The Z has Cancer, Help!! (factory rust protection)
Well I went to change the oil on the Z tonight.
I HATE THE GOD DAMN @#%KING MIDWEST GOD DAMN @#%KING SNOW
So I drop the ground shield and what is lurking under my newly washed car?
WTF did the previous owner do, bathe the car in the black sea twice a year? A car this new should not be @#%king corroded like this.
Let me guess, unless it's rotted completely through, it's not covered.

My G is worse under the car.. I have my plastic undertray ziptied.. There's rust everywhere and my oilpan is a little scuffed because i'm slammed and i have a oil pan spacer... My engine bay on the other hand looks alot better because I clean it as often as I clean the paint.. Crappy New England weather. O well..

It looks bad, but most of it is on the surface and won't have any tangible impact for at least another 8 - 10 years. 90% of cars that drive in the winter (with salted roads) look like that.
It is horrible to look at though...
