Anybody else's car rusting yet?
I noticed a few other parts, but I could only take a picture of these two parts because it was nighttime and my phone's camera isn't that good. Is this normal?

Mine, here in the dry southwest, were the same on the hangers. I didn't notice it anywhere else.

If you don't like it clean/scuff off the rust and paint it. Not is the time.

Completely normal. OEM exhausts aren't really rust proof. They will come in on the trucks rusty sometimes. The more you look at your undercarriage, the more you will notice.

Our cars are exposed to the sea air during their boat ride across the ocean and I would think of things like that as normal.

I agree, oxidation is normal. We just have to keep an eye on it.
For reference I saw some of this when doing some mods...  20121028-WhitelineRearCrossmemberBushingsDIY-20 by VictorN07, on Flickr  20121012-WhitelinePerrinBushing_Headerback-2 by VictorN07, on Flickr

I broke off part of that stud too though much less so I could still use it even after a lot of PB Blaster.
