I live on the beach, still no rust. Its just time and wear on vehicles and preventive maintenance

agreed, also how much salt they throw on the roads.....

if i was done under my hood i would have entered a engine pic

where do you see a driveway or a garage?

yup i know its got some. its cleaned up now, an the TB is orange with a polished spacer. ill try to snap a pic tomorrow.

also, do you guys daily your balts in the winter? my car does have 167K miles on it. i drive it everyday no matter the weather

actually i do...... and yes we get snow and winter...... at 155 000 km myself

^ i know you get snow haha

BTW if you sprayed that VC black it would look tits! im sure thats the plan anyway

thx, and yes that is the plan...... i also have a custom 3D car show sign that would go where the heat blanket would go under the hood.... i would like to also have a polished motor mount and various other performance parts that you would see....

are LSJ and LE5 5 speed motor mounts the same?

not sure..... sorry cant answer that for you......

i was asking cause think i have a spare kicking around if you were looking for one to polish

LOL! I lived in Calgary...if you can clear your driveway with a broom during the winter, that doesn't mean you get snow :lol: :lol:
All seriousness though, if you take care of your car, rustproof and keep it clean, you shouldn't be getting rust. I have 120k km on my 'balt, and Montreal is notorious for snow and salty roads and still yet to rust in my bay or panels.

i very well might be interested, and if you need any stock lsj parts let me know.... i have a few....

wow are you ever mis informed about calgary..... yes we get chinooks but when it snows it snows and there is no broom involved.... lol i bet we have more snow then you right now lol.... :r:

The first comment wasn't directed towards you...

-_-

I've lived there for a couple years though and I've never had to use a snowblower, and they wouldn't use salt to melt the ice on the roads...they stuck to gravel rocks (which is why everybody there has a cracked windshield) and the occasional sand. Sure Montreal's snowfall isn't as bad as when I lived in Winnipeg...but still.

gotcha, my bad

well if you look at the pic, the only rust is from aftermarket parts. Monroe Strut mounts and the K&N Intake bracket.

remember guys submissions need to be work/family safe. So just cars...

Opinions ? bare in mind i'm working with a point and shoot.

I was trying to go light on the editing i feel i already did too much from the original, so i cant tell if you are joking or mocking.

no i was being serious, i think simply editing like i did in about 30 seconds can make a photo look alot better.

both look too fake and played with imo.

I'll puts with it more. I just don't want it to come out to unrealistic.

its a calendar, you dont want dull, dark and boring photos. but thats my opinion.

the picture itself is pretty flat and centerset though :lol:
