200k High Mileage Tech Problems?!?!

Hey guys, what should I be concerned about once my car get over 200k?

Whats gunna blow and when? I'm a bit nervous cause I never had a car with sooo much mileage.

I'm at 264,000, and I redline it(ok, so a little past redline) every day. granted not all day. But I indulge a little more than I should. I give it hell. As long as you keep up on your maintenance, you'll be ok.

Redlining it everyday is not such a good idea unless you plan on doing some headwork. I just blew a lifter on one of my valves while spanking a Grand Prix recently

Oh well I guess I HAVE to beef some s**t up eh?
