last week, it may have been a show-stopper...It does not look like long-term dirt and grime. Heck, mine gets that bad in one day sometimes when we have a windstorm, very common in NV.
I went on a road trip once with my WRX and it looked like that after 1400 miles of rain. The first day I got to my destination, I looked for one of those wash bay pressure wash car washes. A lot of people just wait until they get home.
I drove my black 08 from Fort Worth to Lafayette La in heavy rain all the way!! It looked like that when i got there. Cleaned it up in my sisters garage and it was clean for the trip home! Had a little rain on the trip back but not as bad!! does not take much rain and dirty roads for one to look like that!! They are made to drive! Smile while doing so and watch the people look at you!! Well probably looking at the car and not the old fart driving it!!
I've had mine covered in mud. Driven in snow. Driven over a mountain dirt road into park city. Its a car, it is fun to drive. Dirt comes off easy enough.
Erm, yeah, my car's probably at least that dirty. I used painter's tape for numbers at the track and at an autocross the other day and you can still see where the tape was from the old dirt around it. And my wheels are all caked with brake dust. And I've got a thousand bug corpses plastered to the nose. And it's been raining. And it lives outside.
