I came across some documentation for my car and realized that in the past year, I have only driven my car 1,000 miles. Talk about retaining value. It’s a 1999, and it doesn’t even have 40,000 miles on it yet. Of course, it helps that when I acquired it in 2002, it only had 800 miles on it (thanks Uncle C!). I guess traveling for life does have its benefits to some degree…

It’s also scary when you have more “airline miles” in one year than you do miles on your car. Heck, I’ve got more airline miles in one week than I do on my car!
