How many bought their's new and still own it?
Ordered mine in August 2007, she finally came in the end of Oct 2007 as a 2008MY, and I still have her with just over 37,500 on the clock.
She was my only car for the first two years and has been my daily driver off & on sense. Now that I got the Raptor, she's on permanent toy duty and I'm treating her to a T56 Magnum upgrade, Koni Sports, and a host of other upgrades. Hoping to visit the strip more this year and maybe try my hand at a road course or two.

I got mine seven years ago this month (think it was March 15 or around there) and still have it with 3 accidents (one major,my fault, nailed an Expedition that locked up his brakes due to traffic in front of him and me looking down at the radio just at the wrong time, then I got rear ended by a girl that just required a bumper cover and then I got grazed/sideswiped when I was at a stoplight by a Chevy Cruze that could have been alot worse if he didn't swerve...his side rear view mirror did a job on my driver side rear quarter panel) and nearly 120K miles on it.
I've had to replace the battery twice on it and the passenger side rear caliper kept dragging and eating pads till I replaced it, but I'm slightly pissed that the remanufactured part has rusted up pretty badly on the outside.
Its getting replaced as my DD next week with a 2013 Ruby Red SHO
Then it becomes a weekend/fun car with me doing some restoration work to it fix it up when I have the $$ for it.

Still rolling the 08 which I picked up new. Just turned 28,000 miles. With my mods, its not the same as it was off the lot by a lot. I keep my cars until the cost of maintaining them exceeds the cost of payments. By the way, the e-force got me a new experience ;-) without a new round of sales tax and refreshed licensing fees.
I bought Lauren Renee on May 1st, 2006. Mileage is 20,800 give or take a few.
She spends the winters in the garage to protect her from the salt they put down on the roads here in New England.

Purchased new in April 2006 I believe. Daily driver and just turned 80K miles this week. She doesn't get a pampered as she did when I was showing every weekend, but I do enjoy opening her up on the highways still!
