One of the "downsides" of owning many cars simultaneously is that no one car accumulates a lot of miles.
Not driving to work daily does it too. Pre-COVID I was typically putting 12 - 15k miles a year on my DD (and I did once put 25k on the Jeep in a year). Now my annual mileage is more in the 7 - 8k range. In the last 11 months since its last state inspection I've only put about 6500 miles on the BMW.

Heres to modern cars and the reliability we have come to expect from our motorized companions!
And here's to ragged but faithful old buckets that refuse to give up.
I bought this '79 Corolla decades ago at around 140,000 miles. Very shortly after purchase, it got pressed into service earning its keep as a delivery car and racked up better than 30k miles a year for five years. I rattle-canned it in suede blue with a flat black hood, played with thr suspension a little, went through many sets of wheels, autocrossed it, picked up the then-future Mrs Monohue for our first date in it, and finally sold it with somewhere around 310,000 on the (broken) odometer.
God bless the humble 2T-C.
My '03 Tacoma is about to hit 190k miles.
