Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I owned a Tornado Red Corrado G60 that had turned several shades of Tornado Pink as old VW's do. I remember one cleaning session buffing the panels for hours and it was gleaming. The panels were hot to the touch and my dad had gone a bit over the top and buffed through the paint on the swage lines. It looked great for the afternoon and had started to fade again by the next morning.
