Take whatever position, and argue-support your convictions, all you want, but PLEASE don't argue that the car "will continue" to rust, if its not some-how "de-rusted" (by Ultra One, or anyone else). Rust is NOT a living organism, such as is a tumorous malignancy. Rust is a chemical reaction, involving ferrous metal, and oxygen, and some extent of humidity and maybe some alkaline agent. Surface rust actually forms its own protective barrier, against further corrosion. Given that the car is virtually encapsulated by cosmoline and corrosion, and I don't know what-else, I can not imagine how it would deteriorate (fall-apart, though: YEAH!) any further, unless it would be dipped in the ocean. IRONICALLY, Ultra-One plans to strip the car to BARE METAL! So: sure, go argue that the highest public-good is served by removing all the patina and corrosion from the car , so that we can see what a de-rusted car looks like [ gee; I've never seen one of them, before! ] , but, please, don't argue that "they are SAVING" the car from continuing to rust-away !
