I have seen painted steel trailers here literally disappear/crumble to bits in the matter of a few years.
It’s almost 65 years old. I’m a mechanic and see lots of cars everyday and you can tell the people who don’t wash them and get the salt off. There’s tons of mid 2000 cars very rotted around here. Cab corners and rockers missing off 20xx trucks.
