Default Just Rolled Over 100K Miles

So just a quick check, has anyone else broke 100K miles yet? On the whole I still like the car, but it still has some quirks:

The passenger window motor has gone out for the 5th time (this week)
The drivers window motor has gone out 3 times
Had to replace the drivers seat frame twice (I am big, but this is the only that I have every had do this)

Later,

Shaun

I'm at 23,000 miles on my 2003, bought it in Jan 2004.

I've had to have the driver's seat rail replaced, yup I am big too and yes first car I've ever to do this on. (Zs are made for small, light weight Asians!) <==I'M KIDDING ...sort of

Passenger window motor is slowly going....driver's motor already replaced once.

Tranny makes click click sounds and my clutch pedal makes a crunchy squeek sound when pressed. You can also feel it crunching.

My buddy bought a 2006 GT all pimped out. I will check in with him around year two and see if Ford has improved the quality control.

If that was the worst things to happen in 100,000 miles I think that is pretty good.

I got the car in late 2002, so about 35K year for miles. Not any major problems. I did have the tranny problem and that was replaced by Nissan at no cost. Otherwise it has been a solid car. I am starting to get some rattles and other small stuff.

I got it put on about 2 years ago. I have about 65K miles on the TT kit, it runs at 5.6 psi and so far the only thing I had to do for the kit was relace the oil lines once.

100k is something to be proud of, especiall 65k on a TT. How hard do you drive your car with the TT do u do speeds of 100+ constantly, if so are they short bursts in high or low gears?

Ok, when you say "big", what exactly are we talking about? What's your height/weight (if you don't mind me asking)?

Just wanted to know if I'll be needing to replace the seat frame myself one day.

Hey does anyone know where i can get a passenger side window motor at a great price. I feel so ghetto driving around and not being able to lower the window.

Thanks

Drive her....you know she begs for it day and night.

I know mine does! She loves it when I place my foot on her gas pedal....placing my hand over her steering wheel...my firm "ASIAN" (Hmmm MR Q) *** planted right on her leather cushion.

That's insane. I hate to see my miles climb in my car, yet I love every minute of it.
65K on a TT is awesome. For sure this is a great car.
