I agree particle, but its the salt that most in the north fear as these machines rust. But most aren't museum pieces or dainty flowers. Drive 'em I say.....just not when a lot of salt is present for me.

I don't drive on heavily salted roads, but that hasn't been an issue for the last 3-4 years as winter seems to have left the Midwest (Kansas City).
We had one decent snow here this winter that required salt and it rained for a few days shortly after, so that salt was washed away.

A few winters ago saw no snow at all

Myself, I'm not really worried about the salt - but one of the reasons I bought this car is because it's a convertible. Cars only have so many KM's in them - I don't want to waste KM's with the roof up. Rather wait till the nice weather so I can max out my top down driving.
My wife won't let me get another one of these anytime soon, so I have to make sure this one lasts!
