No Risks if you zone in on the "Piedmont Area" of NC
No flooding in this region, no mountain snow road salt, no coastal air.
From about Hickory (west) on out past Raleigh (east)
WinstonSalem, High Point, Greensboro, Burlington, Durham to name a few more well populated areas with lots of cars.
20 year old cars in the junkyards around here are still rust free.
You can find an excellent 3-5 year old Dodge Truck with zero corrosion anywhere.
Alternators still have nice clean cases, no rusty bolts or brake lines. etc .....
Once in a while a stray nothern car will come into a salvage yard.
You can spot them right away.
Its pitiful
