Thats a good thing about living in the southeast - rust is not often (if ever) an issue. When a car originally from here has rust- it is normally not from salts on the road in winter, but rather from the typical high humidity/moisture that normally plagues the southeast year round'.

We get a lot of tourists through here, as a couple of busy freeways pass through and around our city, so I see cars from all over. I see cars from northern Ohio, Michigan, New York, etc- with rust all over. One I often take notice of (since I owned one) are the 90-93 Accords. The typical rust spots are toward the back of the wheelwells and toward the lower front of them as well. A lot I see here from up north are rusty. Ones normally from here have no issues. My old Accord was originally from southern North Carolina before it came here to eastern Tennessee, so naturally, it was rust free - as it had always been a southern car. I sold it to a couple in Rock Hill, South Carolina, so it got to stay in the south.
