always great to have a truck for truck worthy stuff, and those 2-5 mile errands that do nothing but expose the Porsche to parking lot damage, short run time abuse and nasty weather damage.

I'm required to use a company vehicle (or rental) for business trips, and I travel a lot for work.

I'd keep the truck for truck-worthy occasions and continue to use the P-car daily.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Due to the death of my father, I have inherited a 2002 Nissan Frontier pickup truck with 15,000 miles on her. This allowed me to retire my 2000 996 from daily driver role! Now she is my garage queen. I put 30,000 miles on her the last 2 years as a daily driver. I am so glad to park her and drive her only for enjoyment.
Sorry to hear about your Father. Also sorry to hear that you won't be driving your 996 every day. Mine is my DD and no matter where we go, I always enjoy the ride.
You should sell the pickup, take a nice vacation, and go back to diving the Pcar everyday!
Sorry to hear about your father.
And sorry to hear that you won't be enjoying your 996 on a daily basis. Parking a Porsche is like being married to a supermodel and never... well, you get the idea.
Oh! I enjoy looking at it in my garage every day, plus when I need to take a short 2 mile trip, I can do it in the truck and not short drive the 996! I am very pleased that it is not my daily driver now....
Sorry about your father.
But now you are left with the perfect situation. A truck and a Porsche 911.
Were you having a lot of maint issues on the Porsche or just normal stuff?
I'd keep the truck for truck-worthy occasions and continue to use the P-car daily.
Then when maintenance comes up you don't have to rush with either because you have a backup.
Very sorry to hear about your Father, especially so close to Farhers Day. On a lighter note, very happy to hear you will be treating your 996 as it should be. Garaged, clean at all times, well maintained, admired as an artifact, and ready to be used for fun. Good call on your part! Welcome to the common sense faction of 996 owners.
I agree with the OP. always great to have a truck for truck worthy stuff, and those 2-5 mile errands that do nothing but expose the Porsche to parking lot damage, short run time abuse and nasty weather damage. When we had the last hail storm and the hood on my '99 Dakota slightly resembled the surface of a golf ball, I was damn glad the P-car was safe in the garage.
Ditto on that statement. It's a bit like not having a good meal or a woman for a period of time. Both taste sweet when you are eating (excuse the pun there) or whatever. If you had that every day then it wouldn't be as enjoyable. Drive the truck during the week and then at weekend you will really feel the horse power of the 996. I put on about 10K a year last two years but determined to cut those miles back this year. BTW sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. He would have liked you to drive his truck I am sure.
A little over 1000 maybe 1500 but I have done an incredible amount of work on it so that helps. I think I have had it about 9 months.
We should listen to our elders. No offense Hurdi.
I mean, seriously, if you own 4 cars, and you have to leave your car at the Park & Go at the airport, are you really going to drive your nice car and leave it there for the "thrill" of driving it 12 miles on the interstate, so it can be exposed to everything? Sometimes, life just gets in the way. I'm required to use a company vehicle (or rental) for business trips, and I travel a lot for work. (they frown on "profiting" from the mileage rate, which IMHO, is BS) Many are the time I would much rather have been in the 996 on some interesting twisty roads. I'm not saving my car for the next owner, but I do tend to keep my vehicles for at least 8-10 years, so I like it to be nice the whole time I use it.
The maintainance was the 30K service at dealer for $1200, the new water pump, the new alternator, the 45K service. In just 2 short years and 30K miles, maintanance added up. Happy to have her take a rest. Maybe I can do the 60K service in a couple of years instead of next year?
