My DD Ram 1500 is black..(and it takes a beating)...but when washed it don't look bad..just don't get too close
I went for a walk one night, came back thru the garage with the flashlight & pointed it at the car. BIG mistake & now I can't unsee it - I am my own worst enemy !! Someone just shoot me please :LOL:

It's one of those things - you see it when others don't. A very minor ding or scratch? Yep, you see it when no one else does... that slight difference in shades of metallic blue because it's been touched up, yep, it jumps out at you, even 25 years later...

I leave my wife's black C8 uncovered in our carpeted heated attached garage...from 10 ft away it's pristine...the other day I opened the garage door..(first time since fall..)..man did it get dusty...wash it once a year in spring..(very little soap)..then spray detail it...takes a while..but nothin like it when it's done

Last brand new vehicle I bought was my 2024 Sierra 3500 AT4 to be used as a tow pig, daily, etc.

Last vehicle I bought was a 2021 Audi SQ5 back in January to use as a daily when I figured out my Sierra wouldn't fit anywhere downtown, especially after adding a 3.5-inch lift and 37-inch tires lol. I promised myself the Audi would stay stock, but since I'm a degenerate it's now tuned with charge pipes, intercooler, turbo inlet, intake, etc etc.

My latest new car was the '23 Challenger GT AWD, after that I got a '19 Durango GT AWD.

The most recent arrival is my girlfriend's Crew Cat. It was a bit tricky to find a new '23 Charger a few months ago, in Granite.
Crew cat, really:rolleyes:
