Yep, exactly. Detroit is odd in the sense that we have so many new cars on the road with nearly everyone working in some facet of the industry (company cars, development cars, etc). When I visit my folks in Milwaukee, I'm always surprised to see how much older stuff is still on the road. IIRC the average registered vehicle age is ~12yr, which is a heck of a lot of salt exposure year after year.
I wish I had taken pics of all the cool cars just sitting around in my neighborhood back in the 1980s.
