I too consider myself lucky when it comes to my car. No leaks, not a drop anywhere no matter how long it sits. I did repair a hose and oil pressure switch leak a while back. No noticable oil being burned and never have to add between annual changes. Car starts by just tapping the key and idles at 850rpms instantly.
I think living in a warm-dry climate and driving fewer than 4K miles a year does help. My car has somewhere between 90 and 130K with original motor as far as I know. Records were lacking when I purchased 2 years ago.
(knocking on wood - searching for 4 leaf clover - salt over shoulder - rubbing rabbits foot - hanging horseshoes.. etc.)
