Your right, the car is not gonna rust away. Thats not why I dont like drive my car during the winter. But you got to think of everything else that the salt is getting to. Interior, Rubber around the car, Wheels, Plastics. Its also hard to rinse your car down if its been below freezing for several days. Its not gonna wreck your car but, the car that has never been subjected to winter driving is going to be in better shape below the car and on the body of the car. Thats just me. I know it sounds weird but my Altima that I owned for 3 years also never saw snow and she did not have a spec of rust under her.
