Just hit 50k on my 2013

Milestone #. I love this car; I've only driven it for 20k of the miles. I drive in an awful Dallas construction filled traffic hellzone, so it's def not easy on the car. At 50k, I can def feel it's not as smooth as it was when I first got it at 30k miles. I've been fighting some slight front end vibration issues for about 5k miles now that kills the ride quality some and rattling over bumps has worsened. Other than that it's being throwing the 2138 code so I'm going to replace the APP sensor which should hopefully correct it. I traded in a 2011 LS for this one; the LS had 65k Miles but it actually felt like it held up better than this one has.

I plan on celebrating her 50k miles this weekend by changing all 4 rotors/pads, oil change and diff fluid change. Then I'm going to just start tightening things around the car since it appears from the rattles things are working their way loose.

In the next 3-5k miles I'm going to just replace all of the fluids, then in the next year work on some suspension upgrades. I want to Daily Drive this another five years which means I'll be staring down 150k + miles then. Should be interesting.

Haha, I just reached 30,000 on my 2010 and I took a picture to remember it as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that.

Nah you're completely normal! I just get 15,000 but I'm not proud of that cause I've only had my car for like 8 months... I drive too much..

I guess in a couple of years, I'll take a picture of my 2010's odometer when I hit 10,000 miles. I have 7,650 as of now.

I was talking to a guy at this past weekends cruise in. He had an early 2010, serial number 287 or something like that. Just paid it off and had 6xxx miles on her. No way could I not drive this car more than that, it's just too fun!!

Congrats on 50k. Your vibration may be due to tires. I just turned 2700 on my 2013.

Wow, I thought mine was low at 7,650. I feel like I'm running it into the ground now. LOL.
