Is that amount of rust unusual? Or does every car look like that after ten
winters in the snowy wastelands that are eastern and central Canada and US?
Seriously, I'm curious and have no clue. I've lived in Los Angeles nearly
all my life and the only actual rust damage on my SoCal Vanagon is the tip
of the exhaust J pipe is eaten away at the bottom. I've heard the stories
about road salt, but I had no idea...
