Default wanna make 'er last: anything extra I should be doing?

Okay, first off, I drive a 2003 Limited edition; I'm her first and only owner, as well as the only driver. My baby just turned six years old this week, and just turned over to 73k miles the same day. I have always been a firm believer in preventative maintainence; she has no 'health' issues, she sees an honest and reliable mechanic, and is garaged at night. She's been in one relatively-minor accident (hit by an unlicensed driver at about 25 mph just in front of the front right wheel), and was fully and promptly repaired. Looks good inside and out, drives good, all is well.

My hope/plan/goal has always been to keep her until at least 150k, if not longer. At my current usage --- about 300 miles per week --- that'll be about five more years. Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas on anything extra I should be doing to make that goal?
