It's best if you never keep track. You'll live longer.

I have maybe 4k in my blazer and it's been out of commission for several years. Hoping to go out tonight and put the starter on it. And maybe... JUST maybe, set the timing.

Yeah I added it up once and it was more than the truck was worth new, just in mods. I'm not doing that ever again. Let's just say that I could have paid cash for the GTO, or remodeled my house, or bought another new truck, or gone on an extended vacation without working for almost a year, and still had cash leftover to spend.
