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

Daily use makes a real difference. My coworker has a '05 with 37,000 miles....but lots of short trips(less than 3 miles). So far, a head gasket, brakes, tires, cam sensor.
My '03 is all origional at 71,000 except plugs and wires.
My other coworker(yep, 3 of us in 1 office, 3 PT's)has a '02, 101,000 miles. New plugs only(too cheap to buy wires), tires. He changes oil IF he remembers to or the oil light stays on. The poor thing rattles, growls, misses, check engine lite stays on constant.......and just keeps going.
