EurosportZ34 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 you guys haven't seen nuttin till you see how much salt Michigan puts on their roads, OMG we won't go there... it's great to have a winter beater or another car to drive in the winter while your baby is garaged...it's truely the only way to keep it nice.

From what I hear about MI.. we sound about the same. MN has gotten better in the past few years, but you'll be hard pressed to find a mid-90's or earlier car without rust. It is indeed a rare find. I've had the pleasure of owning the garaged cars without rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgrntld187 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Haha screw Michigan. Thank god I have a truck that is so high even the salt cant reach it. I swear, I own the only F-150 that has NO rust on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Thank god for Georgia and no salt..

For a while i never understood the idea of why so many of you have "winter beaters", but it all makes since now. Around here, we drive our car YEAR ROUND! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool I hear sand is just as bad, and its probably more expensive than the salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trep Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I can thank upstate NY for the rust on my car. In fact, I have to get another right fender, because about 6 or so inches at the bottom of the fender next to the door is completely rusted. It's so rusty there, that part of the fender isn't even attached to the car anymore. The doors are fine, but the rocker panels could use some attention. I only noticed this after I had taken the side body molding off the car today. I guess the previous owner was just trying to cover up the rust where the body molding was.

1990lumina Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Saskatchewan uses sand, gravel, salt, the part of potash that is waste... anything they can put down, usually gravel and salt.. Our roads are also just completely white all through winter, gravel smashes the paint, salt rusts... My garage floor in spring is absolutely white lol.. Oh well, when you live here its hard to have a nice car to drive year round!! - Jeff L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
