I'm about 2 minutes from just jumping on it.

heh, that makes no sense at all.  that is a lot of miles for a 99.  my 98 5sfe would be at about 60,000 right now.

Makes perfect sense. When you subject something to a consistant and repetitive pattern it gets used to that pattern and will function around it. Make a drastic change to that pattern and failure will happen. I've seen it with cars before. Someone takes a barely driven car and turns it into a commuter car, which subsequently falls apart. Or vice versa, someone takes a higher mileage car and relegates it to weekend duty, and it falls apart. It's not 100% true all the time, but happens enough to be viewed as a plausible theory.

Around 20,000 a year isn't that bad, we are talking about a Toyota.

Exactly my thought. Toyota's will run forever if treated right. Besides, if it needs a new motor, that's a very easy and relatively cheap fix and swap.
