I've got an '87 Ford F-150 closing in on 200k miles. No engine work, that I know of (I'll have to check with the previous owner, my grandfather), but the A/C is shot, got a new transmission at 160k miles, and the heater's not working (temp. control is stuck or something - easy fix supposedly, but I haven't had the time to take it to my mechanic). About time for a brake job, too. Problem - not much fun to drive.
