The funny thing is that it will probably run 200k with no maintenance. Nothing is required to 100k except oil changes and a couple air filters.

My subs regularly run 6L Chevy's to spaceship mileage with nothing other than oil changes and maybe a set of plugs when they crest 200k or so.

But I'm done at 50k when the lease is up, I'll let the next guy take it the rest of the way.
