Garage
The original owner was a Wal Mart shopper and parked at the front door. It was COVERED in door dings, major door dings. So in 2003 I had it painted with the OEM, single stage paint at a body shop that specialized in Porsches. It was the only American car he had ever painted and he said never again.

It has a very nice paint job and the guy I paid to ceramic coat it, was amazed at the paint quality.



Now all the miles and years later it does'n not have one single door ding. I get a lot of exercise by parking at the far end of the lots and walking. It certainly does have some "patina" now with a few rock chips, but any car with 374,000 miles will have some chips.

It is not a show car, just a well maintained daily driver. My next project it to replace the carpet. I can get the right carpet package for under $500. The current carpet has some bad fading and worn spots.
