Default Time for a 200k mile badge?

I bought the car new back in April of 01 and finally hit 200k last week on a work trip from Phoenix to Los Angeles to Vegas then back to Phoenix. I must have done the LA to Vegas trip over 100 times and would always pass Zzyzx exit and wonder how they came up with that name. I came up to that exit with 199,998 and decided to pull off and check it out. Note the big chip in my windshield. It too is a 200k mile part and I think it is time to replace it.



I drove a couple miles down the little road and thought "I'm probably going to hit 200k miles on this little road out in the middle of nowhere and the car is going to break down". Of course, the car didn't break down. I hit 200k and decided to take a couple of pics. I also gave the car a little hug and thanked her for the many years of reliability she has provided and of course the "miles of smiles". This car has never left me stranded.




BTW, the blue tape is on there because back in Feb the jackasses @ Big O Tire Las Vegas ran my car into the curb and still haven't paid for repair. The blue tape is literally keeping the diffuser from splitting more.

Wow. That does not look like a 200k car.
Props for upkeep!

(unless it has been repainted)
Care to share any maintenance tips?

Congrats on the Milestone! Glad I get to cruise around AZ with you. I think a 200K badge would be proper.

Oh yea, congrats on getting the pictures loaded onto your computer, I hear its difficult
