Like I said before:
How can there be more miles on your GT than there are on you? :confused
Oh, wait...I know how...you put the car up on jackstands at night, start 'er up, drop 'er into 6th, and let 'er idle all night long. That must be it.
Uuuh...no...wait a second...that's how the miles were wrung up on mine...:facepalm: :leaving:
CONGRATS, yeeeew ole lounge lizard!

I think that makes you the undisputed high-mileage champ! Any repairs so far, beyond the usual tires and fluids?

I have a picture of our Lexus hitting 100,000mi at 100MPH and a picture of the same car at 123,456mi 
Pete, none to date. Just routine by the book maintenance. Drive it, get it dirty, clean it. And repeat.
Rasied a few more dollars for our Children's Hospital this weekend. Took 12 donating friends for about a total of 110 miles at the track this week. They got a 140 mph ride and the uncompensated heart care fund got another cash donation. Everybody wins with a GT.
I'll see if I can get a few photo's. My friend Doug K. & I went out together a few times. His GT is a 1966 historic race car. His passengers loved the "OMG god that GT is on fire" experience and my passengers loved the "lets see how fast we could play catch up to the blue GT" on the straight aways. Fun stuff for sure.

Yes I did Scott's upgrade last year. Like them a lot.
Yes my gauges are original and work just fine.

I truly believe it is YOU that is Larry the Lounge Lizard!
congrats Jeff... keep rolling and hope you didn't jinx yourself on the guages
Either they work or or don't. Mine do.
fyi MT might not know about Larry The Lounge Lizard. He leads a sheltered life amongst the tree huggers and salmon fishermen in his 'hood.

Once again I say; I can't hold a candle to Jeffey in that department either! :facepalm:

Still blows me away how you can get 1163.1 miles on a tank of gas. You do reset the tripometer each time you fill up, don't you?
Congrats on a feat that most of us will never acheive (certainly not EP), although, we try!!!
I re-set it when I get the oil changed.
I stopped tracking gas milage a long time ago. This last night I put in 15.5 gallons. To replace the <3 gpm gas I used on the racetrack.

Love it when I'm asked at car shows, how many MPG's I get. I tell them it depends on how hard I'm pushing with the happy pedal. I tell them I can get over 20 MPG's when cruising, but I can also get 2 GPM (gallons per mile) when thrashing it. I also tell them that when putting my right foot in deep, I don't have to watch the speedometer, I can watch the gas gauge go down!!!
Tomcat

Not to hijack but I used to do airshows and used to get asked about mpg/flight time in the Tomcat...so I did the math.
We often flew 2+ hour missions but at full throttle (with afterburner) you could burn all 16,000 pounds of internal fuel in 8 minutes
