I'm in New York now, and I feel ya on the damp weather and rust. It's funny it's like the opposite of everything that goes bad in damp cold weather. The metal, frame, body, all last and look great forever, but the interiors, wiring, and anything rubber like radiator hoses and stuff like that, dry rot quickly and become extremely brittle in the dessert. Especially if they're not maintained or treated with anything.
