50k  . still, i thought i would just put in that nothing major has gone wrong. spark plugs, wires, o2 sensors etc. did get a check engine light once or twice, but i think that might have been from bad gas, or the gas cap not being screwed on tight enough...

Just under 49K on mine.  Only problem I've had so far was a leaky valve cover gasket.

What is your driving style? I think mine and many others' style on here is "drive it like you stole it".
Very similar to yours most of the time. However, there are also those moments when you just need to cruise.

Cool, glad to see a zetec can make it that long. I usually am pretty easy on my car, I rarely go full throttle. Though tonite was one of those rare cases. It had rained and it was me, a srt4, and two v8 trucks. So we had a little fun in our work parking lot. Like redlining, wheel spinning fun for me. And clutch burning and finally tire burning fun for the srt4. One of the trucks has a modded 350 but one of the worst trannies ever, so he did a long one tire spinning, moving burnout. Fun stuff. (Just wish my ebrake was stronger  )

Yeah I'll never sell mine, just because I've put too much money into it. Though really I wish I hadn't modded it cuz my mom would have helped me get a new car this year. Now why couldn't she have told me that before I bought this car.
