You may get tired of the car or some idiot may hit you and total it

My car has 254,000 miles and has very strong compression. It runs like a scalded dog as we say in the south. The lawyer who was the first owner took very good care of the car and I am only the second owner. Dont' want to argue, but I don't think I am anywhere close to needing a new engine.
