I'm glad I live in sunny California!

My MKV GTI wasn't quite tight either. I got tons of road dirt down in the spare tire well.

Hmm. I've been buying Japanese cars for thirty years.

I must have missed the memo on this.

Mind you it wasn't always the truth, some people just felt the need to buy American and only support American companies while slandering others. But if you really don't remember....

yea, during the 70s and likely the early 80s imported cars from japan werent exactly rust proof. And on top of a lack of rust proofing, the metal was thin in key areas. Try to restore an abused old toyota or datsun from the 70s or 80s and you will see the rust without even searching for it.

Im banking on this car having some good sealant already bonded to the metal. If not I guess Ill have to sell it once the warranty is up. .__________.

I think I am going to put the car on a lift at lunch tomorrow and look as well. Especially before this mess of snow that is expected Thursday. Luckily Nebraska does not use a salt based road treatment...but still I need to see if this is the case with my car. May I ask what your Vin is?

CallmeDave · 02-18-2013, 10:42 PM

Thank you sir for the nightmares. I hate rust.

How old are you? Were you around in the 1960s? The 1970s? How about the 1980s? Remember them?

Just wondering.

Hi Blane. I remember your mkvvvvv.

You obviously never have lived in the rust belt, earlier Japanese cars rusted like crazy there, A buddy of mines (bought new) Totota p/u had total rust threw in 3 years, like dime size holes. They have gotten better but the old Jap cars,.... you could almost watch them rust.
