Just wondering, do you have your own car-washing equipment, or do you
go to a commercial car wash that often? How snowy / slushy / salty is
your area in the winter months? Sounds like your lucky VW is really
pampered!

So what about the two inspections -- should the problem have been
found? And if not, then why doesn't the inspection protocol take this
into account, especially when there is evidence of rust?
