shitlord:
luckily the only problem i've had with my car is the rims
its hard to explain but because i live directly next to the ocean the salt in the air has corroded what appears to be a small coating over the rims
giving them a sunburnt skin look, where its chafing off all over the place
they're not cheap plastic stuff like you buy at walmart either they're real wheels so i dont know what to do
Pie Crust:
You should coat it with protective transparent paint bimonthly. If done correctly, it should be alright. I heard that's what some people do in Key West.

or do an acid treatment on your wheels, and then do what he said so you don't seal rust under the new paint

I don't use the auto windows anymore because when they hit the bottom I can hear a THUMP noise. I just decide where I want my windows instead of letting them go by themselves.

I took some younger people in the Clarinet section to a section party in my Camry and they all were shocked, as they had never seen a car with crank windows before
I was speechless, almost every car I had growing up had crank windows
edit: I just realized I haven't posted a pic of my camry's new paint I painted the bottom half black partially for rust concealment, will do tommorow
