I'm going to take advantage while I can and get some more driving in the 911.

Still enjoying this car! In fact I enjoy it more since buying it now that I've gained some knowledge of these cars.

David

Keep on driving it. Mine passed a sesquicentinneal (150k) and is still pulling strong. Enjoy.

Just be careful. Mine's legal, and it does "drink" a bit!

Have you not heard that youth is great but age brings wisdom and familiarity?

I adopted my 85 Carrera back in 1995 when it was just an adolescent . We have grown old and wise together. Now we have well over a decade of fine memories together.

Did your teenager come from Tipp City, Ohio?
