I’m in Nevada. I’ll definitely look into it before moving back to Michigan.I don't know if you live in a "salty" area, but if you see any rust buckets on your travels, (P5's or otherwise), I think you should take your car in for a good rust proofing, even if only one time.
Go to a place that drills holes in the car to get their spray wands into the hidden areas (inside the doors, pillars, fenders, everywhere.)
Rust normally starts on the inside and rusts through to the paint.
All the hidden areas that get protected with undercoating are pretty well protected from the environment and the rust proofing shouldn't wash away.
I've been going to Krown Rustproofing every year since I bought my car in March 2009.
My car is still on the road, and the rust is not that bad compared to every other P5 that I've seen that is still on the road.

You may have the only P5 still in Michigan, certainly the only rust free one.
Looking good!This morning I wrote “engine mounts” on my to-do list after feeling movement through the stick during acceleration

Where to (roughly) in MI? I'm in the SE DetMet area. I had a NC Pro5 which succumbed to me being a plonker, but had some rust starting in the rear arch, and have a TX Pro5 that has been resprayed poorly, but lacks rust (thankfully) so there's that...I’m in Nevada.

That is how my miata is, but protege was a rust free NJ car when I got it in 2009. Then I daily drove it here in CT, never garaged. It'll tell me when it is time to say goodbyeI was lucky to get a garaged California car.
