Maybe being a "garage queen" is not good for these cars.
Zedd06,
Welcome to the site.
I think it depends on how you drive. If you are hard on the car, it may not last that long. If you do a lot of highway driving, around 70-80 mph, and if you maintain it properly with the oil and changes of various filters, it could easily last longer than 100K.
I had that kind of experience with a '92 Ford Taurus SHO. I just junked the car last November, with nearly 303,000 miles on it, most of them highway. Maintenance costs were high, but still a lot cheaper than getting a new, or even a good used, car. Frankly, that's what helped me save enough to get a 911S.
So take care of your car by maintaining it properly. The rest is a function of your driving.
