A woman in North Carolina has piled up close to 700K miles on her 1989 Mustang GT with the original engine still entact. The secret to keeping the engine running smooth according to her son is regular oil changes and proper maintnence. When executives at Ford got word of the Mustang approaching 700K miles on the original engine they rewarded her with two tickets to this weekends NASCAR race at Bristol Speedway.

Click here to watch the news report, it gave me a good laugh.

My favorite quote from the video news report:

"When you go in a curve it sits down and it goes around like a coyote does"

I bought my 92 Silver Titanium Frost GT new. It now has 306,000 miles on the original engine with nothing more than a reqular maintenance schedule. I rebuilt the AOD transmission once. It's still my daily driver and looks and runs great.
