That my main car won’t hit 100k miles until it is at least 20 years old (based on the current average of just under 5k/year, but this last year it did about 2.5k in a year, so it could be even longer).
My other car at the present average (and this average is going down) will hit 100k miles when it is at least 54 years old.
Even my wife’s car only averages 8k/year and recently has been doing 3-5k/year.
My last daily before my current “daily” averaged 6.25k/year while I owned it even though I drove it daily, drove it on longer trips for racing pretty often, and used it to tow my stuff up here.
And since this is a shitpost, bear poo smells to berries at certain times of the year.
I’m not sure how I can be an auto enthusiast and drive so little. It also seems like I keep doing things to reduce my driving whenever possible...
Maybe I subconsciously would rather drive when I can enjoy it, rather than driving when it is torture.
Feel free to discuss.

I do barely 3k miles a year on mine since I take the bus to work. Won’t hit 100k for another 8 years at this rate, car will be 21 years old by then.

Not my main car, but I thought about that with my M3. It will be another 16 years if I keep the same average before it ever hits 100k.
Then I started thinking I should drive it more, because as I’ve learned this week, no one knows when their time is up. I’m not saving it for the next owner, and should be getting more enjoyment out of it.

Based on its current rate of use, my Saab will never reach 200k miles. This, however, is because the odometer stopped working at 192k.

Wow, I did 5k on my truck last month and one week of that it was parked. Long commutes suck.

I do them, I just usually don’t in my own cars. If it’s over about 200 miles, we might rent a car for a road trip. If it is over 400 miles or so, we’ll use an alternative mode of transport (plane, train, boat) for the long leg.

I think you just earned all the Oppo cred.

Driving at least 250 miles every weekend is a great way to rack up the miles. That’s what I do.

Based on its current rate of use, my Peugeot will never reach 2 million miles as I’d have to achieve an age no man has ever reached before.

It’s not about the size, it’s what you do with it that counts.
Quality over quantity.
