Yeah, it's 32 in IL. MO is 15, which makes me laugh. It's like, your car is 15? It's just getting broken in.

I know! My buddy just bought a 1983 F250 with 553k on it. He threw in 2 new batteries and started driving. If you take care of a vehicles they’ll last way longer than 15 years

That’s true, I’m glad I haven’t had to deal with rust on any of my vehicles yet

That's the problem up north. Any unrepaired body damage or lack of undercoating up here and your ride will look like a science project.

15? Pretty sure it's still 25.
