When I go SD and stay on the beach everything within 1/2mile is rusted. Cars, signs, parts of houses everthing! Even low grade 400 series stainless is eaten alive. By coast I thougt you meant you lived on or near the ocean.
Surface rust is unacceptable to me though. I have a skewed prespective I guess since I grew up in AZ where nothing rusts.

Yeah, that is the downside. I lived on the coast my whole life, sometimes the air is so salty everything has a nice glaze on it. I used to have to wash and wax my bike and car weekly to prevent the polished aluminum from rotting.
I moved "over the hill" into the valley 2 years ago, I cant believe how much less maintenance i have to do!

Well, I can't say it's 108 here, but today is suppose to reach 105 degrees. It's 3 pm now, and here in Fort Worth, TX it is 103*. We don't have the dry heat AZ has or the humidity the coasts have, we have a mixture of something inbetween... I don't care who you are or where you live, anything over 100* is hot as ****...

"Rust? I'm not driving in the ocean..."
Thats a good one! haha
This humidity from this monsoon crap is getting annoying too! It's all good though. Only a month or two and the weather will get back to somewhat normal. Of course then I go back up to prescott for school, then I get to deal with the altitude and making my truck slow lol. It never ends. It's all good though, I love Arizona...and my truck

I don't know why people think we don't get humidity here in AZ. From end of June/early July to the rest of the summer, we get Monsoons. The weather the rest of the country is experiencing is what happens here for at least 2 months EVERY summer. Suck it up and deal with it. After the monsoons, it's just plain hot. Phoenix is the worst though, its at a lower elevation and there's concrete and asphalt everywhere that never cools off. On a +100* day we'll at least get down to low 80's at night.
"Yeah but it's a dry heat." If some one ever says that to me again, I'm going to tell them to go **** themselves and spend a week here working outside.
