like junk. lol. Oh how lucky we are in the south.

 

I worked on some of that stuff many, many years ago. Decided I didn't want to live my life that way so moved to Cal. Thank God for rust free Cal., at least where I live.

 

Sadly it is ultimately a losing battle here.

If you drive your vehicle year round it will succumb to rust eventually.

 

That is just one of the reasons why my 2008 Harley Davidson F-150 stays parked during the winter months! Yes, Its a 4x4 that stays parked during the winter. LOL Im gonna put snow tires on the Crown Vic for this comming winter for sure!

 

You overreacted! Should have stopped in Texas!

 

Its an massive over reaction. People who care about there vehicles are immaculate. Plenty of very clean vehicles up here. Usually those pics are of never washed or waxed vehicles.

It's like people on forums who make it look like there truck is so cool and people pee themselves, but in reality they don't even know how what wax is and it looks Luke crap in person.

 

if you maintain it, it will last. Biggest issues are exhaust manifolds/hardware, not fun after 5-10 winters.

 

glad to hear it. it will literally last forever.

 

 

That rust free southern truck looks great right up until a hurricane or tornado blows it up north....

 

Thank god nothing like that ever happens to a Chevy. This was captured in upstate New York:

 

Proud Chebby owner!!! Only 24 more payments before I can get the pink slip and then I can run it to the junk yard!

 

Blue, I've got friends a couple of places in Tex. and the weather is TOOOO much for me! I live 4 mi. from the ocean and though I've been quite a few places in the world and a lot of the U.S., we still enjoy some of the finest weather on a 365 day basis of any place I've ever been! Other things have changed that make it not as pleasant as when we moved here oh so many years ago, but what I call "the million dollar ocean breeze" makes up for it all.
