I drive a Miata.

My car wears its battle scars with pride.

But fuck water spots. I hate breaking out the industrial vinegar for that crap.

Battle scars! I like it. If you do truck things, you’re gonna get truck dings.

I don’t have much of a problem with water spots. There’s one of those membership car wash contraptions near me. I opted for the ceramic coat service. Gossamer (my truck) looks amazing after going through there.
