Anyone from a state where they use lots of salt on the roads during the
winter ever buy a new car and NOT get rustproofing?  My automotive
future father-in-law says rustproofing is a scam and Consumer Report says
it's a dealer pack, so I am interested in some field test data...

Seems to me that if one washes the car somewhat during the winter there
should be no reason for the car to rust out from the inside any faster
than the outside (which isn't covered by rustproofing garrantees).

Anyone with info?  Opinion?
