it was
paint problems. That may be some of it but good steel will rust much more
slowly
than lousy poor quality steel.

A friend owned a FIAT (that stands for "Fix It Again, Tony") whose frame or
pan had rusted to such an extent that when he jacked up the car to change a
tire, the doors wouldn't open. MV content: He was thrown out of an M151 that
went airborn and lost the first digit of his right flipping finger when the
jeep landed on his hand.
