The PNW is distinctly dry during the summer, which would compose at least half of the months you have owned it.
Also, in my experience, it’s road salt/ice melt chemicals that really exacerbate rust rather than just rain. I assume that is why I see a lot more old cars everyday in PNW compared to the northeast.
- acomjean 2y agoSalt was bad for cars. (Having had a 80s car that was rusting badly). There was a hole in one of my rear wheel wells. Salt/ sand got into the hollow steel and rusted from the inside out at the base of the passenger door. It was was bad all over however. Cars are galvanized now so they don’t rust. Is that truck running bare stainless with no finish? Are you going to stick to it during the winter?
- qwerpy 2y agoYeah my truck has been running bare this whole time and I don’t plan to change that. I’ve parked it near a house by the ocean for days on end so it probably got some salty condensation on it.
