We drive about30,000 miles a year per vehicle except the little black car about 10,000.

Lots of people that live in the country rack up a hundred thousand miles in a couple years. Our pu is 11 years old and 182,000 miles. I'm going to do whatever is necessary to keep it another 11 years. It will still cost way less and it rides great.
Americans want dependability. They may trade their Buick in three years but find a used pickup anywhere for sale.
