Post your dirty 86
 
Since I've seen another member posting his uh, relatively dirty bumper picture, I thought all brothers from the north should proudly exhibit a small showcase of how beautiful our car look in the middle of winter. Bring out the pitchforks!

Ps: that white crap on the car is salt, not snow.

I'd invest in a cheap winter car instead of driving my FR-S in the salt.

I don't have any dirty days here in Houston. Most the rain and dirt just roll off since I keep it so clean lol
I'm a bit OCD about that kinda stuff.

These are the only pic's of the car i have right now where its dirty. Rim's were just installed in these pics so they are clean but i believe the car hadn't been washed in about 3-4 weeks. Love this color always looks clean until you get right up against it.

^ I believe all fr-s's and brz's are galvanized from the factory, so rust shouldn't be a problem for many years.

On the topic, I need to get a picture of my car on there. It's so filthy, I have salt stains on the roof lol

makes sense now...yeah people that might move to a place that has salty roads due to snow wont have to get the cars rust proof... looks like it wont turn into mater from cars after all
