Should i get a Toyota celica or honda civic As a beater car to protect my dd from salt?
Depends on the celica. I'd say anything is fine apart from the 140hp 7th gen.

you know underbody coating is a thing, right?
>>14688173
>He thinks underbody coatings will stop the rust
Protip: the most damaging rust happens inside the car.
>>14687848
Depends entirely on which Celica and which Civic we're talking about.
>>14688188
do educate me

Fuck the salt enterprise.
Why can't the government just make it the law to have snow tires... And why the fuck not just use sand instead of salt, its way less harmful to the environment.

The more you know right. This is why you check the seat bolts for rust in a car out here.

What is clogged sewage for $500?

It is the law to have snow tires in Quebec. Sadly though, no one knows how to drive and leaving some roads unshoveled or only sanded would cause for massive chaos on the roads. Also there is more ice than snow. Most of the vehicles in the ditch during a snow storm here are AWD just to show you how bad it is.

That's why you buy weather tech floor mats you fucking idiot

quebec has the most salty rust buckets i've ever seen in one place
>>14688973
No fancy floor mat will stop the rust from happening unless you go Gestapo mode and act like your shoes are a biohazard of some sort. It doesn't take much to splash salty water out of them. It also doesn't take much salty water to start rusting.

yeah, I figured you were full of shit
funny thing my turn of the millenia FRENCH shitbox has no mystic interior rust even though it has been through 16 heavily salted north european winters with boots melting liters and gallons of slush on the footwells. no underbody rust either because the coating actually works.
same case with newer cars

Fucking lots of cities out west have figured out how to do this without fucking up sewage for $200 alex
>things I learned on /o/ today
>the most damaging rust happens inside the car from dripping off your feet, to your seat bolts
>salt is bad for the environment
>drive on highway
>salt kicked up onto car
>sandblasting away undercoating while simultaneously fucking up undercarriage
>finally get to destination while leaving shitton pile of snow ontop of car
>drains get clogged
>water sits inside car cavitys
all it takes is a couple of rocks to expose undercarriage and you're fucked
same goes for the water that sits in certain spots since manufacturers don't know how to tackle condensation inside the unibody
