Your right aluminum does corrode would be interesting to hear from another owner who lives up here in the salt zone to see how their insights have held up from a corrosion standpoint.

I did read about one insight that spend a few years in long island and the owner said it had much more corrosion/pitting.

I thing about aluminum is it corrodes much slower than steel/iron usually.

IMO auto makers should manufacture vehicles impervious to rust from the git go. To do that you would have to eliminate lots of creature / safety comforts to keep cost down.
