hey fellow Quebecan
I'm from Ville des Laurentides, pass by Laval everyday.
From what I know, the two main conditions to create rust on a car is: Humidity and salt abrasives. As you know, Montreal and vinicity meets well those two conditions. They spread tons of salt on the roads and the humidity is just so high.
I always figured that parking the car in a garage will just melt the snow that remains on the car and get the garage very humid (as you mention). First condition for rust
Salt is only effective in temperature warmer than -15c or so. colder than that, it become inactive. At the temperature your garage stays at, the salt you are bringing in is just eating slowly your car.
So my theory is to leave the car in the driveway, dont park it indoors. The wind will also help drying the car. And rust proof, rust proof, rust proof. Volvos are very good for not rusting easely, we have this advantage, but we still need to help it.
If you want a warmer car to get into after one of our beautiful winter night, install an Autostart brand car starter. I can fix you up with that.
