We salt our roads like crazy in my area.
I'm not sure where my friend got his Fiero. I'm assuming it was local. I've only gotten to see the car once so far - at night in the rain.
I'll pass on comments to him though.
On my Metro, there is a known problem with rust in one particular location. It's easy to fix while you have the engine and transmission out, but only if you know about it. Part of the unibody framework rusts from the inside out, so you never see it until it's too late.
It's always great to get "insider" information from other owners of the same model vehicle!
