What? and British cars don't have a rust problem? How many posts have we
seen like "it's just minor rust, I'll replace the floor pans and rockers".
That's not minor rust in my book, but people fix it all the time.

This part I have to agree with, these items will make it more difficult and
expensive to keep any modern car running for 30 or 40 years. I used to own
an Scorpio and I was having a lot of problems with a 10 year old car. It was
fixable and the basic car ran ok, but I was always fixing a warning light,
sensor of some sort.
