I accidentally trashed my earlier reply.

Long story short - I don't drive it much, just 4,080 miles since I bought it last June. Wife and I each take it to work maybe once a week when the weather is nice, plus a few road trips in there, so it really isn't visible much, especially in Hartford.

Funny aside: I bought the rims/snows, from forum member ACMonster, on a hot day in June (For CHEAP!) just a few days after I bought the car. When I got them the fronts were the same color as the dark center caps while the rears were brand new tires & rims.

I did a quick rattle can silver paint job on the fronts to get them at least close to the rears, but since I don't actually drive the car much in the winter I don't really care that it looks like crap. I leave the mismatched center caps on because they're hilarious.

The wheels & tires are basically movable jack stands that let me store the car without flatspotting the PS2's, and let me have traction below 40 degrees when I want to sneak out.
