I pulled up beside an orange mustang last week - it was so cool - top was down, cool looking guy driving it. We sat at a long, red light together. I happened to notice some rust on a fender and a few dings here and there along the side of the car. I actually thought that the imperfections made the car seem even more cool than if it was totally glammed out. Made the car seem real, and like it wasn't just locked away in a sterile garage for the past 40 years. It's been driven, loved, appreciated, maybe beat up a little bit. And it's still a stunning car. But it has developed character. And that character is totally unique to that particular car. Nice analogy.
