Just playing Devil's Advocate here, for arguments sake, how is the
method in which an owner chooses to display/cosmeticly restore their
cars, and different than say, the SUV debate we just had about an
individual's right to _expression_?
My facias are sundamaged, and oxidized quite badly. But I love the way
the patina looks on them, and refuse to paint them. After all, it
shows a true comparison of how well the stainless steel holds up to
the elements. Most of all, I dig the way that the patina looks.
Torn seats I can agree with. But not all cars look good with that
fresh showroom appearance. Nor do they feel good. Me? I like the scars
that my car carries. It shows where she's been, and proves she's able
to stand the test of time.
