I guess I just live wrong
I must be living wrong, too. 22,000 mi. since the end of March, and I just had my last freebie on Friday.

I can't afford to not drive it.

I couldn't care less, but I am curious. I understand owning a rare car and not driving it much, but a brand new Chevy doesn't qualify as rare or collectible. I've owned more antique, muscle, collector, etc. cars than I can count. Every time it got to where I never drove one and it simply sat in the garage I sold it and got something I'd drive.

I don't care if someone buys a C7 and puts 0 or 50,000 miles/year on it or somewhere in between since it has no effect on me. I just don't, and never will, understand owning a car like a C7 and never driving it.

I too have low miles. 1,500 in 9 months. But blame a 7 speed turbocharged Superglide.
