I don't know if I like that plan, since my MG is my primary (only) auto, 
but is driven about once a week. I wouldn't want to have to buy another 
car just so my B could be my "secondary" auto.

How do you determine high/low mileage? I have heard that the average car 
is driven something like 20,000 miles/year. 25 years = 500,000 miles!
So low mileage on a 25 year old car would be anything less that about 
250,000 miles, or half the average???
