street parking, beach

[jedovaty]

Hey,



Looking at getting another car (used car, slowly acheiving collectible status), trouble is - my new place will be outdoor, street parking, no more garage :( It`s only a few blocks away from a beach in southern california. How prone will it be to rust? Concerned, as it will be my daily driver, but, perhaps in the future, it may be a collectible, too.

Hey man, you live there, are there a lot of rusty cars? I don`t know how that CA beach weather compares to the tropics (FL, LA), where there are rusty cars galore. Perhaps it`s dry enuf in CA so this isn`t a problem.

I have seen several cars that "lived" near the beach in NJ that showed paint wear from the sand (eg. wind sanding).
