Do you plan on keeping it until 1 million miles? What kind of commute do you have that put all this mileage on?

That's awesome... I'm happy for you!
My sister's 1988 CVPI went about 450,000 miles until she sold it, she didn't need three cars. It still ran like a champ too.
Here's to another 500,000 miles on your Mustang... can't keep a horse down!

QUOTE (NickF1011 @ Nov 5 2009, 04:23 PM) How in the heck does a serpentine belt last for 500,000 miles in MICHIGAN? The first one in my Mustang started to crack at around 60,000. i sure do not know how it has gone this long. i carry a new one with me, but i do not see a need to change it out for it has not cracked yet

Wow... 500k!
My 2001 V6 Mustang has 108k and I was impressed that I haven't had to do much more than brakes and tires over the last 8 years
