Default Re: Virgin, of sorts.

Mine gets driven daily. In all weather conditions, in all temps.

My house, which is a much larger financial investment that doesn't depreciate, is exposed to all elements and I don't even think twice about it. Why should I freak out more over a car, that was tested in all conditions? I recall factory photos from Karmann-Wilhelm that show icecicles on the front bumper, and another shot where the car is in a venerable oven. Tennessee weather is almost as extreme, and six years later, my car still looks brand new. In fact, the only visible blems on my car are from Camry doors in a parking lot, nothing a garage can save you from. Oh, and the occasional rock chip on the front of the hood from my high-speed indulgences.

It has wipers, all-season tires, and waterproof electronic systems under the hood. I use them all, and smile the whole time.
