Happy 6th Anniversary!!

Has it really been six years? My how time flies.

121,686 miles (as of last fill-up) and the car is still going strong, no repairs other than the body shop repair after my fender bender. Just routine maintenance.

Still has the original plugs, probably should get that done.
One the second set of tires, but those will most likely need to be replaced soon.

List of "squeaks" that have popped up that could be addressed:
  • Rattle in back deck. Know how to fix, just haven't taken the time.
  • Door handles are fading. They used to be perfect match. They are now dull. Typical red fading issues.
  • Dash pad is pulling up over the middle vents.
  • The plastic vent strip right under the windshield is pulled up on the driver side. Screw probably needs tightening.
  • Serious road rash scrape on the underside of passenger side front bumper cover. No idea how/when that happened.
  • The hood could use a repaint from paint chips. Other paint chips up and down the car in places.

Overall, pretty minor and mostly expected stuff. The paint still looks good when clean (at least from 50 feet) and I still enjoy driving it every day.

If you read the original post here you know I track my mileage pretty closely. Interesting that the MPG continues to trend up even though I have not changed the plugs. I have not changed my driving style, so not sure what accounts for that.
