I took a huge stone hit to my fender 2 weeks after I got the car and decided as an experiment to leave it bare. After two years and two very salty Ontario winters it is just now starting to develop a slight coating of surface rust. These are not 1980s Dodge Omnis that rusted out in a year if you passed through a sprinkler and one spot on a cheap sub, sub, sub component is not an indication of "things to come". Come back and show us when your rocker panel or wheel well edges start bubbling and maybe you will get some sympathy.

Thread has been done for days. I posted to see if this was a common problem other people were having, it's not. |

My last post before @DAEMANO posted "Totaled" was 8/22... Sure, I responded to his "Totaled" post because I thought it was a pretty **** move in what had been a very serious thread up till then. Honestly, I can take the car for what it is. I like my car. My post wasn't "OMG CAR RUSTING SELL NOW BURN TO GROUND!" I thought the whole thread was pretty reasonable, a picture and asking if anyone else had the issue. Everyone had nice, constructive responses until you guys came on board like the 86 mafia or something. "Someone said something bad about the 86 guys, get your pitchforks and torches, we gonna be internet hangin' some chump today." |

But we didn't. I don't see anything but some lighthearted ribbing. I'm the first guy to move on when a thread gets mean spirited. I hate that stuff.
This is going to get worse for you because you're twisting on the hook.

I don't like being talked down to because I find bubbling paint to be a concern on a 3-year old car. Structural or not. I find the answer of "just deal with it" to be pretty shitty. @Ultramaroon you're one of the only people that actually offered a real solution. Thank you for that. I just have no patience on this forum anymore for 86 white knights that take every problem with the car and say "don't worry about it". My hope in the original post was that other people had this problem and someone could give some advice on fixing it, like sanding and repainting. Several people did. Those people make this community better. "Cars rust, deal with it homie." Is not constructive. |

The response to many of those little problems is indeed "don't worry about it". Many a person has had their mind set to ease about something by the responses here. Your original post did not ask what you could do and your last one just complains that it is unacceptable with the indication you feel time will tell how bad the whole car will rust. My statement did not say "deal with it" anyplace. Cars do rust. Always have. Always will. You still seem to maintain that the rust on a little strip is indicative that the whole car is doomed. I simply stated that is not true. Did you really need to have somebody tell you to sand and repaint it? You come on like a freight train at a simple "totaled" joke and then cry foul when you get responses to your sarcasm?
