Mark,
You must have been thinking about rust. I only discussed that my cars
have no rust, because we don't have any snow, so they don't salt the
roads.
For those that deal with salt, as I did in Chicago, my Porsche 911s was
on blocks in the garage until winter had past. Bought a '65 Corvair to
get around in. However, for those that drive on salted roads pay the
price. I've even had the Porsche "Z-Barted". I wanted to keep the
inner door, etc. free from rust. They don't even sell that stuff here.
The Tiger is rust free.
