I hadn't congratulated you yet, and wanted to. It is terrific to see that these vehicles can perform in the way they were designed for. I think your driving style (somewhat aggressive as you describe it) doesn't hurt, and that there is some truth to the thinking of driving these vehicles as they are meant to be driven. I also suspect you don't go so far as to abuse it, and there is a difference between aggressive and abusive.
I also think that your high mileage suggest you don't do a lot of short trips, that you get it hot regularly if not every day. That is critical IMO.
Congratulations again.
