I was hoping the timing belt job could make it till tax season next year. The car runs and drives awesome. It’s bone stock. When I got it the oil was black. The shady shop I got it from offered me an oil change so I said why not. They filled it a quart or more over the max line. So I had to do my own oil change regardless when I got it home. When I drained the 5+ quarts they put in it the oil came out blacker than I would like to see. So it was probably beneficial doing a sacrificial oil change to clean in out. I can’t say the car was neglected its whole life because it runs supper quiet and seems like it was otherwise taken care of. So I’m just wondering if I should rush that job or if i can get to the 10 year mark. I usually throw a little at 205 reseal in all my engines every few oil changes to help with rubber bits. I can’t say definitely add a bit to the ecoboom to hopefully help get me to next spring I’m just wondering if I’m on borrowed time or still in the safe window. It will be 10 years old next spring and I’ll probably put no more than 5,000 miles on it till then. It’s at 61,000 right now.

Did you pull a carfax report for it? You can get them for relatively cheap if you know where to look (grey market). Bumper alignment looks good, and you're probably fine on the timing belt to be honest. You've got really low mileage for the year, which is fantastic. Welcome to the club!
