Normal amount of rust for a 13?

Sort of like when we see panicked posts of "I didn't drive for 2 days and now my rotors are all rusty what should I do"

That thing is destroyed! Buy my florida car instead!


JK OP, that's nothing to worry about. Surface rust is far less of a concern than any body rust and unless someone just let one sit in salt water for a year or two I can't imagine there are any rusted out BRZ/FRS yet.

You should see the rust on my 13, it's been through 3 winters -__-. I have some rust in the wheel well area and under the fender guards where you would install mudflaps.

Speaking of this, I watched a documentary that showcased two guys who were in love with their cars... as in sexually. Its on youtube, can't remember the name of it though. Looked dated.

We just had to replace all the stainless panels in the washroom at work since several were eaten right though from piss. Apparently our guys have accuracy issues.

Just the microscopic splashes from the urinals will eventually build up enough that the uric acid just eats through.

That's the real problem: caustic substances like all the shit all over the road, acid rain, piss, etc.

We're talking about Canadians here so it's a combination of beer and stance.

OP brings up a topic we'll be hearing about soon, flood cars from Texas showing up at pot lots and curbstoners.

Side story--Years ago, my sister moved to Las Vegas from Cleveland, and took her 1999 Ford Escort cross country. I've heard some had reliability problems, but I had one as well and they were tanks. She and my parents had the car checked over and repaired stem to stern, and it was in as good a shape as possible when she left.

She made it there fine, fast forward a couple months when she took her car in for an oil change and scheduled maintenance, and received a frantic phone call an hour later that the mechanics were convinced the car was totaled due to being "rusted out." They actually refused to work on it for fear of breaking it! These geniuses had never seen what a few northern winters will do to a car, and had to actually talk to a mechanic back here to convince them that the car was safe to work on and roadworthy. We all got a good laugh out of that one.

Haha yep. Originally from Cincinnati, live in Houston now. I worked at a Carmax down here and every once in awhile we'd get a transfer in from somewhere up north and customers would take one look underneath and almost run away. I'd try to explain that before I moved here I'd never seen a car more than a couple years old that didn't look like that but they seldom believed me.

It will probably take decades for that to rust through, maybe the hangers if you live in road salt state. I have a '91 Mercury that still has the original exhaust.
Don't sweat it man.
