Impressive usage doing 12k a year.
I'm down to under 1k a year; I need to drive my 911 more.

How did you do 60k?
Are you commuting in your 911?
About how old are you?

Two years ago I did 18k miles in twelve months. A big chunk of that was road trips to rallies in Utah, West Virginia and Texas. I have a 60-90 mile commute and I try to daily it as much as possible from April through October. I'm younger than my SC, but not by much ;)

It's easy to rack up big miles if you're willing to put in the work to maintain it, and write off any hope of seeing a financial "return on your investment". I'll die with a massive grin on my face so I consider it money well spent.

If you have 930 cvs, there are high quality options offered for the offroad/sand buggy crowd. I put some bates on my car a few years ago after frustrated with empis tearing after a very short (approx 2 years) time. https://www.racereadyproducts.com/cv-boots--flanges/bates-930-cv-boots/
