Like you, I keeping this car for the long haul. If you mean you read Mike Miller's maintenance schedule, then you should know that more things need to be changed prior to 50K miles than spark plugs. But bascially this is what I do: diff @ 30K, tranny @60K, engine oil @ 7500, spark plugs @ 45K, air filter @ 30K. Microfilter @ 30K,coolant x 2 years, brake fluid x 1 year. Fuel injector cleaner is good to use about every 5K. The injector flush they offer at the dealership is a rip off. Alignment is also something that needs to be determined. Does your car track true? Are your tires wearing evenly?
Rotors are replaced when they're worn too thin, so that has to be determined. My experience, with my style of driving, is that rotors are good for 2 pad changes.
Hope that helps.
