detailed my car yesterday. next week will be 9 years of ownership damn how time flies, lol.
first a few pics from may 2004. i bought it may 1 with 84,9xx miles on it. the first pic is actually from the autotrader ad, lol. second few pics are from an sffba bbq the day after i bought it.
now for yesterday's pics
I'm currently at 142,6xx miles and the sides of the car and the rear hatch still have factory paint on them.
front fender, not bad for original GM paint

Glad to see your bird running strong! I'm in my second year of owning my 02, and I've loved every second 
You've been taking good care of it, those wheels look fantastic too.
Anything planned for the future?

thanks guys. not sure on future plans. i just got done doing some interior restoration.
replaced my steering wheel that had cracked leather with a used on out of a low mileage car.
and got a new ABS plastic headliner
the seats were reupholstered a few years ago due to the typical bolster wear and a bit of sun damage on the top of the back seat from before i had the windows tinted.
oh one more small thing i did, i had the calipers painted and got new black hat rotors.
under the hood has gone through a bit of a change as well.
here's the pre engine cleaning shot when i bought the car.
and how it looks now
