Nice bit of rough

I like (almost) everything to be well worn. Anything that's too well looked after feels a little too clinical for me. Leather should have some patina; guitars should be road-worn; jeans should be beat-up; things should show their history with pride. The same goes for cars. While there's a definitely a place for Concours, I'll have the one that's seen a lot of tarmac time. No rat-rod rust- I don't want tetanus from the bloody thing- just don't buff it to hell and gone. It's creepy when all you do is wax-on, wax-off....stop being such a nerd and drive the fucking thing.
