thats that scary mileage when things seem to start going down.... but from the looks of things around here people love there cars and take good care of them which should translate to "no worries"

haha, I do the exact same thing. I bought mine used and I reset the trip computer as soon as I bought the car, and I haven't looked at the original mileage since

On a side note, the 2001 Camry I used to drive has 162 000 miles and its still going strong. Toyota makes good cars

I just leave the trip meater on too. I keep track of when I need to get my oil changed again on trip A, and use trip B to keep track of when I should rotate/balance my tires. Much better than the cheesy decal they lick and stick on the corner of your windshield.

Oh, and by the way- I have an LX470, which has essentially the same engine as the GS400. I've got around 170K miles on it, and it runs like new. My GS only has about 70K on it right now.
