Re: can salt driving in winter really hurt?
I might know the answer in 5-10 years. My roadster has never seen winter roads. The SRT6 I just picked up appears to have been driven as a dealer car and then by the previous owner, and I have to assume in the winter in Chicago. I'll be thoroughly detailing it as soon as it is warm. Then we'll just wait and see if either have a rust or corrosion problem.
PS - The SRT6 will not see winters anymore either. It only had 8200 miles on it, so hopefully it did not see too many winter roads.
PPS - Yes. Road salt completely ate my 1974 TR6 by 1979. I was going to restore it but did not have money, then had kids, etc.
