Thing would probably get hit by a meteor or something!

Anyway, 29,000 on my 12 GT and it's running like a dream. I'm already planning our 25 year anniversary road trip
LOL. I feel the same way sometimes. My car has been a little bit of bad luck here and there. Mostly b/c of shops (repair shop from the accident and ONE VERY untrustworthy dealer in the area) seeing a nice car and trying to take advantage.

Since I got all of the issues ironed out, and taking it to another dealer since, I've had no issues (warranty related) and I'm almost at 50K now.

2012 DD that I drive like I stole it everyday. I've got 18k miles on it with a tune and JLT CAI. I smelled clutch burning for the first 5k miles or so when I'd get on it hard but that is gone now.

I'm at 59,300, but not my daily driver any more so just over 1,000 miles a month now.

Not a motor issue, but my 2013 with an M6 is in for warranty work right now. I tried to start it the other day and the starter flew apart, busting the bellhousing all to hell. I just got off of the phone with the service advisor and he said that this is one of the first issues of this type. He said Ford is coming down to look at it because it's an unheard of issue. We will see. 15,700 miles on it. Completely stock too. Not even a tune.

Not like a tune is gonna affect the starter motor. You just got a really screwed up motor.

I know that. I was just saying that I haven't touched the car and a tune is usually the first thing folks do. I've been around modding and racing for a LONG time.

Reviving this thread. Just cross 133k yesterday. Anyone else out there getting high up on the miles? I see about 200ish a day 5 days a week. Starting to have suspension/steering problems after going to the dealer.

My new to me 2011 has 75,560 on the clock. Runs fantastic.

Dealership replaced the clutch before I bought it and had to add cats since the P.O. ran without. Best thing about it all was because they added the cats and didn't change the tune it threw a CEL. So I convinced them to buy me a Bama tuner

I have 75k miles on my Mustang and still running strong. I'm not easy on it and have taken it to the track a time or two and have had no issues, other than getting rear ended by a Hyundai. My Mustang won that one. I drove off, it didn't. I do get some valve train noise, more of a chattering than the ticking others have complained about, but it's been doing that for years and it still makes good power. I had a dyno tune last year and was making 410rwhp, 392rwtq SAE.

Good for all of you taking up Carrol Shelby's adage that cars were meant to be driven. I DD my '14 but I don't go far. It's only got about 15K on it but, I applaud you! I intend to keep this one a long time myself, whatever mileage it racks up. I will, of course, take it to the dragstrip and spray nitrous through it; that should even up some of the lower road miles I see compared to some of you...we'll call it the "power adder factor".
