My car's aesthetics have gone downhill pretty quick this year. It's time for me to get to work, but I'm just too damn lazy and cheap.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i921.photobucket.com-11654-1405632811.1.jpg) It used to look so good, nice fresh satan black trunks, shiny paint... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i921.photobucket.com-11654-1405632811.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i921.photobucket.com-11654-1405632812.3.jpg) Then during one of the cold snaps earlier in the year the paint cracked, I guess water got on there and froze. IIt's starting to rust worse than I wanted to let it get. I haven't even washed it lately. At least I drive it every day!

At least I drive it every day!
...and that is all that matters! The creators did not focus on how pretty their precious would look after however many years sitting in a garage. Porsches were designed to actually be driven, not parked! And yes, sometimes driven in the F'ing rain! Did you all ever wonder why they put windshield wipers on them? And what's a ski rack for, if not for taking it up to a ski resort to go skiing, in the actual snow! Keep on driving it! Every day! And enjoy the ride, every day! If some parts rust while your driving it, well, so what? Refinish or replace, and move on, all the while your driving it, since Porsches were meant to be driven, not just looked at. |
