Default About to hit the 100k mark..Car is finally broken in-->

I'm at 99,975 miles as of this moment. I just had the ABS pump replaced (under the extended warranty) and a claim has just been submitted for my oil temp sending unit. (to cure the almost non-functional gauge)
To date, I've had the turbos replaced, secondary water and cam cover seals, front suspension (control arms and tie rod ends replaced (2x's).
I think I'm ready for the next 100k...
Wish me luck.

Default not terribly expensive to maintain, just expensive to repair-->

all of my repairs to date have been pricey. Turbo's, secondary cooling pump, etc. (all covered under warranty)
Maintenance itmes however have been relatively inexpensive. I'm on my second set of brakes (front and rears, with new rotors were installed last winter), my second battery, and my second set of stock sized tires. Other than oil changes, tune ups and such, car has been a dream.
