That lines up with what I’ve seen—Class 4s aren’t magic, but they’re a step up. I’m curious, did your inspector mention if the scuffing could shorten ...

Red cars do seem to lose their punch quicker than other colors. I had a cherry red pickup years back, and no matter what I did—garage kept, regular wa...
