I might take a trophy with my stat. Bought the car brand new (2009 GT500) in Jan 09 and to date I have 1620 miles and 216 hand coats of polish/wax. That works out to a coat every 7.5 miles. On the price category my wife and I paid 49,100.00 for the Snake with less than 2 miles on the odo.

an update on mine - now at 176,400 miles with virtually no problems. Supercharged since 90,000.
Changed plugs this weekend and discovered that the #3 (last one on the passenger side - maybe it is #6, can't remember which way they are numbered) was cracked. I could see the crack and it actually broke in half when I went to take it out of the spark plug socket. That explains the poor performance the last time at the track I guess.
Had to repair the rear end, but that is the result of drag racing on very sticky M&H Racemasters and wearing the tlok and spider gears down. It was cheaper to simply buy a new take off 8.8 again and swap them than it was to get it repaired. Sometime before next summer I will have to swap the tlok out for a Detroit True Track.

5. not having my current insurance card on me and not having my front plate on
6. doing 70 in a 60 (glad I slowed down before he saw me)

I think there might be 1 or 2 more but this is all for tickets in the mustang plus a few warnings
is there a site to check on ticket history?
