Miles on a mostly stock car???

Guys what kinda miles do you all have on your cars? I am going to keep my TA for probably 50 to 60k miles...it's at 68k right now, anything I need to look out for or be aware of? They seem to be good cars if they're well taken care of and maintenance is done regularly.

My car has 276K. I bought with 274k. Im not sure whats been done to it, but it runs like new. The only thing I've had to replace was the A/C compressor. Great cars.

101K+ here, I got it a few weeks ago from a older guy. He had owned it since new. He had a pit in his garage to work on his cars. When I went to look at it, sitting next to it in the A/C'd garage was a black 80's S10 with a vette LT1 in it that looked like GM had put in.

He was original going to keep the Camaro another 5 years so he had replaced a bunch of things over the last year. Opti, Water pump, Plugs, All the seals in the rearend (including new axles) The car drives like it is new. I only have a few things that I want to change. I am using it as a daily driver to keep the miles off my 71 Big block Monte.

All I can say about the Camaro is it sure puts the fun back into driving to work
