Justin, Congrats!! Time to find you the 200K badge!
Jimmy, they'll make it! One thing I've learned from my 855; it'll take abuse just like a woman in a Lifetime Channel made-for-TV-movie. Years ago, I got really pissed at the (soon to be) ex-wife for running the car with only two quarts of oil in it, and that was about 150K ago. The key is to keep up with the maintenance. If you can DYI, maintenance won't cost you too much. If you treat it right as best you can, you'll still be able to reach 250K before you know it. My odo broke 18 months ago with 198K on it and I have yet to fix the gears, but I’m sure I’m up there…

Wow, you didn't even slow down and took the photo at 70 mph ! !
Congrats and welcome to the club.
When this happened on mine, I came up on an exit and was able to get off to take the photo.

I didn't even realize there was a high mileage club. I just lost an exhaust valve at 250K+ a few weeks ago. Here is a picture of my speedo from 4/10/2010. Made it to the moon a few months ago.
