I've beaten the hell out of this thing since I bought it with 0.2 miles on it, and she just keeps going strong.

I love my car.

Nice.

I was thinking that Mustangs need a high-milage club like Volvo has but then it occurred to me that no-one can leave their cars alone that long - it's not that the motors wear out, it's that they get yanked for build ups and then the chassis eventually get converted to racecars.

My 95 had over 200k on it when I sold it and only thing that had been replaced was the clutch. Its still going strong.

I think mine was around 190k when it finally broke a timing chain after I was an idiot and didn't replace chains after a cam swap

Now its stripped and in near racecar status if I could ever get motivated to finish it

I have 141,1xx on mine right now.

Bought it with 92,xxx in April of 2006.

I have broken nothing (with multiple autocrosses and trips to the drag strip, on drag radials several occasions).

Never been stranded at fault of the car (twice, both my fault).

Can't complain. It uses about 1 quart of oil between changes, but it's been doing that since I've bought it.
