I'm sure, with 13,000 original km / 8,000 mi, he isn't DRIVING it round trip Irvine - Pebble Beach (or much other driving for that matter).

he personally drove it from AZ back to Irvine when he picked it up after they bought it. he's driven it several times since. Im sure he drove it into the Concourse at least.
