<VV> RE: Rust Free Cars

[Dave Keillor]

A car that has been stored anywhere may have issues.  The best place
I've ever stored my cars was in a wooden horse riding arena with a dirt
floor.  The floor was as dry as powder as far down as you cared to dig.
A clay floor would have been a poor location.  The worst I've seen was a
cement block building with a dirt floor.  Concrete can be bad, too,
depending on the age of the concrete, whether it has a vapor barrier
underneath, and the type of building.  Here in Minnesota it's the
climate changes that pose the biggest rust issue.

Any car that has been sitting in anything with a dirt floor may 
have issues. You just have to look and take your chances?


Currious,


Dirt pole barns here in Texas are known to hold some of the most
rust-free cars
I've ever seen.   Maybe it's location dependent observation?
