chuckstl,
So far your mileage is the highest I've noted at 126,000 + miles.
Was actually glad to see your post w that mileage.
What kind of TLC maintenance/driving habits do you have?
How often do you use SS?

Highway milage has very little wear.....

Thanks Juniel. Maintenance wise I have always done Mobil 1 every 5K miles and coolant every 50K miles. I do the ATF every 25K miles. I can do all the work myself which helps money-wise. Annually I bleed the brakes and change out the power steering fluid. I rotate the tires every two months also. The timing belt and drive belts were done at 102K miles. I'm on my third set of rotors, second set of pads (rear still stock), third set of tires and have had to have one alignment, one rear sway bar link and one idler pulley replaced. Since I wash it nearly daily it is always clean inside and out. Paint still looks good (Monterey Blue) except front bumper cover which ended up with a sand blasted look after 90K miles so I took it off and had it painted so now the car looks new. Funny thing too is today I put on OBX headers as I'm always looking for more power. As I write this I'm almost finished. Tranny is stock unit and has held up great. Engine uses no oil between changes, and it runs as good as new. Goal is to make it to 300K miles.

Driving habits: Mornings start out slow and easy for ten minutes, then I drive the way I want.

Using SS: I don't use the SS side, I just go 5th to 3rd on the freeway when I need to, or 1-2-3-4-5 on the right side if I'm playing with someone. Never do a neutral drop of any kind!
