Rust
 
I have noticed alot of the bolts in the engine bay are rusted to ---- like this one:

I dont think this is from colorado at all for we dont use salt on our roads. This car was orignally an california car and then it went to ohio for most of this life. Do they use salt on the raods in ohio oris this a resualt of the car sitting in the snow and rain without a hood for a good 5 months? There is no sign of cancer on the car at all except for the bolts.

Just normal wear would be my guess Onyx. Especially if it was cheap hardware. Everyday oxidization and moisture will carse anything to rust if it's not protected.

east coast is horrible on cars, they dump excesive ammounts of salt on our roads in east pa., to the extent of it sounding like driving on a gravel driveway. pink, patink, ding. My rex was a rust machine, it still has a little rust on the rear quarters, but what e.c. honda doesn't.

No joke though, my seat literally is falling out of the car.
I think I may have a little body "flex" because I have gone through 3 windshields within the past year due to cracking. :-[

One time I tried using the jack points on the car. I jacked it up and then a second later the jack point was so rusted it collapsed and the jack went right through the floor, or what's left of it.

I better get an award for shittiest/most rusted car that still drives. At our track, if you run a twelve second pass you get thrown out unless you have a cage...cage, makes me laugh because there is nothing to weld it to in my car.

Another thing, the whole rear of my car has been cutout at some time and a Dx rear bumper, hatch, quarter panel etc. has been welded in.

I should really take some pictures of my entire car so you all can get a good laugh.
