^ Agreed. I like the Cmod grill... but not sure about the body color idea...

 

Hmm how about painting the grill anthracite gray Plasti Dip (pretty close match to my wheels? I can do the chrome trim around the car too in that color.

 

45 months old this month.
Hit my 80th flight segment on American Airlines last week too (yes that's 40 weeks of travel).
​​​​​​I think I'm pretty close to lifetime Platinum on Marriott and might hit it on American in 2018. Ugh

Ahhhb so few miles. That is crazy but I am sure you have awesome amounts of miles and free hotel nights to take the family on many vacations. When I was younger my dad traveled weekly for work and we would go on many family vacations with free or heavily discounted travel and lodging because of it.

 

You never did get close enough to your phone Friday night for me to smack you 10k miles Sad. Poor car is dying a slow terrible death sitting there all alone.

 

N - i am more than happy to take the Vagon down and put some mileage on the R for you... just let me know..

 

Was just thinking about this topic actually! Need to see some updated pics

 

 

 

is that like 5k miles a year?

 

Can't drive it on the plane.
We have put 39K on the Explorer in 19 months.

Just a better vehicle when you're transporting 5.

 

and here I am about to hit 20k miles since July

 

Wait...you actually drive this thing?

 

 

Up to the Wawa and back.

 

Not even 4k a year

 

Plastidipped my OEM wheels
Finishing up the chrome delete.

 

Looks surprisingly good.

 

Ah forgot did the grill too.

 

Looks great!

 

That looks awesome!

 

Thanks. Yeah it's no Awwwdii or Vag but it's paid for, it still looks brand new and goes vroom vroom when I want it to.

 

Not going black did wonders for how that plastidip turned out. Gorgeous!
Yeah dude, you don't have any headaches with it and it's a luxury performance
sedan. What more do you need? That's awesome.

 

Thanks.

Exactly. Do I want a new car? Sure but I'd rather keep dumping money into retiremement, college funds (3),....

Literally just about bought a new car with the bnei mitzvah bill for 2 of my kids coming up in 2 weeks. Like $4x,xxx

 

More fun with plastidip.

I think I can do the exhaust tips. Guess we'll see.

 

Did you mean to include photos?

Also, the car still looks fantastic.

 

Can you see them now?

 

Yep.

How many more miles have you put on this thing? 5? 10, tops?

 

​​​​​​
Our 2017 Explorer Sport (purchased new on 6/2017) has 72k on it.
The Genesis??? 31K
​​​​​​

 

Looks good, a bit too much contrast for me on the grille, with the matte/satin finish, but looks really well done.

 

"Lightly used"

 

Yeah unfortunately they won't let me take it on the plane with me. Prior to corona was commuting every week to Boston from PA.

 

Better?
Removed some pd from the top section.

 

IMO, the contrast helps.

 

Thanks man

 

Much better to my eye.

 

I've always liked the Genesis sedan. Understated but classy. And the added chrome contrast on the hood helps a lot. The total "grey out" didn't look right.

 

Looks good.

You're not flying right now so you better have more than 5K miles this year. I also went way down on driving miles. I went from doing 45K to 8K a year. The last 3 years I hit EP on AA easily. 150 Segments each year.

 

Drive where? There's nowhere to go.

 

Exactly. I made 1K with United last year and was looking forward to some travel this year but we got China virused. And driving (which I love being in the car for days at a time), not allowed to travel. I guess we'll have to wait.
