My convertible and my TA were always kept in a climate controlled garage. I bought them from the original owners and I saw the way they were kept. 'Rust' and 'Lucky' should never be used in the same sentence. They have nothing in common. It takes common sense to keep a car rust free, not luck. I have an excellent example; My 89 GMC pick up has taken me back and forth to work at GM since I bought it new. There is not a bit of rust on it anywhere. It has a lot of miles and those are 'year round' miles. How do you explain how it has been kept rust free? I know, I'm really lucky.
