Clean and NO RUST You might want to verify that. I flew fron NM to MD to pick up a mint rust free Iroc and believe it or not, when I picked it up the floors had holes, the t-tops leaked and there was surface rust hidden rust all over the body. East coast cars are notorious for rust Check again to save yourself some heartache.

I'm in Buffalo, but you won't see any nice Camaros this time of year up here It's to cold, to snowy, and to much salt on the roads.

Tourism, you should probably stay on the Canadian side. Other than the Casino's there's not much in Niagara Falls on the US side - especially this time of year. I think the Buffalo auto show is next week. In Canada, there are many nice places to visit. If you are into valuable muscle cars, Legendary Motor Cars is near Toronto.

You find some nice rust free cars up here, but they have never been driven in winter and always garaged from about October until about May

I'll be in Vegas next week, and I'm glad to be heading that way.

i was about to say, Rust free in the northeast, means you get the rust, free. and in california it means, no rust what so ever. my trip to LA last summer depressed me.
