Re: [Amc-list] How bad do cars rust in South Dakota?

[Todd Tomason <jayscore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Much of my family is from South Dakota.  Unless they've changed recently, 
South Dakota does not use salt at all, just sand.  They also have a huge 
number of gravel roads.  You will see cars that are kind of beat up on the 
underside from all the gravel, but have almost no rust.
