I also wish I lived where that could be my everyday work truck year 'round (without ruining it with salt). I've lived in the wrong place and always knew it. I've had every gal I've gotten serious with say, "I'm not moving out there just because of rust". Ironic, I'm sure the women are better out there, too! I'd tell them living here knowing your second biggest investment in life will get eaten up is like living in a beach house you know will get slammed with a hurricane at some point. Yep, have lived in the west a couple times, both times came back expecting to return, but met a gal and stayed. I'm such a sucker!
