I only have 36k miles on my 06 and I'm glad I don't drive it a lot and stays clean in my garagemost of the time :-)

I agree with everyone chris' car is one of THE cleanest sedans on here and takes wonderful care of it and one of the cars that inspired me but I won't mention the others

Thanks Marcus I appreciate the kind words my friend.

I'd be sitting at over 200k easily. My commute is less now than before but I still average about 17k a year. It really does look better in pics though. Especially Marcus Cooke Photography pics =D shamless plug!

Its always easy to make a car look good when its clean to begin with. I think I told you I hardly had to do any clean up editing on your car, very quick edits. Some others I have to spend hours removing scratches, rock chips, etc.

I might be one of those for you. My lip is in such bad shape I'm almost embarrassed for you to see it.


But the front end is the only sketchy part on my car. The rest is clean.

I bet Tim, that thing had a bunch of rock chips when I took it off of my car and shipped it to you. No worries, I can clean it up in Photoshop.

Welcome back Blain



Purrrrrrr
90% or more of the Gs out here do... every time I see a post with people clamoring over a pic I always think to myself "if you only saw it in person"... it's kinda like when people post 1/4 mile times and dyno numbers - always looks more impressive on the internet than it really is (but people go goo goo gah gah over it).

^Very true Mike. Someone made the comment to me at HF this past weekend that my engine bay looks better in person than in does in pics. Brought a huge smile to my face because in most cases, like you said, that is not true.
