Re: New member from Detroit area.
Theres rust on it, just not as much as you'd expect for it being in Michigan, how far is Wyandotte from Detroit?

Re: New member from Detroit area.
Still a good deal! The Dotte is about 15 minutes south from Detroit. I've been in Warren around Shoenherr road for work before. I dunno how they pronounce that "Shane-er," haha.ScoobyDoo82 wrote:Theres rust on it, just not as much as you'd expect for it being in Michigan, how far is Wyandotte from Detroit?

Minor rust and you're from the Motor City?
