I love driving a vehicle and not being scared when 200k closes in, then goes on by. Our Maxima passed 200k a while back, and I didn't even know it! My minivan is at 199,880 miles today, and I still consider it a nice riding vehicle, and would drive it anywhere after attending to some neglected maintenance.
