damn...

washed my car yesterday, and after 11 years and 179,000 miles its showing its age! Well some parts. Since its not really been garaged since I've had it for almost 4 years, stupid sprinklers are making the paint dull especially because I cant wash it every time it hits my car. And its my passenger side too, so my drivers side is nice and shiny, but my passenger side is quite a bit more dull. Its noticeable

One side i'm like damn, this car looks so nice!
#movestotheotherside
damn this car looks so nice! Awww why's the paint not shiny

I'm guessing the car had slicks, or something close to it, gravel threw it off, that course should have been looked through before he ran

Sand/gravel FTL.

This article says it was the ocean. Salt water would make a huge difference in salvagability.

Those seats look cheap as hell.

It reminds me of the interior on a Chrysler.

OK, so which has the most buttoned-down, low-body-roll, nimble-through-the-curves chassis? Seventh generation EX-L V6 MT Accord Coupe, first generation Acura TSX, current generation Mazda 6 i Sport or a fourth generation Subaru Legacy GT? Or just make out a check for a 328i, reliability and winter climate be damned?

(I've driven them all, but not on similar roads)
