I appreciate the good words and prayers.

Regarding driving at night: I like driving in the sun more than at night because I love the scenery. Drives up the coast or down a country road just aren't the same at night. :(

Thanks all. I appreciate the prayers. I saw the doctor, told I have Vitiligo, told to stay out of the sun and was given topical steroids for the discoloration. The doctor said if I drive with the top down to wear a hat and sunscreen, but that it is best to stay out of the sun. I'm not a hat wearer but apparently I am now. I think I'll go for this:

That fits all Fiat drivers well. I got one for Christmas from my dad but just can't bring myself to wear it yet. I like my ball caps. My wife does wear one. Hang in there. We are with you.

I'm not sure if it will fit into our schedule, but we'd like to. If we end up making it to the show, I'll let you know so we can meet for lunch.

Thanks all. They started me on a topical medication that should minimize the pigment loss. In the meantime, I bought a hat to shade my forehead (the most affected part). I thank you all for your prayers as I know God can heal if it is His will.

If nothing else, the hat allows me to continue driving with the top down for now....without my new rims in boxes of course.
