@SupraLove Yes I try my best to take care of all of my family's cars. Our highest mileage car is my 6year-old car which has 74.4k miles followed by our 10-year old one with 37k miles. I'm 19 years old and if I was fortunate enough then I would have my own FR-S to drive daily, yet it would still have low miles because I don't drive around too much since everything is close by my house!

It might have to do with the background of my dad's side. He grew up in a provincial part of the Philippines so this like a luxury already. His older brother...my uncle...also did this to his 2002 Celica GT and bought a Nissan Sentra so the Celica would be driven less. I probably picked the behavior up from them even though I grew up in US.
I still don't get it. What is the point of purchasing a car that has the sole purpose of providing an extremely great driving experience, only for you to never drive it? It seems like blasphemy. I'd imagine you would do this sort of ultra-low-mileage use to something like a really expensive Pagani or Ferrari, but a 25K mass-produced Toyota? The whole point of a car is to be a transportation device, not a collector's item, unless it's really expensive. It's a sports car. It is meant to be driven to the fullest. Miles mean NOTHING in a car with a rock-solid badge on the front like Toyota.

Sorry if I'm being a bit rude, but this is just too OCD for me to handle. This kind of behavior unsettles me... Sorry.
