I have to drive and the roads are coverd in salt; what I am supposed to do? Miss class to keep the car clean? Having a beater is nice but not everyone can do that. Besides rust only gets bad if you let it. If you keep the underside of the car clean and every summer clean up the little rust spots that are starting you will not have a problem.

Besides a 76 would be almost 30 years old, the fact that the car is still on the road says something.
