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.

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.

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

IMO, the contrast helps.

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.

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.
