The Break Room / Re: Hybrid cars- anyone have one?
« Last post by Grant Lamontagne on Today at 11:41:12 AM »Why do you have so much rust issues? I would think Canada would be similar to Norway in many ways. (Seasons, weather, roads).
Road salt is a major issue, and a large part of why we have massive rust issues here, but also Nova Scotia is extremely narrow. It's about 60kms wide, so you are never far from the ocean, and I like about 150m from the water. The salsmurfer is on the air constantly, and sea spray is also quite prevalent.
Basically, everything is always wet here, and that water contains salt, so the rust never stops
Many auto manufacturers used to torture test vehicles for rust resistance here, but due to the high failure rate they stopped doing that.
Because rust is so bad, you have to get your car checked by a government licensed facility every two years (used to be every year) and if there is any rust perforation in the metal, your car likely won't pass.
There's a good chance my Jeep won't pass next year without getting some body work done first.
