Yep, warm costal areas can be as bad or worse for rusting cars than northern places where it freezes half the year. People freak out over the salt we get on the cars here but the salt does nothing it is the moisture it attracts and holds that is the issue. When cold enough there is no free moisture to trap and hold so much of the winter is not causing harm. It is the spring and fall where it is salty and damp that the serious damage can occur. Just wash it on a regular basis (sounds counter intuitive but it isn't) so the salt isn't there and no real issues should appear.
