Besides not being usual to pour salt on the roads here, nowadays people are taking better care even of such utilitarian vehicles, even though they used to be more neglected until recently. On a sidenote, today while walking the dog I saw a square-body VW Saveiro being carried on a platform-truck, and its floor at the pick-up box was so rusty it looked like puff pastry (but I guess that was one I used to see in my mother's neighborhood, and I knew it had been possibly the most neglected one I've ever seen)...
