So, I own a car now.

Ahhh, the sun once again is my nemesis! *shakes a fist at it*

I'm going to bet its the sun and not a bad job anyway, it gets really intense in the summer here, and the car has spent very little time protected from it.

I think that seems most likely too-- since the flaking is occurring mostly on the roof and on the hood, which would be the parts most exposed to the sun. It's probably not that expensive to fix if you're worried about it. If you got a cover for when the car's in the driveway you could also prevent further damage.

I think it'd be interesting if you shared your cars rehabilitation, I don't understand most car talk, but lack of understanding has never stopped me from reading about things.

Sure. In truth I don't understand a lot of car talk either, but thankfully a lot of this stuff isn't too difficult to look up and like I mentioned, I can usually ask my dad about it when he's in town.

Congratulations! Beatrix is one classy lady.
