Interesting. I'm not sure why, but I was under the impression that island cars (Victoria/Nanaimo at least) are less prone to rust than even the mainland? Perhaps they get a little less rain than we do? I don't think they're getting loads more salt exposure in the air/rain than we do in the Lower Mainland.
