Grill medals and terminology

I understand there are grill medals for when the car hits certain mileage (or actually it's "kilometer-age"), but shouldn't there be a grill medal for when you reach that point when you have spent the same amount of money on parts at our sponsor as what you spent for the original vehicle? AND what would we call that? I'm almost there!

Disclaimer: This is NOT meant to be a poke at Phil or his prices in any way, shape or form, do NOT misinterpret this.

With or without inflation? The price of your car new would be about $75,000 in 2007 $.
