How many of those miles did you put on yourself? What's been done to the car service and repair-wise? Just curious (I'm thinking of selling or keeping and if I keep, I'll want to drive it for a million miles.)

Nice wash job. 80 degrees at breakfast time? Damn, it's 60 here right now with a high of only 64 predicted. I'm freezing.

Both the front and rear tires look inside out; ie, with the siping/tread flow backwards. Guess that's the way these tires work. Usually the "V" type treads point forward.

Yeah those are Vredestein Sessantas. They're "parametric" whatever. They look goofy and peeps will always come up to your car and tell you that your tires are on wrong. Good tires, though.

I had the car since 50K miles (almost 3 years ago). The first two years was very easy, almost maintenance free except for the oil changes. Within the last year belts, plugs, CPS (scared the ***** out of me, left me stranded on the freeway), tranny oil and filter, valve cover gaskets, and coolant flush.

Thanks all for the compliments. The wheels are 20" Donz Forge. The fronts are the same weight as the stockers, the rears are three pounds heavier than the stockers. I've notice nothing different in the acceleration or stopping. They are suprisingly smooth, just slightly harsher due to the higher psi in the tires.

As for the rear diffuser, the only time it rattle is when I start the car.
