Ain't no mechanic, but I think this R might be eating a little oil ...

Ran upon this in my travels the other day. I've noticed black dust & speckles on my R's before, but never seen one covered like this! Wonder if it just built up over time and hasn't been washed in a while, or if it really is just burning an absurd amount of oil. I apologize in advance if the owner is a member in this forum- not trying to call you out. I just rarely happen upon another R in the wild, so I thought I'd share.

Damn that is sad. Course the person might be in a tough spot and can't afford to fix heR, and just trying to make ends meet.

Damn, it takes a serious level of dedication to get that kind of build up on your rear bumper. Lol
