If you enjoy grey skies and a constant cold drizzle. Try Altoona out, you’ll find rent under 1k there.

Yes you should definitely get rid of the salt first chance you get, I do the full deluxe one every week, especially in the winter. When it’s warmer I just get the tier that includes the underbody spray and wax and polish her myself.

I live in Erie atm, rent+ utilities are about $600 a month, 700 sq ft one br, you can find better places than mine for a similar price but I was in a rush when I moved here. Downside here is low wages.

There’s cheap like you don’t leave your house at home alone at night and cheap like you better enjoy the sound of crickets and driving 30 mins to find any sign of civilization.
My town is so small we may have a grocery store but if you are hungry and don’t want to drive or drive far you are SOL. And shit like Door Dash is “not available in my area” 🤣

I live just south of Coatesville and I have a daughter in Hockessin and a daughter in Wilmington. Plus two on call jobs in Wilmington. So I drive through the horse farms and just general beautiful landscape and very old houses often. Such a lovely drive. We (my husband and I) call it our Jane Austen land. And consider these two daughters used to live one in Manyunk and the ither close to the art museum. So we were on the Schukyll to visit our grandchildren. But new jobs, both sons in law ended up in Delaware within a year of each other. One is a lawyer and the other is a scientist. So lots of business in both those fields in Wilmington.

Mostly matters if it’s underneath your car and behind body panels. Go to the car wash and be sure to get an undercarriage wash specifically. If you’d like to protect against corrosion- look into getting your car undercoated especially if it’s new

Think of it like honey on your skin. Better to get it off earlier than later when it keeps building up. But it's acidic honey that slowly eats away at your skin.

It sucks to have to wash everything frequently, but yes. The preventive maintenance will help prolong your vehicle.
If you want to wash less frequently it will help to under coat the vehicle. It will help with rust prevention.
Weekly washing will prolong the frame, pans, bolts, etc. though.

posing for photos is "proud" and generally they won't do it. not saying all Amish follow the same hard and fast rules. my son in law saw an Amish woman in a train station and was surprised she was carrying a handbag! I told him of course she had a bag, was she supposed to carry all her stuff in her hands?

you really need to add some criteria, or just go to https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_rent/ and look.
​
you can rent studio apartments in Philly for 1k a month, or whole houses for 1k
