Finally hit 300k
...and still runs like a champ. Sure it has a few minor issues, like the rear driver's side window regulator that broke the same day I reached 300,000 miles, but hey, that was still the original part. The other three window regulators have already been replaced in the ten years I have had the car.
Once I get settled in at my new place I may pick up an engine stand so I can replace a number of worn / leaking parts all at once and with plenty of room to work. Beyond that it will remain a daily driver. I am now looking forward to 400,000.

You have plenty left in her, keep going. We are closing in on 400k with ours. Brilliant machines really. If a family can turn loose of a car with 380K+ miles to their college student with few concerns of mechanical failure its a wonderful thing.

I plan to sand and re-clear the top edge along the driver's side as a temporary fix. I polished and waxed the whole car a couple months ago, but the wax stuck in all the chips and cracks in the paint making it look even worse. Now that I have the space for it I want to get a 60 gallon air compressor again. Maybe one day I'll respray the whole car.
