You do realize that the car is made of fiberglass and carbon fiber. It won't rust. Also...it's a CAR! Get out and DRIVE IT!

I can't disagree!! No offense taken at all. I was going to drive it today with dry salt on the roads. I drove my truck though because I had to haul something. Maybe tomorrow.
I'm not worried about a little dry salt. It's the salty water that I stay away from. Plus, these are some other reasons I'm keeping it in the garage
Cold roads are slippery for these cars, even when dry.
There is a lot of granular salt the flies up and can chip paint.
It gets dirty!
