Will today's cars spontaneously rust away like the 914? Let's assume environmentally friendly conditions & no aftermarket rust inhibitors. I suppose an undercoating is acceptable.

Not in N Texas!
I see northern cars all the time. I can tell if it's been located within 5 miles of the ocean or has EVER been driven on roads that are salted. Some, I refuse to work on... Some areas trash a car (even a new one) in 5 years. Arizona, New Mexico, California (away from the ocean) are all the APEX states to find clean cars in. Anything from Houston (here in Texas!) I don't trust at ALL! They have had way too many saltwater floods. It's not the water that jacks shit up, it's the salt! |
