Re: avoiding rust
Oh, thats like going through the redlight district and not looking.
Dont drive in the wintertime maybe?
I live in pdx- portland oregon, and we hardly get snow or ice, only a few times a year, and even then they throw gravel down instead of salt. My buddy is from michigan and brought his accord out here. When I showed him how to change his oil, I was shocked by the amount of rust on his car- especialy it being an 04 and mine an 01. **** happens though.

Re: avoiding rust
Heres a cheap and easy way to prevent this. WASH YOUR CAR! Ha... After a snow, etc... Simply wash the car, especially the undercarriage. Hope that this helps!
