... and Ivelis got me a quick photo on the way to work.

He's still solid—what gets replaced is almost always the wear items (tires, brakes, etc.). There's now significant wear on the steering wheel, so we might get that fixed. Seats are solid and performance is still great—the LS3 has retained its edginess, which I like. Only the elderly telematics really date it.

They are—that dark gray dash material shows everything.

Well, the engine is "almost broken in" then.

When you hit 100k, a used car salesman would call it a "low mileage" car.

The LS3 will last 4x longer easily, my early version (Vortec 5.3) is at 194,000, uses no oil, etc.

Surprising about the steering wheel but it's an easy fix.

Congrats.

Is the wheel that Alcantera material? Yea... it wears fast. Get it redone in real leather and be thrilled!

50k? Baby. My 92 is at 217k!

Congrats! The car will serve you well for many more years.
