I'm not saying that you're a bad driver, but I'm sure you are aware of things of this nature happening.

Michigan puts down salt like they get it for free. Wash it off every month or so and you are good. Ive never had a car rust out in a year. It takes several years to rust out a car unless you chipped the hell out of your paint.

I've only driven my car a couple times with snow, and I have sportlines. It's jsut like driving a lowered car in any other conditions. But you could rename it the cobalt ss/sc/sp. Snow plow lol. The front bumper pick up snow like its supposed to.

well in newfoundland. are winters are harsh and its around 0 degrees alot so we use a ton of salt you will find alot of rust on a car after 1 to 2 winters of driving ... so in MAY when i take my car out of the garage it will run perfect vs if i drove it all winter and the wear and tear of our salted roads in the winter it will probably be in the garage getting **** repaired which sucks
