🪛🔧🇲🇾 Just had the 150,000 mile service done on my GT.


F7B62CFB-1D7C-4261-9919-3F172FBE311A.jpegMore than likely very first GT to reach this milestone.

Actual mileage to-date is 144,864. All service has been by the book.

Kudos to my Ford dealer, Bowen Scarff Ford, Kent, Washington.

I took delivery of my GT there in 2006 with 3.2 miles showing.

And here it is 2022 and Bowen Scarff still has:

1) Same Owner - Mark Scarff
2) Same salesman -Randy Good
3) Same Service & Tech guys and gals- Bryan Adams, John Engfer, Roman Benoit, Sharron Adams, Monica Freed
4) Same Parts guys- Dan Dunn, Randy Carlson

All of my service work has been done either by the Bowen Scarff staff or the GT Guy(s) Rich and Denis.

My heart felt THANK YOU to each of you. Your efforts, at times, were well above and beyond normal. You made it look easy, even when there were difficulties to overcome in getting all of the pieces and parts and liquids to keep my GT on the road.

This is the BEST car I've owned.

Thank You Ford. Thank You Bowen Scarff.

And a special Thank You to Dave Bannister for creating the Ford GT Forum. Which is without question ----- the #1 car forum in the world.

Impressive when engineers don't have time to optimize so they are conservative when designing our GT's.

Likewise Frank. The memories are plentiful. I hope to be driving my GT in 15 years. Hell I hope to be living in 15 years!

Nice work Jeff.
I often use you as an example when I have customers asking if these cars are built to handle high mileage - you continue to raise the bar.
Hope to see you at another event in the not too distant future.

It's been more difficult to go anywhere the last couple of years . More miles to come for sure.
