Thanks guys, shes still running strong just hate the fact of knowing shes getting older lol... A buddy of mine who's a mechanic said mileage is just a number and does'nt mean anything if the car is well maintained

This is very true, but there does come a time IMO when the car just isn't worth running and either needs restoration or scrapping. I think this exclude mileage and has more to do with age. My persona limit is about 15-20 years old. After that all the rubber gets wonky and the wiring can get crispy. Hopefully newer cars are using better materials.

My mechanic has maxed out the odo on his grand prix, wrote off the car and swapped the motor into two separate grand prixs....

Mileage IS just a number.
