I believe cars are meant to be used. I've put 43k miles and am a few weeks from my 2 year anniversary.
That said, I'm starting my next assignment on Monday and will be driving 220 miles per week straight through the NYC Metro area to Long Island for 2 months. So I got another rental today. A Taurus with 12k miles. I've led the discussion a few months ago about driving it vs storing it, especially in high-risk winter driving, but that commute was 770 miles per week, not 220.
I don't mind piling on the miles, so long as I'm putting the miles on for my enjoyment or a reasonable commute. I'm one of the 3 "in between" (at this moment). Finally, being right in the 14"-18" snow band for this weekend's snow storm, and on stock Goodyears that have been sliding in the rain since Autumn, Nancy is *definitely* sitting this one out, and maybe even all snow for the rest of the season.
