These are some great photos from Rusty Nail Society, showing the raw and unfiltered side of classic cars being put through their paces at the Rally De Monte Carlo Historique——scarred and super cool. If only more automotive photography showed the real side of cars rather than the overpolished, overwaxed, shiny farce which is known popularly as automotive photography!

I think there is a happy medium between being overly precious, and abusing machinery. This seems to err on the side of abuse, frankly. I feel like events such as the Tour Auto strike the right balance between running the cars hard, and not trashing them.
