Salt is not an issue. I've found that the spray-on truck bed liner from Canadian Tire makes for an awesome DIY undercoating. No visible rust what-so-ever on the chassis after 14 years.

Wintertime = fulltime work & fulltime University. Car is tucked away, and conveniently for sale to fund a C5 Z06.

Oh, yes it is. Salt spray is getting in where you can't see it. Until it bubbles out to where you can see it.

Live in Port Credit Ontario (Missisauga on the lake), work in Kitchener.

P.S winter sucks.. I store the car up at my parents (Shelburne On) and I went up last weekend, put some fuel stabalizer in it, and idled it for 10-15 min to get it nice and warm..sounds so mean, (compared to my Civic Daily Driver haha).

I wanna see how good she hooks with the new meats...at least we all can say the cars coming out THIS year now

I'm in the Kitchener/Waterloo area and my 1999 Firehawk is sitting in the garage until the nice weather returns.

How many are on the west coast?

I get throught the winter by daily driving my light rwd Nissan on summer tires through rain, sleet, snow, whatever mother nature wants to throw at it, not to mention moving couchs strapped to the roof etc.

Cold winter nights wrenching in the garage suck, but that certain sound that I keeping daydreaming about is what is motivating me to keeping wrenchin.
