Default A milestone reached, 100k for me!!!!

Well, it took a while. I have owned the car almost 4 years. But I put another 50k since owning her and cracked the 100,000 mile mark on Saturday. So much we have been through

I'm trying to think of any repairs I have NEEDED or need to do.
Oil pressure sensor
One of the Tire pressure sensors is 'iffy'
Just had to poke the A/C drainage tube
My reverse lights don't work, grounding issue

Pretty trouble free if you ask me (knocking on wood)
