Actually pretty straight forward. Changing plugs does need to have the tires removed...

I read a statistic on cars that are drive 10k+ a year vs cars that sit a lot and drive less than 5.. and oddly, the ones used more last longer and suffer fewer breakdowns.. win/win.. that said, I drive a lot, and my 2022 Suburu Outback already has 4500 miles... it's more my road trip car anyway.

I’d be inclined to agree with that sentiment. I used to drive a lot more than the last couple of years and the cars loved it. Need to get out there and do more road trips again….

Not a dry sump
