Hit 10,000 cycle hours on my old VMC and it just kept going

I mean, I've been running this 2008 Haas for like 8 years now and I checked the counter last Friday, it rolled past 10,000 spindle hours. Honestly thought the spindle bearings would've given out by 7,000, but with regular oil changes and not pushing rapids past 80%, it's still holding tolerance within a thou. Anyone else got a machine way past its expected life that you just can't justify replacing? Curious what your hour counts look like.
