okay, least driven
 
Here is the start of the least driven 944 registered and ready to drive club. As stated before I put about 2000 miles on mine this year, I'm sure there are a lot less. What about you?

Gawernator 11-26-2013 08:29 PM

Hmm 20 miles in 3 months? Lol

John_AZ 11-27-2013 09:25 AM

Gaw, what about tow truck miles? ;)

1500 miles in 2 seasons.

may 1st to nov. 30.

jhowell371 11-27-2013 11:03 AM

1800 miles in 3 1/2 years. Sunny Sundays only :)

jpk 11-27-2013 11:33 AM

With my 968, I think I put more miles on at the track at DE's than on the street this year...

cockerpunk 11-27-2013 11:44 AM

why would this ever be a good thread?

these cars are made for driving, not sitting in your garage

8000 kms, or 5000 miles in the last 5 months. Before that it spent 2 years on jack stands getting sorted out.

flash75 11-27-2013 02:46 PM

About 7,000 miles in 2 years. 86 944.

Zero miles. Oh, wait- The odometer is broken.....

Gawernator 11-27-2013 06:51 PM

John, it actually is driving fine besides not having the alignment I want! I just don't want to drive it much before I repaint the car, I have started it and will go around the block for a little. My odometer is also broken but I think I've driven at least 7k miles in 2 years!

pfarah 11-27-2013 07:45 PM

Over 9k miles since purchasing it May 2012.

fejjj 11-27-2013 09:29 PM

Agreed!

Guys this isn't meant to be a "good thread" I was trying to bring awareness to the fact that some of us don't drive as much as we should. For my first few years of owner ship of the 944 I spent the time fixing and bringing my car back to original. Then I did a poor respray so I was a little embarrassed. It looked decent but to me not good enough there for I did not drive much. After this next paint job "not being done by me" I will drive this car as much as I drive my Buick.:)

iplagolf 11-28-2013 05:43 AM

Wait…You're supposed to drive them? I thought they were black holes up on jacks in the garage you threw money into…:D Still don't have the oil cooler fixed. Started a new job but will get it done this weekend!

alan6272 11-28-2013 07:35 AM

LOL golf, I'll bet most all of us have been there, like I said the first 2 maybe 3 years that was me. Then after it was on the road there were many other issues I had to deal with.

iplagolf 11-28-2013 09:55 AM

Actually, mine has been relatively free of problems. Had an alternator go south, changed the belts, etc after I bought it. The DME mod went out on the trip back from the east coast when I bought it. Made a jumper and got it home. I see some of the horror stories here and knock on wood for my good fortune! As soon as I get the oil cooler sorted out, I'll drive it to work this winter on clear days. The heater is like a blast furnace compared to the one in the Ranger.

jhowell371 11-28-2013 03:52 PM

In defense of only driving the Red 84 2000 miles in the past 3 1/2 years I drove my other 84 944, "Goldie" 20,000 miles in two and a half years. So far I've put 2,000 miles on the S2 that replaced "Goldie" in April of this year:D My brother is now enjoying "Goldie":cool:

jamess2 11-28-2013 04:53 PM

I have owned my 944 Turbo for almost a month and driven it once. It came to me on a flat bed not running. I figured that out and now getting ready to sort out all the other stuff that's going on. My wife is getting ready to hate me....

That's pretty accurate here. The one I'm working on has been perched in the garage for a decade.

924RACR 11-29-2013 05:26 AM

Zero miles in 4 years in my driveway ('82 931) after a snapped rod bolt. Rebuilt engine finally went back in Tuesday... since it snowed yesterday AM, I can only hope to get maybe once 'round the block before parking it back in it's same old spot for the winter. At least it'll be ready for spring!

(Why did it take so long to rebuild? Blame that thing in my avatar...)

andyshoun 11-30-2013 03:05 PM

Can I be a junior member of the club? ~60K miles driven in the past 5 years. I don't get to drive it every day, but drive it more than my other cars.

alan6272 11-30-2013 04:41 PM

WOW Andy thats awesome, you can the president

Techno Duck 11-30-2013 05:31 PM

About 85 miles since November 25th, 2011... about 15 of those miles were on a trailer going between my house and shop. Its been registered and insured this entire time.. i dont want to loose my white NYS plates.. if i reregister ill get the awful empire gold plate. I probably should have just took off insurance, surrendered the plates and gotten the Metro NY PCA plate... hind sight is 20/20!

Troubled944 12-01-2013 07:27 PM

6 months and counting in the garage on mine...about 40 miles in two and a half years. It won't stay healthy long enough to drive. lol

v2rocket_aka944 12-01-2013 08:52 PM

between 50-60000 miles since 2005. varying usage, always a DD though. just did 150 miles tonight.

Hey, I know that guy!

Have you been driving the 951? If you're at M1 in the Toyota, I'm going to have to give you crap for this post.
