I think 95% of what guys call "patina" is just decades of neglect, rust & rot. REAL patina is a decades-old car/truck that has been washed, waxed and polished til maybe it's gone through to the primer and maybe even bare metal in places but you can tell the car's been cared for.

Amen to this! When I was a kid, they called that rust and it made a car worth less money. Now, they call it Patina and it apparently makes a car worth more money. I don't understand it, but to me your definition is spot on. This craze over rust and just calling it patina is absurd to me.
