After posting earlier.

I think this it is really Practical, versus the shiny Vanity we normally do.

I keep both my cars, and the wifes shined YES.

But in most things I am practical, not vainity.

Years ago I had an old Pinto (No comments, it really was a great car) , picked up for a couple of hundred from a body shop where the owner of the car decided not to pay for repairs. they had put it all back together but never painted it.
Put a couple of hundred more (Tires, Shocks and a muffler) into it, and sprayed it on my driveway FLAT BLACK RUSTOLEM.
4 or 5 years later sold it for 500 bucks, it was still a strong and good runner. Even saw it again SEVERAL years later, running fine.

The wheels ??
and on on Audi ??? maybe on a semi junker, ie good driver but ?? car.
