 It's not a problem at all.

Average annual metal corrosion rates after long-term exposure for various 
climates and pollution levels

Salt Exposure   none    moderate   high

Alunimun            .0003     .009          .0194
Weatheing Steel .023        .09            .810
Carbon Steel     .04           .26         2.19
304 Stainless     .000025  .000127     .0004
316 Stainless      .000025 .000025     .000028

So unless you own a Delorian, corrosion rates due to weathering are 1/10th

to 1/100th what your current car experiences.

  The normal life span is ****.  Planned to match your ability to afford
to 
purchase a new one just as a the cattle milking cycle is designed to match
a 
cows capacity to produce.

  The AmeriKKKan public just love to be milked like the cattle they are.
