"Bonsai Group" refers to vehicles with excellent performance and well-executed modifications, but the owners do not use them for racing. Instead, they treat their cars like bonsai trees for others to admire. On the other hand, the "Serious Group" refers to cars with top-notch performance and tasteful modifications, where the owners are eager to compete seriously in races. More related information is as follows: Note: Classic hardcore off-road SUVs include the Toyota LC70 (predecessor of the Land Cruiser and Prado), Land Rover Defender, and Jeep Wrangler. These are considered the "supercars" of the off-road world. Although they are not as expensive as supercars, they are indeed the best in terms of off-road performance within the SUV category. However, their outdated exterior and interior designs often deter many "Bonsai Group" enthusiasts.

What Color is the Vehicle Primer?

Currently, the main colors of automotive primer are black, white, and gray. Below is relevant information: 1. Treatment Method: Generally, gray primer is used on cars. If the primer is exposed, it needs to be repaired. Typically, when the primer is exposed, the extent of damage should be checked. If the primer hasn't been scraped off, a simple touch-up of the paint surface will suffice. If the primer is damaged, immediate maintenance is required. If not addressed promptly, the car surface may rust. 2. Precautions: During vehicle use, minor scratches are inevitable, and some severe scratches may damage the paint or even expose the primer. Leaving exposed primer untreated for a long time can cause the metal layer of the vehicle body to be directly exposed to air, leading to rusting of the car body.
