Default Hit the 50,000km Mark - Still Loving It!

So I hit the 50,000 km mark the other day which is 31,000 miles or so. That is not so easy to do up here in the North where the car usually goes into hibernation from November to April but... we got her done.

Few piks on what she looks like today.... Tons of credit to Xpel for truly complete protection and John Caravaggio who has done tons of appearance upgrades.

Nice job! I'm sitting at 19K. Did you put new tires on yet? I think I'm due. Rear passenger one is completely wore out for some reason.

Looks good!. I have 21,000 miles on mine and am wondering how long the tires will last. I have the standard Z06 tires, not the Z07 tires.

Beautiful car!! I'm partial to the color, but yours is one of the nicest DSOM's I've seen! Congrats!!

OP, you'd never know that car has 31,000+ miles on it. It still looks fantastic. Let me rephrase that. It always looks fantastic!

I will be throwing my third set of PSS on in the Spring. I get 25000 km/15000miles almost exact from both the first and second set of tires. I drive very hard through the US and Canada looking for the best enthusiast routes, but I don't...or should I say haven't had her on a track yet.

My tires have all worn perfectly even and, if one is obviously wearing much more than the others...I'de be getting that into the dealer real quick...and also talking new tires if the alignment/camber is off to the point that one is wearing much more...

Well done my Northern brother. I’m hoping to hit 50,000 miles in a blizzard.

Is it because the engine looks awesome?

Guess I will jump in here as well.
I hit 70K this past weekend.

The car has been flawless except a set of warped rotors replaced under warranty at 4k miles. My only complaint is the "rash" above the brake ducts on the rear quarter panels. (I am stage 1 aero).
