Whatever happened to high mileage badges? I did a google search for 100k mile Porsche badges and apparently they don't exist any more. The idea was spawned when a lovely old Mercedes pulled up behind me this weekend and the front grill was festooned with those cool badges. Anyone know if these exist for Porsche?

A 100K badge on a 914 is either a) its still running!, or b) low mileage garage find - $30K.

I believe the only MB and Porsche badges I saw were for KM, not sure I've seen a miles one. Goes to show you that 62k miles was a big deal back it the day. Highest one I've seen is the 250,000 KM Mercedes one.

Are you guys serious? Your cars are quoting some pretty low mileage for something ~40 years old. My '74 is coming up on 180K miles. Engine work done at 135K though.

Rob you want to part with yours for 30k? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


I think the real badge would be

"DD" or "Daily Driver"

Probably 1% of 914's are driven daily now...

I suppose I could daily drive Andrew. Long commute to Berkeley though.

No. I probably wouldn't sell it for 30K (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

I'll have my 8 yo make you a badge! Or better yet, he can use markers on the hood. When's the next concourse?

No. I don't like talking to Ways. He photoshops garbage cans next to my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
