What people seem to think their car will look like after 5 years of salt in the winter:







What is will actually look like if maintained (washed on a regular basis):

Yeh... I'm leaning more and more towards clear-coat and lots of washes (I already wash once a week min.)

My new career has a shit load of upside growth potential for me and the odds-on likelihood is that I'll be trading in the Twin for a Cayman before 5 years anyway...

find an old Corolla or something those are pretty cheap and easy to maintain if your winter aren't so crazy that you need a 4WD. If not get an old 4wd Subaru.

Apparently driving your car in the winter changes it from orange to red. Who knew?!
