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?

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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
My brother is now enjoying "Goldie"

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....
