In some ways agreed - my drive is pretty much all back roads and rural, since I put in a much heavier clutch (JWT) stop and go traffic is really a pain. I only got 30k on my first (OEM) clutch, largely due to city driving in NYC and CT, where I'd be sitting in first, let the clutch out, inch forward, push it in - after awhile esp on hot days, all you'd smell was burnt clutch.

There's no elegant way to let out a clutch when in 1st gear off idle the car would be going faster than the traffic - you end up slipping it more than is healthy.

Now it's just a a lot heavier but the engagement is great.

don't feel too bad about driving it so much. I have a motorcycle and another car so my 06 G has about 5900 miles on it. It's my flossing car for the weekend.
