Well, my '06 GT just passed the 194,000 mile mark yesterday! Still runs great. Did the brakes once, changed the serpentine belt once and the front right hub assembly....bearing noise. All my mileage is highway, 56 miles each way to work. Still can't believe I'm approaching 200,000 miles!

I think I got 36k miles on mine, and it's a 05. I bought a grand marquis half a year ago, and in that time I filled it up once.

I calculated that I don't do more than 1k miles a year in it if I take it out to work once a week. Filled it up once this last half year. It has some gremlins I need to take care of (cluster and door panels) but I am going to save some money and build it up a little so I can take it to car shows.

Yea, I have dropped over 7K into the stang
Do not keep track of the $$s unless you are a glutton for punishment
I will never see that dough again.
It was all lost to the fun I had modding
and all the fun I have driving her.

It has just under 50K and I bought a 2009 Challenger just
so I could kinda keep the mileage down on the Mustang.
