We moved to the next town over four winters ago. We still do all our shopping in the original place because that's where all the stores are and where I work.

Our ten year old car went from having no rust to having completely rusted out rocker panels in two winters.

Granted, they seemed to rust from the inside out, but over the course of the winter you can watch in real time as the rust spreads and dissolves more of the car.

I appreciate that the road is always clear and passable. That's great.

I wouldn't mind the rust so much except body shops won't touch the stuff. They only want to deal with fender benders and whatnot on new vehicles with fat insurance payouts.

Not much appetite for patching cars up and keeping them on the road.
