Re: Washington salt alert! Your rocker panels may be next!

What a crock this is.  There are a lot of old cars that have survived
quite nicely in the PNW thanks to our mild climate & no use of salt on
the roads.  If you thought your Alfa rusted fast with a bit of moisture
in the air, look out!  I will avoid those areas mentioned like the
plague this winter.  If I need to travel east for some reason, I'll take
the scenic route on Hwy.2.



Alfa content:  How are 164s holding up in salt rich environments?  They
are pretty much fully galvanized, & I'm sure with washing it frequently
in the winter they would not decay too quickly.  Although, any amount of
decay is a major bummer.
