honestly i feel like it, but i used to drive alot for work, and getting back and fowardth from home to work, **** it was the best investment i made, i think at least the lady paid 500$ to get the pink slip from the dodge dealership, and she sold it because of the seatbelt like and idling/cutoff issue and i fixed both the first day LOL....back on topic at 183834k out of all the vehicles ive owned, knock on wood, the ****er is definatly the most long lasting, without the performance parts, ive replaced the struts and waterpump, besides maintnance as well. and i have a fat foot and a heavy hand. mine definatly wasnt built buy a drunk or stoned assembly tech

Mine was a garage queen there for about 6 months when I was driving the kids mustang back and forth to work. Only put about 2000 miles on it in 6 months. Now that I am between 3rd cars (rebuilding another mustang), I gotta drive the truck back and forth to work again. Already put 1000 miles on it in the last month.

Just under 51k on mine, I drive roughly 5 minutes to work. Probably harder on the truck than driving 50 honestly, it doesn't even have time to warm up some mornings.
