As long as you keep it maintained the car will continue to run fine.

I'm in the same boat. My 98 has 95k on it. You would never know that by looking at it. I never even look at the ODO on the DIC, I might check it once a month, but most of the time I only pay attention to what matters.
You have a C5. A dream car to a lot of ppl. Just take care of it. Every car will encounter a problem eventually, but hell, fix one thing at a time, mod the hell out of it, and rip it! These cars are suprisingly easy to work on, so when you ever encounter a problem, this forum will be right there and everything and anything you want to know about your car can be found on this wonderful resource.
Don't sweat it. Miles are only for dealers and insurance companies.
