When I first started on the "World" I noticed people had little brown squares under their log in names. Didn't have a clue what that was about but over the years I've figured it out. At first I thought it had to do with the number of posts they had tallied up. After a while I figured out the true meaning. How many rust repairs they have taken on! I figure each square must equal a square foot of rust. My two squares would be spot on. Carry on.

This is more accurate I think. Or, oil stains on the garage floor?

Mine match the stains in my pants after dropping screws, washers, or other small items down the crevices in the engine compartment.

Hahaha! I was replacing the heater core on my 996 last weekend and I found my original battery hold down bolt that I lost somewhere in those inter dimensional black spaces 9yrs ago

Two squares sounds about right for Arizona cars. Somehow they rust without water.
We need flaming squares for how many sun baked pieces have crumbled to dust in the southwest.
