It depends on the cars too though. My 3000gt is rust free and it's 19 years old.

The snow is not the problem, it's the salt. If the undercarriage is washed regularly through the winter there will be no rust. I live in NY so we don't get slammed like the Midwest. I can't keep my car in the garage all winter, I miss driving it too much. But if I bring it out when it snows and salt on the road I wash the **** out of the undercarriage. I love snow pics and doing donuts, in an empty parking lot of coarse.

Snow is basically just rain that turns into snowflakes. The salt is used by the city to keep the snow and ice from freezing to the roads. I guess you never travelled north in the winter.

Looks like you're getting your wish. The last time the Boston area got any significant snow was in October. It's still cold as all hell, though. It's like 9 degrees here with some wind. COLD AS ****!!

Probably cause it's a vr4 and I'm thinking it's his toy. If I had one, I wouldn't drive it on salted roads either. They're extremely rare cars to come by.
