Man, I thought mine looked like crap, but, that is a work car with over 6x as many miles on it... Nice to know one is still soldiering on and I do hope it makes it to 1 million miles! Wish she'd baby it a little more though... seeing that article makes me wish I could (afford to) lavish a lot of TLC on that car - and mine, LOL. Thanks for sharing, gonna try post that up on another site.

She must drive her 5.0 a little 'lighter' than most other 5.0 owners

My friend has a Fox convertible with close to half her miles.
He bought it new. He really drives like it should be driven.
I don't even think he's ever put in a clutch. It just goes and goes.
