Just do the basic things , keep the oil changed , ect. You could flush the coolant and fresh tranny fluid if you feel up to it. Spark plugs and wires, but i doubt you would need that .

If you haven't done the spark plugs, put them at the top of your list. I did the ones on my SS at ~ 50k and they were fugly. Made a nice difference in power. Did the ones on my Z at ~ 20k and they weren't as bad, but not looking too good. 100k = BS.

as preventative maintenance:
check brakes and fluid
check/replace fuel filter
change tranny fluid
change differential fluid
check/replace pcv
replace plugs and wires
check power steering fluid

Good list, I would add flush and replace radiator fluid. Preventative maintenance will prolong the life of your car, and ward off unnecessary repairs.

Definitely everything mentioned, Also take care of that antifreeze for sure, If your vehicle has the dex-cool in it, its known to gum up and become sludgy @ low miles although they claim it can go 100k i believe, NOT TRUE!!
