First off, whoever started the rumor that Texas is rust free? They
should be shot, err hanged!! Anyone believing that a car from TX is
going to be rust free must also be in the market for a prime TX ski
chalet. Most of western Texas is good to cars, but the whole of east
Texas, including the population center of Houston, is very humid and
home to a bigger and better tinworm than most (everything's bigger in
TX).
BTW, I think Neil brought his car to Austin because he wanted to drive
it!
