Noobie! Running on 173k miles

I work as a pizza delivery driver and bought the car when it was 163k and its been running fantastic but I wanted to ask some people whos got more experience what should I be looking out for. My dads a mechanic but has no experience with my car and Im worried that with me putting 80plus miles on it every work day its gonna die out on me. I have been doing reguarly matience such as changing oil and not driving too crazy but Ive never saw a g37 while i was looking for one over 200k. TLDR how much life left should my car have. I love it and dont want to lose it. Im even considering a getting a beater so I stop piling on miles

If you take care of it should go forever.... Check all your fluids, do preventative maintenance, etc. I am at 160k almost now (bought new) and the car has been the most reliable car in my family.

Fluids, fluids, fluids. Check 'em and change 'em.

Motor oil, transmission, differentials, transfer case, brake fluid, power steering, coolant.

What Rob just said... fluids. And your brakes are certainly taking a beating.

I delivered Pizza when I was a young man. It was a fun job for anyone who likes to drive. And the occasional big tip was awesome. However, with all the start/stop city driving and quick romps associated with Pizza delivery, I suspect you're getting about 12 mpg by driving a G37. I'm sure you've heard all that before. Math is just math. Fortunately for you, gas is really, really inexpensive right now.

A 13 mpg car isn't exactly ideal for delivering pizza. Get a beater.

He'll get it there in under 30 minutes though . No free pizza during his shift.
