I have a taurus, the car is good. My last one, the trans went at 140k.

LOL! i had a mystique, holy **** ive never spent so much money repairing basically everything, then the motor took a poopie

My car, the real only major thing i replaced was the transmission. It lost 4th, i could have fixed it on the cheap but i really wanted a tep trans with upgrades, i even tried killing the old trans (when it was still in the car) i couldn't do it, i beat it for 4 months. Oh and replacing the lifters (127k) when i added the m90. My car now has 150k and going strong. My high compression L36 has seen 15* of knock on the dyno and street more than "just once"
