You Californians have it too easy!

I made it out to the Los Angeles area a couple times this summer.

I had never seen so many rust-free VW bugs (originals) and CRXs in my life!

They don't get rusty out there, but they sure get dusty. What's with that? Must be all those wildfires!

Seriously though, it's very tough to find any older car around here that doesn't have a fair amount of rust on it.

I have been looking for Metro's all summer, but the high gas prices caused the percieved value of Metros to double or triple this summer.

I figure now is the time to find one, while gas prices are low!
