I used to live in one of those rust states, upstate NY. Wasn't much you could do to stop the tonage of salt they lay down up there every year. Had an 80 something cutlass, frame rotted out both sides behind tires. Numerous pickup trucks with rotting frames, floor boards that you watch the road go by in, flapping quarters on the bed.......I could go on and on.....snow sucks, salt trucks suck worse
