couple times a year I drive around 1000 miles per day

You can use the savings of having a $20k city car to rent a $70k monster car a couple of times per year, and come out way ahead. You probably need more luggage space on those trips anyway.

The car I drive was only $22k new and it's able to drive moderate jeep trails and get me deep into the forest and up mountains on unmaintained roads/trails which when I'm not on a trip for work, that's where I'm going. You can't rent vehicles like that in my area. I have a Thule hard sided cargo carrier on the roof to hold the extra gear.
