Re: Daily Driving a Square Suburban

the only reason I don't daily drive a squarebody, or older, here in MD is rust. I'd hate to buy a clean squarebody just to ruin it like all the rest you see all rotted up or long gone. Most who know this drive beaters in the winter. I shudder when I see all these nice, and expensive, vintage vehicles out on nice winter days, only to get tucked back away for weeks at a time with road salt dust laying up in all the crevices mixed with normal road dust. I figure these folks don't know any better. Never held onto a newer vehicle long enough to see the effects and now out buying high dollar restorations. I've considered doing it anyway myself, but with what they cost now it's just foolish, IMO, to ruin that which has survived well prior to my ownership.
