the motor has about 98k on it, it's fairly young, is it wrong for me to expect it to go near 200k with good maintenance?

Drain the oil, if it looks like a milkshake, you've got water in your oil.. and its a head gasket. Don't drive it the way it is.. your gonna need some work done.. and the way its missing and blowing white smoke, water in your combustion chambers will make it so it wont ignite/combust, and if your head gasket is blown, more than likely its not blown for all 8 cylinders, therefore its causing your shaking problem..
