Very nice. 139k miles is awesome! Another guy on FB commented earlier that he's got 200k km on his 987.
The other morning, driving to work, 4am, semi headlights in my eyes, dark road (no streetlights), I ran over 4 huge pieces of semi tire from a blow-out. It tore the fender liner out completely as well as the little spoiler in front of the back tire, ripped out the stud that the liner connects to at the top, broke the brake line heat shield, broke the bracket for the TPMS antenna, etc... But, no major damage. I got the liner and heat shield off of ebay for $69 including shipping and tax, TPMS antenna bracket for $7. Will buy the spoiler new for ~$60, and will then have to rig a few of the connection points (stud, hole where a screw goes, etc.... Could have been worse (no flats, no body damage, etc...), but was super irritating.
