Sadly at this rate, my car will need another 8 years before it hits 50k.
Thanks! I love how the roof looks black on the outside and this is how it looks from the inside....

Took the same two photos on April 5th. Love it. Yours really looks great. Mine has 600+ more miles on it now.

Blacking out or replacing my roof panel is on my list of things to do. When I see it on other cars it is extra motivation to just get that stuff done.
And that roof is pretty gnarly! Must be nice and makes the car feel a little more open and 'airy'.

And since it's an '05 I thought this was fitting too...
Congrats on the milestone.
She still looks great too.
Nice thinking on the second photo, but next time you need to make the speedometer match the odometer. Get that road trip with the wife planned and when you hit 55,555 miles take the photo at 55 MPH.

Very nice! Just turned 80,000 myself. I love how the carbon gauge cluster makes the instrument panel look.
