    Congrats man, if that's the thing to say?:shrug: lol. I know several people that have Mustangs with 150,000+ miles with no problems. I don't consider a vehicle unreliable until it gives several problems over a short period of time. My dad's old van (still running, by the way, just not used very often) had something like 520,000 miles when he quit using it. Never gave any major problems until about 500,000 miles. I guess some vehicles last, some don't.

    Talking about putting very few miles on in a year, my 98 gt has only got 81000; I've put less than 15,000 on it in over 3 years... Funny story, it actually passed 66,666 miles on the way home from when we bought it. Me and my dad only drove about 30 mph for that mile. lol Sad thing is I'll put a lot of miles on it for the next four years, driving back and forth to school and all. :notnice: Still running strong, though:nice:.

    I've driven 33k in 14 months. It's slowed down after 12 months, where I was at 30k. :notnice:

    To the OP:
    I wouldnt consider this sad, you should be proud of your car especially if those were trouble free miles. =)

    thanks for the encouraging words :nice: I guess we'll try to get 120 out of it. Yukon has 18 more payments, then we can get a new car (or two, considering the payment I'm making!)

    funny thing is, the Goat only has 27k miles on it :D

    My '98 DD has 159K and the only repair has been the replacement of the OEM plastic intake which I did myself as usual. Everything else has been upgrades.
