Gun shots lol older vehicles yes newer vehicles not so much i live in snow county and i see surface rust because the owner never took care of it. Haven’t seen holes in a 5 year old vehicle. And I’ve seen vehicles get repaired with non manufacture panels also like those from JC Whitney. And if you read your owners manual they tell you how to take care of your vehicle. You know that manual that no one ever reads that just sits in the glove box.
I wouldn’t know i live in the suburbs but i worked in Detroit , hanging out Downtown now is a blast best craft beer in the country, going to see the Tigers, redwings, and pistons, and lions. Hanging out i Detroit is different than it was before Detroit is on a big comeback you can’t even buy commercial property it’s all sold to developers.
Icy roads and bridges are rare around here (Greenville, SC) and the roads are almost never salted. Car body rust is rare and 30+ year old cars on the road are fairly common. My old 1967 Plymouth Belvedere was still on the road the last time I saw it (about 4 years ago) and it was still rust free.

Yeah - I had guns pulled on me, bricks thrown at my car when driving through neighborhoods, and an attempted car jacking when I lived there in the late 80's early 90s. I didn't leave the house without a gun.

Again, what? I've pretty much built my career over the last 30 years working first on the line at GM (UAW Local 22) (Hamtramck, building Sevilles, Eldorados, and Allantes), then in plant floor automation throughout GM, Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Land Rover, Volvo, etc. Spent considerable time in 33 of GMs manufacturing, stamping, and engine plants worldwide. Helped build the software that runs GM's plant floor operations, supply chain, logistics, and automation as well as building the integration of their SAP systems at all levels. Did the same for Ford, Nissan, and Toyota.

Yep the old neighborhoods are still like that but downtown is pretty safe. Just like Chicago you don’t go and visit the south side you stay downtown.

Well SUVs are easier to clean, especially if they are truck based SUVs and don't have the cladding underneath. If salt gets on my Volkswagen Golf's unibody I don't have good access to wash it off

That’s why you go to a car wash that has a undercarriage wash system to clean the unibody. Or lay on your back and spray with a hose.
