Well, today after work I hand-washed the Mark and realized that slowly but surely the car has decided to eat itself from the inside out. Living in the mid-west is horrible on any car. The years of bad winters and roadsalt have taken a toll on it.

Sadly, the car only has 127,xxx miles on the clock but what can I do. It's not worth putting money into body repairs. I've been tossing around the idea of getting rid of the car for awhile now but I don't know if I'll be able to afford to do so or not. I may just have to drive it until the wheels fall off, literally!

A sad realization but a realization at that!

That IS sad. :(

Drives side has rust and bubbling paint on the rocker in front of the rear wheel, the passenger has the same as well as a hole rusted through the rocker behind the front wheel.

Fix it now while you still can....

yeah look at stacks car and KKs car they are fixing rust

Yes, fix it now before it's real bad or let it rot...

Thats a bummer mang. One good thing (only one I can find) about Texas is the cars stay rust free.

I know what will fix it!!! Some chrome wheels im going to bring down to you in a few weeks.

I'm still working on the 96, so I won't be Markless, and those wheels are going on the 96, my other spokes are on it now. Give me a call and let me know when and I'll just meet up with you.

It is almost time for you to pay the family a visit isn't it?

I might however have a switch for sale, when or if I get rid of the 97. It is slightly customized with some extra controls!

now I feel kind of bad for taking swings with a metal rod at my completely rust free parts car car :(

but you will still have a mark????

perfect paint job for a Cadillac :D

Not quite that bad. lol. But I can`t keep it clean at this time of the year.

i have the portafino blue.. and Laser lives on a white rock road.. he got a white car...CHEATER!!!!
Mine is very hard to keep clean lookin, and now theres polen flying around everywhere too

i have the portafino blue..

Was no Portofino blue in 93. Yours looks Nordic, like mine. (color code DF)

Well Laser called it portabella blue... I guess it's Nordic...whatever
no rust on it... So that's a plus... Only some angry woman banged her Honda Odys door into a couple times ( thanks MOM!!)
then my step-dad washed it with an Emory cloth.... Not sure what their goal was with the car

we are heading down memorial weekend. if you arent around i may just drop them off at sams house and you can pick them up whenever. ill give you a call either way.

Well to add insult to injury, today I notice that the clearcoat is wearing thin on the passenger side C-pillar, but that's the only spot that I can see.

You'd probably cry yourself a little river if you had my paint... So... Start parting out your car... I'll take the motor

Yeah Laser is an idiot and told him that was its color. I didnt know as I dont like Gen1's :D
