    I can't take the credit for your hardworking attitude, I feel your car far exceeds mine for condition and appearance

    I've had a red car before and it was a right git to keep it looking red. The mrs car is black and, although its a b*tch to keep clean, seems to get dirty within a few days, and shows up all the swirl marks, at least it holds its colour. Thats the problem with old red cars, if you don't constantly keep polishing and waxing it, it goes pink quickly.
