Damn I've almost doubled the mileage you guys have. I'm at about 140k after 11 years of owning mine. Wish my paint still looked as good as you guys' cars lol

Thanks! In respect to the paint, at least for me, it didn't happen on it's own. I've had the front bumper resprayed, the rear bumper resprayed, the painted pieces on the side mirrors resprayed and I've had the whole car color sanded and buffed twice in the 10 years I've owned it.

My car has gone through a lot as well and thankfully the work done has been more than satisfactory for me.

Here is the timeline:
-My driver's side was run into 1 week before a car show 2008ish
-Rear ended by a texter in an xB late 2008
-Elderly persons casually backing out of a dead end parking lot (with my car backed into a spot in front of a restaurant) and stomping on the gas pedal and pushing my car into and over the curb in front of the restaurant and smashing my front bumper to hell.

Come to think of it, I think that's why my rear shocks are shot. LOL

Damn! Your car's gone to battle quite a few times, never would have known if you hadn't said it! Mine's been in 3 tussles, first I ran over a curb to avoid someone and my driver's rear rim got bent and the torsion beam now has a permanent -1.5 camber on that side. Then a few years later I hydroplaned on the highway and hit one of those drum barricades and wrecked the pass quarter panel. Then the most recent incident was a few months ago with another highway incident and some construction workers that forced me off the road and onto a median that I jumped off which bent my driver's side control arm and the subframe.

In all fairness, my car isn't a virgin

Life really does throw obstacles at us lol
