I've never had a vehicle re-painted....even though I've had a couple 10+ years. I decided to wax my 7 year old truck the other day for the first time since I bought it. It's a metallic grey with a clear coat. After carefully washing it (that took about 45 minutes), drying it off with a chamois that took another half hour and then the wax on - wax off by hand for well over an hour it makes you realize that a F-250 is a large truck. After it was done it really didn't look any different or better than before I started. I think the paint and clear coat used on vehicles now-a-days (even in 2008) are far superior than the paint of past years. I like Ford trucks. This one should last me for a while longer. I've had it since 2008 and it just turned 32K miles. Wow! You drive less than I do. 28 month old Toyota Highlander has 22000km. My 2009 RAV 4 had 44000km when I traded it at 4 years. 25% of those miles were attempts at backing your rotting aluminum boat into the driveway. Deduct that and you certainly spend a lot of time doing...nothing. Must be Halifax waters. I saw some Legends, older ones, on my last trip to BC. Still going. Not a great looking boat, but is a boat. Recreational boaters, according to Don, are allowed to dump raw sewage into the harbor. Maybe that's causing the rapid deterioration of his boat. Troll. No, that is a true statement. |
