Default Newbie here..!

Hello CIVICers
I am new to this board and it's exciting board. [1] To start with I have 99civic w/ 105k miles on it. How far with regular maintenance do you think I can be comfortable with driving this car [2] People w/ this much mileage, do you guyz drive the car for long-distance commute say 400miles one-way or so..
What's your take on this.
Thanks,
dc4mn
