any 200,000 mile US WRX's yet?

especially interested to see if anyone makes it there on the original motor, I didn't.

I've changed out the motor (burned valve at 163,000) 3 windshields, 2 rear diffs, all 4 wheel bearings once, one of them twice, two sets of fog lights, 3 pairs of headlight bulbs, both front seats and I can't even count how many sets of tires...

but my CD player, gearbox, struts and springs are all still original equipment and going to be there in the next couple of months as I'm at 193,000 now.
