While what you are saying is all true. Cars are manufactured a bit differently then they were years ago when that danger list came out. Back in the 60's, 70's and 80's your car would rust out if you passed by someone using a clogged up salt shaker. Today, not so much. I currently own a 2005 Cadillac that spent the first 6 years of it's life in Vermont where the use of salt is abundant. There were times that my car would go for months without being washed because it was just to cold to bother with.

There is not one speck of rust on the car... not one. Bodies of autos are now sealed and submerged in special solvents that protect the metal from corrosion quite well. So, in my mind the last thing to worry about now is being splashed with salt water. It will all be fine.

This is interesting about rust. Recently, when I purchased my new (used) car, the car salesman looked at my old 1997 car that I traded in; he commented on all the rust. He told me that the newer cars now don't have that old issue because they are treated (as you noted above). So I just thought I'd share that with you.

I also live in the Northeast, and I'm still cautious about the effects of road salt over a period of time; however, I am not nearly as concerned about it now with the newer car models. Yet, I'll still definitely get my car washed more in the winter as a helpful , preventative measure. I guess that's all I can do.

I still see a lot of rusty cars here in the spring though. It's what keeps the Bondo people in business.

Don't forget your time as well. What productive thing could you have accomplished while waiting for the delivery. A person like yourself is worth plenty during that time. I'm thinking you even lost money during that time. BTW, you tip way too much, but then again, I'm old and cheap. (frugal)

I never heard of watching another episode of something on Netflix referred to as a productive thing before.
