I grew up in the road salt regions of the USA and now live in a year-round warm climate by the ocean. There is no comparison: road salt eats cars and the ocean has nearly no effect. Classic cars are everywhere out here because of it. We have it easy in Southern Cali (until "the big one" hits, knock on wood).

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
