Thousand Dollar Car by the Bottle Rockets:

Thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin'
Thousand dollar car it ain't worth shit.
Might as well take your $1000,
and set fire to it.
$1000 car ain't worth a dime,
You lose your $1000 every time.
Oh why did I ever buy,
a $1000 car.
$1000 car is gonna let you down,
More than it's ever gonna get you around.
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust,
You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust.
$1000 car's life was through,
'bout 50,000 miles 'fore it got to you.
Oh why did I ever buy,
a $1000 car.
A $1000 car ain't even gonna roll,
til you throw at least another thousand in the hole.
Sink your money in it, and there you are
the owner of a 2,000 dollar 1,000 dollar car.
(guitar solo)
If you've only got a $1000.
You ought to just buy a good guitar.
Learn how to play it it'll take you farther,
than any old $1000 car.
If a $1000 car was truly worth a damn,
then why would anybody ever spend ten grand.
Oh why did I ever buy,
a thousand dollar car.

Salt in the winter isn't nice for a car, but it can be a whole lot worse. In the south near the ocean, the salt in the air takes a toll on the cars.

If your car is undersprayed, it shouldn't really rust. Cosmetic rust, maybe, but the parts that matter should be fine.

My '94 has spent 10 years in WNY and 5 years in Florida, has some cosmetic rust but not a lot. Underneath is like new, as well as under the hood.

I'm hoping to hit 20 years on the car...it certainly doesn't seem out of reach.

I mean if you take care of it...

My current truck is a 1996. Some rust...but the body is strong.

Just got to fix problems when they occur.

Oh yea, and use Mobil 1 every 3,000 miles.

13 years and running strong.

Betting it's the triangular bicusped.
