Well, salt only comes onto the ground when it snows......so.....


I never thought about it, but why not just seal your frame and inner body panels that would be affected? :dunno:

Or big ballers will just get an under carriage sprayer as you enter your heated garage.

Or move to FL and enjoy the bath salts and Flyn. :trump:

salt can get places that you can't protect- gp's and their rocker rust, GM pickup's and their rocker rust, ford super duty's and their door pinchweld rust... etc.

I have a heated garage. I keep it above freezing unless I am out there.

Not freezing garage = Happy Wife = Happy Life and also greater than a PSL

Im not TCG sell cars every 4 years rich, but I don't really worry about rust that much that Im gonna give up heat in my garage.

Reminds me I need to go inspect again :rofl:

I know [MENTION=1983]Outlaw[/MENTION] had the problem on the ole '15 but pretty sure his was garaged, if not heated garaged?

My bitch stay out in the cold and maybe that's slowing the process during the salt months.. Just recently the engine bay smelled like it cooked a whole family of mice though :io:

someone find me a gas heater for my garage (2.5 car), got a gas line, just need the unit. don't need anything fancy and go. prefer something to hang so it doesn't take up floor space

I had a hard time finding used ones under $200. When I did it ended up needing $150 gas valve. If I did it again I would just buy new from menards or farm and fleet.
