Beyond happy 
. This truly has been a great car and there's nothing even remotely close to its price range that I would rather have.Hmm, problems. In winter I get the annoying little dash rattle from the driver's side dash up by the windshield. I already have some velcro to attack that problem this winter. That's it.Past problems were the popping sound fron the front suspension and whining/groaning from the rear-end. Both were fixed under warranty. Other than that its been oil changes and tire changes for me.

346K miles?! 
I have to ask... what all has been done to it? Is it yours from the beginning or close enough, or are you its 17th owner or something? That's pretty incredible!
I ask because Awesome's at 186K (and sitting around these days, reasons(tm)
) and I'm curious if she could make that, and/or what all would be involved.
Thanks in advance! Also, I believe a 'welcome to the forums!' is in order, so... yeah, that!

I am 2nd owner since about 285k miles. Guy that owned it previously was 1 of the east coast MRI service technician for G.E. So everything is pretty much highway cruising. Since I have had it I done a valve cover swap, cold air kit, bama tune, underdrive pulleys, and 3.73 gear set. Followed his same maintenance guidelines and have had no problems. Castrol full syn oil and Ford oil filter change every 4k miles
