After looking at the underside of your car I think that you should find another mechanic!

Another - Looks normal to me - vote.

Rust? I don't see any traces of it even on the auto trans steel pan.
I wouldn't worry.

The C6's suspension is all aluminum, therefore impossible to rust. If your mechanic is truly claiming what you say he did, he's a scumbag, a thief, and a liar.

I find it hard to believe you are that dense. In fact, I don't. You are just a troll. I hope you had a nice day with your funny post.

By the way the OP writes his posts, I am thinking he is [very young] and has basically zero past experience with cars, to include no mechanical knowledge or aptitude.

Not to be rude ... just my opinion

No, but there is testicular rust and if you're not careful, you might end up with redheaded kids...

The question was just a figure of speech. I'm sorry if I offended you.
