It's not so much the physical exterior that bothers me, it's the corrosion that's probably happening in the undercarriage that is what I'd be concerned about.

So do your headlights even illuminate anything at night or is the light blocked by all the grime? When you do wash it, it's gonna feel like taking your sunglasses off.

Wait we got a guy from NH and IL talking about corrosion damage. NH is so far north that it practically bangs Canada in the ass. IL it's practically fucking frozen for most of the year, which is probably why the vast majority of Chicago's murders happen in the summer. So it's your cars we'd all want to stay away from.
