So maybe not a 1 owner car, but most definitely you are the the first driver!

So your ~350 miles/month, versus his ~2,500/month.

I would be hard pressed to drive my 996 Turbo 2,500 miles/month.

Likewise - I like to spread the love around on a number of platforms... Also, I am afraid of a catastrophic clutch failure and the most perfect time. City driving only, for now...

Same.

Additionally, there are a couple of places that I frequent (two or three times/week) that I need to drive my truck to because they both have over two miles of unpaved gravel road to contend with each way. Each place is ~100 miles round trip, so they represent mileage opportunities, but I won't take any of my good cars.

Soon, driving on the highway from Vancouver to Calgary - approx. 600 miles - will be exactly like driving down an unpaved road. You see, in BC/AB, they don't really maintain the roads well, they just keep dumping gravel and sand to maintain some semblance of traction, not at all realizing how badly this damages the road surface over time - not to mention the cars!
