OK, you know what - replace the "miles" by "km" and I swear your response is almost like mine!! I will do a combo of highway and city but I do about 5000 km/year. It will also be garaged at all times, and I too spot/dust it after each time it goes out. Will never see a wet road and being a weather guy, I will never get "caught" in an unforeseen rain shower. I didn't realize you were as detailed/obsessed as I was..

I still answered YES because honestly, I don't think 1000 miles a year is reasonable because even at 4000-5000 km a year, most will say the car barely drives so 1600 km (1000 miles/year) is almost unrealistic.

After a break in I hope to drive like I stole it. Then provide care and comfort after.

I’m a truck guy and never had a car like this before. I want all the juice out the fruit I can get as a daily driver.
