    **Frustrating thing is, this car was never a DD.
    It has never been rained on or parked outdoors.
    It lives in a climate controlled slot, in it's carcover.....
    The(chalk) builders marks on the frame, are as clear as the day they were made....the paper labels on the axle and driveshafts are still very legible.
    This never should have happened
    oh well

    Ya can't keep perfect perfect forever. Good thing is though, once perfect is out the window, you can really start enjoying stuff! Go drive through a puddle.
