Today I received my Durametric scanner and ran my first engine report. I was super nervous to see the results of the over-revs, but from what I've read this isn't that bad 😬

It's usually a good idea to pull the DME report before buying the car, not after, but since the last one was 50 hours or so ago, you're probably OK.

Totally. I naively bought the car without running the report 2 years ago. So, the good news is they probably didn't exist before I bought it; the bad news is those over revs were me

You can also take the odometer reading and divide it by the total operating hours to see what the average speed of the car has been. Usually it's in the 30-40 mph range - lower probably means more shorter distance and city or traffic driving and higher, more highway trips probably of longer average distance, but this will obviously be an average.

Three weeks later and I finally got back my engine cover and new bumper from the paint shop. I didn't feel my current bumper could be corrected so I purchased a new one. It has been resprayed before and was an awful job. The engine cover was messed up when someone debadged it.
There are plenty of body shops in Charlotte but I take it 80 miles away to someone I trust. It came out beautifully. The spoiler though isn't closing correctly and I'll probably be asking questions how to adjust it. Put it on the car tomorrow.

Took it to Walmart to get as much seat time as possible before hibernation.
