I don't think I've actually owned it for 10,000 miles. Looking at my records, it looks like 5,000 miles I've owned it. But it's coming up on two years and based on the number of oil changes I've done, that number seems low. For things gone wrong, I've had the splines on the output shaft of the trans strip (that seems weird and rare, just my bad luck, replaced) and the driver's side lower ball joint grease boot tear and start creaking (replacing). Engine is great. I'm going to give the rest of the suspension and the brakes a thorough inspection.
