No rust, not even paint chipping. 5K miles.

hmm..

I recently got a chance to look underneath my car when I had it on a lift to do my short shift kit install..

I didn't see any rust thankfully.

I'm in the swampy southern humid part of Georgia as well. I only have about 2k miles on it though.

I guess I'll have to check once every month or so just in case.

Your profile says "SoCal". Are you close to Savannah?

I'm from Socal but I'm stationed at Fort Stewart, GA at the moment. Savannah is like a 45 min drive for me. Very close

When you talked about the terrain of south Georgia I knew you had to be close. I'm from Charleston, marshview isn't much different

Humidity is a killer

Some days, if not all, I feel like I'm showering in sweat when I step out my door.

......... and I was born and raised here. If you're not from this part of the country and used to it, it can be killer. 95 degrees here with the humidity is way more uncomfortable than 100 degrees in the dry southwest, as you stated. But.......... right about now (October), through April, the weather is so good it does make up for that summer heat

I lived in AZ for a year. (Fort Huachuca / Sierra Vista) I also have a few buddies who live in Gilbert.

I would take the 100 degree dry heat weather over three any day over the hod humid muggy weather of Georgia
