Serial killers, rapists and such drive more than the average person because of stalking victims from areas far from their homes. Just saying...

Wife used to put 32-35k miles on her car per year until she got a job that's less than half the distance to her old one. Now she's closer to 18k...it's the family car too.

I put 12-14k/year on mine.

Stalking Chef doesn't count.

My 2005 Silverado has 66,000+ on it, I bought the Vette back in September, it had 31,180 on it then. It has 34,000+ now. I need to do more driving.

Actually they stalk close to home, most of them are nailed in the same city they conduct the crimes, you're very experienced with this, I'm surprised at you.
