Oh. I didn't realize this was a legit thread.
Well luckily no one here keeps a car long enough for it to even start to rust

I would think the opposite. Sitting in a heated garage would allow snow /ice build up to melt and dry vs sitting outside where snow / ice build up would stay on the car corroding faster.
But I'm no scientist.
snow and ice don't make things rust.
Water does.
Salt speeds up the process.
Our advice is to skip the heated garage, which can accelerate your car's march towards its grave. Here's why: Heat accelerates oxidation, also known as rust. You drive in the garage with snow and ice on your car, it melts, and the water and salt mix in that nice, warm petri dish and, come morning, there's less of your car there.
.So just about any winter driving can be bad for your car’s metal parts, which is just about the whole thing.
What most of people don’t realize is that parking their car in the garage in winter can make the rusting effects of road salt even worse, and here’s how.
The salt-filled snow and slush that clings to your car is bad, but it’s not that bad if it remains frozen.
When you park your car in the garage, even if it isn’t heated, the slush can melt from the heat of the engine. The water that results from the melted slush increases the rust-causing properties of the salt. That can lead to more rust damage than if the car remained outside.
The dampness in your garage does not quickly evaporate because of winter’s cooler temperatures and the lack of ventilation. That means your car can be wet for longer periods than it is dry. That prolonged wetness gives salt more time to do its dirty work.
Every time you take your car out and bring it back in again, the whole corrosion-causing process repeats itself.
If you park your car in the garage in winter, try to wash it as often as you can to reduce your chances of premature corrosion and body repairs.
