Right, that's what I was attempting to acknkowledge, that some people may tend to more preventative maintenance than others, such as a G owner. I don't want or care to maintain a vehicle with 300,000 to 500,000 miles in mind when I know I won't be keeping the vehicle around that long. MOST people, I think we can agree, don't aim for keeping a vehicle that long.
My sister-in-law tried playing a game like this with me; Gets her Pontiac up to close to 200,000 miles, then decides she needs a new car. I do all the maintenance on her cars. Then decides "wouldn't it be neat to keep the old one going, you know, just to see how long it'll last?". I said, sure, as long as someone else takes care of it, you've been lucky to get this many miles out of it.
