The Count Down To 100,000 Miles Begins. I purchased my GOGT On June 21st 2006 with 3.2 miles on the odometer and on January 1st 2009 I hit 99,000 miles. I think that by January 15th I should hit the magical mark. I do wonder if a 7th digit will appear or if the decimal point will disappear on the odometer or if it just resets to 000000.0, lol. I do plan to write Ford a letter letting then know of this milestone, hopefully they might care. As to the Mileage breakdown on the car. The Ex drove it about 2 miles, my daughter drove it about 1 mile and my Girlfriend Pam has driven it about 10 miles. I have drove her all the rest!!!!! **** they have been some GREAT miles.

I'll keep you updated

Laters, Dale

 

wow...congrats on the accomplishment.

now I must ask, what do you do that requires putting so many miles on the car?

 

maybe sales of some sort?....lots of laps around 465?

Congrats Dale!

 

I'm the Senior Field Tech for my company, Plus I Love to Drive this Car and take lots of Road Trips.

 

wow i thought i was bad with putting alot of miles on my car but wow, congrats end best of luck with your journey into the 100,000's.

i ordered my car in november of 2004, received in febuary of 2005 and currently have 54,300 miles on it.

 

i myself love to take alot of road trips in my car and just show it off to anyone i can.

but not as many road trips as you dude.

 

I remember the day you got that car and posted pics. It was right after mine and, I am up to 7200 miles on it.

 

I just hit 63K - picked mine up in Dec 04.....did miss 7 months while deployed to Iraq though. The wife put 18 miles on it during those 7 months.

Congrats on 100K. Other than oil changes - anything else go bad on you during those 100K miles?

 

No Issues. The Pirellies lasted 75,000, Could have gotten more out of the fronts. I replaced the Brakes at 80,00 to put slotted & drilled rotors and ceramic pads. There are some minor cosmetic issues but oh well. I change the oil every 5,000 with Mobile1 synthetic.

 

That's awesome bro!

I, like you, drive a lot. I bought my CS in May 2008 and have over 15k miles already on the car lol. Keep us updated on the whole deal.

 

congrats Dale, that's a lot of miles

dad drives alot as well, he's put close to 90k on his mountaineer since oct of 2005, and he wasnt able to drive for about 8 months out of that

 

Wow and I thought I drove a lot! I got mine in Aug of 07 and I just hit 30K. Have you had any major issues yet?

BTW I read somewhere the decimal disappears at 100K

 

Congrats! Its sounds like a 100k of some happy miles there.

I just hit 26K on my Grabber and picked it up July 27th,06'.

 

I bought mine in Oct of '06, and wasn't able to drive for a year and still only have 15k on her. Congrats man that's quite an accomplishment!

 

Not mine, but this is what it looks like!

 

wow! 28.5 MPG! who says mustangs can't be economical

 

with my mods i probably get no more than 23 or 24mpg. But hey 28.5 is awesome, i didnt know it was possible in this car lol.

 

If you drive between 52-55 miles per hour solid on a tank of gas I've seen it say 31.9 miles per gallon as far as 176 miles into a tank of gas. Not kidding. Then, a stoplight came, then a hill and then an itchy trigger foot.

 

wow, awesome. i guess you really have to be gentle on the pedal which is next to impossible for me lol.

 

Must be a V6 My GT goes to 140
