I've never replaced one in ANY of my manual cars either: 1980 Toyota Corolla SR-5 Liftback, 1988 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 2WD and my current BMW.

Come to think of it, I haven't replaced a clutch on my motorcycles either, LOL.

I suppose it also helped that I don't live in a hilly town like SF. And when I'm stopped on a hill, I usually do the Handbrake Trick instead of rapidly switching from the brake pedal to the accelerator with my right foot, which I firmly believe facilitates rapid clutch wear.
