Two years ago my dad went into a nursing home. I started driving his pickup. A 2014 with 20k miles. I have over doubled the mileage plus drive my own pickup
Does anybody drive less than me?

Ii have a 2018 Subaru Outback with 19000 miles on it. In 2020, I was in and out of the Hospital a lot and I put less than 1000 miles on it that year. I am retired now and do not travel much.
Gee, I thought I was bad only driving about 3000 p/yr.
I drive very little. Most of the time my wife drives. She was a postal carrier and is a very safe driver.
Same here only with the addition that my mom never drove a car either.
That all got to where they needed to go.

Years ago many women didn't drive. Back then we didn't even have a car for 6 months of the year. Heck, we didn't even have a telephone! A pay phone and a delicatessen for bread and milk was only a block away.
Living in the city you either walked for groceries or took a bus to go to the doctor. Our driveway barely fit a car and it was so long the best you could do was shovel a walking path. Regardless, the street was narrow and not on a snowplow route.
I remember when Grandma & Grandpa moved to the suburbs. The house actually had a phone in it. One day Grandpa called up my Mom in excitement because a plow had actually driven by his house.
For my parent's 25th anniversary Dad bough Mom a brand spanking new Pontiac. Now, at 40 years old my Mom got a driver's license.
I’ve put 16k on my 4Runner in the last year…
In England my grandparents never owned a car. It was feet, bicycle, taxi, bus and train.
I keep a logbook of my fuel purchases and mileage. In the past year, I have driven my 2016 Lexus GX 460 slightly over 500 miles. It has only 16,000 miles overall. Don't get around much any more.

Sounds like it but then again if your not out your not spending money so that's always nice. But I would definitely put some gas treatment in it so it don't gum up the fuel pump or filter anything Lucas oil brand is the best in my opinion
Not us, we drive up and down the hiways and byways, visiting this beautiful country of ours.
OP
In my mind's eye I'm seeing white. Am I right?
Ordered and bought a dream car in 2012... it has just over 15,000 miles... most to car and track events... still smells newish...

I should win this. I've been averaging 600 miles a year on the older Toyota I bought 3-4 years ago, and nope, I don't drive anything else. It's almost humorous. I drive so little that it's a constant challenge to find somewhere to drive to every couple of weeks just to keep the battery charged.
What happened was that I broke the car habit about 18 years ago and went 15 years without one. I live in a neighborhood where almost everything is only a few blocks away, so I could pretty much walk everywhere I needed to go. For the more distant exceptions, I had a bicycle, got a ride-share, or took a bus. In the thick of the pandemic, though, I became leery of getting in strangers' cars or crowded buses, so I broke down and bought a car. It does come in handy once in awhile, but I'm so out of the habit that I almost need to make a special plan to drive it.
