Default IS F - Rust? Winter driven

Question for all F owners who drive theirs in the winter... have you noticed any rusty spots? How rust resistant do you think our Fs are?

I sold off my S2000 which I used as the main winter car so the F will do full winter duties. Mine is an 2010 but for those with 2008s, have you noticed any rusty spots?

Thanks,

No rust all. I make it point to have it washed at least once a week.

Mine hasn't been washed in 2 months and it's totally gross and covered in salt and road grime - but no rust. I also got mine 2 years 11 1/2 month ago so third winter.

Best think to prevent rust is power wash under the car after winter. And clean any dirt and debris that builds up inside wheel wells on that inside lip. That's the biggest culprit on rust.
