Great news.

Hey, how's the exterior of the car holding up? Paint?

Love to see some updated pics! Haven't seen the car since the 150,xxx video.

The exterior of my car is in a mess. I never wash my car, b'cuz it doesn't make sense. The front of my car has a full bra. There are a couple areas on the hood and side of the car where the paint is chipped off all the way to the metal. My windshield has so many scratches and chips on it. The car has no dents or dings. Just a lot of chips. My headlights are chipped, scratched and faded a lot. My front lip was broken and ripped off after running over an 8ft alligator on I-75(Alligator Alley).

Time for a repaint? Might be worth it but could cost you a good $2,000 for an average quality job. It may seem necessary if you really intend on running it another 200,000, 300,000, or more miles. You don't want rusting to start. I would at least touch up the chips to prevent rust.
