Must be the combined effect of road salt and sea salt on the mind.

Here in the west, virtually all the cars are rust free. I bought my TD with 120k miles for $3200. For the price of an airline ticket to Denver or Phoenix, you can pick up rust free MB's for much lower prices.

I wouldn't speak ill of a boat unless it was a Coleman canoe or a MacGregor sailboat.
