U.S. Economy Shrinks at 4.8% Pace, Signaling Start of Recession

It's possible if you're like my friend whose job was to drive all around Europe hauling specialised parts for construction equipment, sometimes doing 2k km in a single day.

I think he did 60k km (37.5k miles) during the first year, but you couldn't tell that from the shape the car was in, since he cared for both the exterior and interior.

The only thing that showed any visible signs of aging were the windshield wipers - he had so much on his plate that he couldn't squeeze out a few minutes to refresh them.

tbf 37.5k miles really isn’t a lot. in my area in the US it’s common for people to push 25k - 30k a year just on their commute

And that's my point - you can do 100k miles in less than four years.

Is the car "heavily used" after that? I would say that aside from the driver's seat there's probably no clear indication of that.
