Same here, exactly. I have a ton done to my car and people tend to notice that not my flaws, which is nice, but I still know I have plenty of flaws.

Yes, I think `Mitch was 2 hard on his grade/rating..., but the owner knows all the hidden flaws that are not seen by the majority 4-Sure..
========================================
`Ted, if you post a pic of your dirty Monte, you will have to clean `up the mess when member's see it. I'm tired of being the janitor on this forum
On`no it's so dirty.. Why ~>Oh "Y"
Maybe it would be a good pic 4 those on a diet...Everytime they want something to eat, they could just look @ pictures of your neglected AweSome Monte
Maybe a b-4 & after pic (one dirty & one detailed : )
..I've been play'in 2 much 2day on the MCF...
Must ReCharge..

Mines also daily driven, with 74,000 miles, but aside from maybe two little chips on passenger front fender, and the fact the hood is starting to craze, she looks wonderful!! I'm very fastidious about cleaning the interior and it's always near spotless inside, if not out. although Pennsylvania (should say PennsylRAINya) isn't cooperation right now in that aspect...grrrr!!! We took it to get groceries when my in-laws were up awhile ago, when I lifted up the trunk, my father-in-law, who is VERY non-emotional, commented with a hearty "That trunks as clean as a whistle, Michael!!" High aclaim that was!!;-) Lots of very sweet Montes here, I would like to add, there does seem to be something a little different about use all that own one, isn't there?!

Many have mistaken my car for being brand new or a year old (non car people) but it is almost 12 years old and coming up on 100K miles....so while it looks great in pics it does have some rock chips, only 1 lil dent on the front fender and some scratches....It is garage kept and not used everyday but it shows some wear..

When I first got it I was crazy about rock chips and light scratches....now I don't mind them so much it shows that the car isn't a trailer/garage queen and has been used...been all over the state of New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania/Delaware/Michigan/And Maryland...so he's seen sites...lol...
