Could this be the reason there are not many in Florida ... aluminum oxidizes fairly quick next to the ocean due to the salty air so it requires a lot of care or be coated with something.. fiberglass won't rust or oxidized.. Just have to keep it in a/c garage I guess..

As for oxidation, NONE of our customers anywhere have told us that is a problem. Frankly, I don't think it would be a problem unless you drove it on the beach (which I HAVE seen)

. We have tons and tons of cars (probably 70% of our production) in California by the beach--Los Angeles and San Francisco areas--without any problems at all.
