Driving to work, the road covered in snow and ice, -25C (or -13F brrrr) what do I see?

A black on black s2000 with the chin spoiler, dirty as hell.

I almost cried. I wanted to call some sort of car abuse hotline.

I guess her only saving grace was she had winter tires on a set of alessio aluminium rims.

poor, poor baby

It's a car, dude. Wake up and smell the pavement.

You can't expect every s2000 owner to conform to your rigid little definition of what they should do with their cars.

I happen to think highly of people who drive nice cars that are dirty.

Talking about abuse..how happy do you think your car is being stuck in a dark garage for up to four months a year.....I really respect someone who drives their car in the rain...snow...and everything in between....some people can't afford to have different cars for different seasons....

As an owner of a black car, I can attest that it doesn't take many miles to have one looking like that.

You should see my car, you'd get a heart attack! I believe it's still silver, but it's hard to tell what's under the mud...

I'm looking for a winter car, but until they start spreading sand and salt i'll keep driving (yes, salt! they do that here when it's cold, it's absolute murder on car bodies).

One day I saw a "black/brown" ferrari 348 GTS, there was one strange thing, it was soooo dirty, you know it was browny, covered with earth dust....

Couldn't understand that.... I stated it was probably a stolen ferrari with a careless thief driving it.... who know...
