I bet you its not.Thats a stupid generalization to make don't you think? I know plenty of dds that are impecable.Its all how you treat it/maintain it.
Just for fun, I'm going to make another generalization. I'll bet your definition of "impeccable" is nowhere near what mine is.
Srsly. I guess I'm not hardcore because I park my nice car in the garage over the winter? I have two GVR4's, a Toyota pickup I use for wheeling...and a damn company van that I use everyday to commute to jobsites and for general work use during the week. I can only drive the car so much anyway.
It's a good thing I don't get my panties in a twist because others generalize about my situation and why the car doesn't get that many miles.
Simply put: Water = Rust. Salt = Corrosion. Driving your car seasonally = Lower miles Dumb people driving = Accidents (More so in winter). Cold weather = Increases the chance of door handle breakage Not to mention the risk of going down the highway and a chunk of ice flying off the car in front of you and scratching paint. So many reasons to get a beater. And that chill pill video was hilarious btw
Water, or oxygen is what rusts or corrodes the car. Salt is a catalyst (kinda like how a turbo helps our cars move fast!) in the the chemical reaction and makes rusting or corrosion happen MUCH quicker.
...I learned that in chemistry!!
Very nice mindset.....I would've gone into detail, but wanted to keep it simple. But to put into more detail:
Salt is hydroscopic. This means that salt attracts water. Since water is needed for corrosion (along with oxygen), salt helps gather that water.
So, basically it's bad! And DSM's are good. Why mix the 2?

What's the point in tearing up your play car if you have a DD? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather have my DD hit by some idiot in the snow and ice than my play car. That's the whole point in having more than one car - drive the one you don't care much about in the weather and save your play car for better days. The only car I own that doesn't get parked is my Focus. I don't need ABS or AWD in the snow to control my rig.
my car doesnt start in the winter. Therefore, it sits.
