Actually it had 42K when I got it Oct. of 2010. I've only put 8K in 2-1/2 years. I work from home so don't need to drive to work every day. I drive it every chance I get but wish I could drive it more. Wife and I need to start planning some road trips.

Doesn't look "factory stock" you've modified some outward things

Anyways, yeah you gotta drive it more! I put on 25% of your mileage in 1 month of ownership!

All joking aside looks great. Tastefully done.

Congrats! My 06 had 53K on it when I got it in late July and Saturday after a 440 mile round trip over and back over the Sierras north of Yosemite it had 60K even when I pulled into my driveway. Being a two owner, it too looks showroom clean.

hmmm -- seems to be a lot of black roof-targa/silver cars.
Mine's a DD with 64k miles

OP - your car is looking great

The lighter cars look cool with the black halo I think. Yours is very tastefully done and is beautiful.

Thank you everyone for the comments. I think I have it just the way I want it inside and out. It looks nice and runs perfect and I'm not changing anything else. Best car I've ever had.
And since it's an '05 I thought this was fitting too...

Wow. That is great, she still looks factory new. I'm digging the blacked out halo/roof.

Sadly at this rate, my car will need another 8 years before it hits 50k.
