will be a sad day when i make it to 6 figure mileage

Quite the milestone indeed. Hopefully it'll make it another 100k with little trouble. Congrats!



I'll be rolling 150 mid summer. It's going to take me 6 years to drive 25k. Needless to say i'm a little anxious to hit the mark.

I'll be rolling 121 this summer lol. Maybe 122K if I stretch it.

I owned the car since 54,000 miles and always thought the same, but actually it doesnt really bother me.

I remember the day i bought the car, i took my father. He asked "if i was sure i wanted to do this" (pay $5000 back when i was 22 years old) and i told him i'd have over $50000 into it when it was finished and Itd "probably have a supercharger on it when it has 120,000 miles on him. The plan is i'm goin to drive it for a few years to get my moneys worth out of it first and tastefully mod while doing so, then finish it when it gets parked/restored."

I can happily say after 4 1/2 years later here i am..right on track.

It would have been nice to of just bought a low mileage car and kept it parked to keep the miles down, that wasnt an option as I was 22 when I bought it.

It's getting ready to be retired to a purely "pleasure" vehicle. The car doesnt owe me a single penny, its a wonderful reliable machine and I feel ive gotten my moneys worth out of it the last 5 years of owning it and putting almost half of the total mileage on the car myself.

I picked up an F150 project and by march that will probably be 100% and the new daily. Everything is up to par on the gfs car and the Mark VIII except the blend door which I'm doing next week so i can park it...then Ive got the cobra bumper, some fresh paint, and a couple other odds and ends that i've been wanting to get done.

I so wish mine only had 100k on it! If yours is "all grown up", then mine is elderly I think she's around 215k now. Still goin' strong!

I have to agree with the other guys, she's just now starting to stretch her legs. I know what you mean though. It feels great when someone asks; "How many miles you have on that car?" 65k! "WOW!"

When she turns 100k it feels like she just joined a statistic because it's a 15 year old car. It's supposed to have a ton of mileage however don't sweat it. I've had Marks with 106k, 234k, 171k, 90k, etc... If she looks & drives as good as she did the day you bought her then that's all that counts.

You see what I mean?
