Nothing to worry about, i'm sure your 430 will do 3-4 times that easily. I'm hoping that my 55 will do at least that.

Incidentally, I was talking to another car nut this morning, who has an old Ferrari, discussing engine mounts. Just out of curiosity, around what mileage would one expects engine mounts to be replaced?

i'm about to hit 55k on an 06 so you have nothing to worry about. miles are a good thing for a daily driver. its like a chick that doesnt feel neglected; they will make you happy for keeping them in use. keep it maintained well and the car will reward you. cars with really low miles sketch me out, i dont like the idea of a beautiful automobile sitting around without anyone to love it and take care of it.

haha i drive it all the time. I sometimes just get that feeling and urge and end up needing to go for a drive. Its almost like driving this thing is a drug and i need to get my fix of it or ill go crazy its weird. Guess its better to be addicted to driving than some other things out there.
