I'm from Socal but I'm stationed at Fort Stewart, GA at the moment. Savannah is like a 45 min drive for me. Very close

When you talked about the terrain of south Georgia I knew you had to be close. I'm from Charleston, marshview isn't much different

Humidity is a killer

Some days, if not all, I feel like I'm showering in sweat when I step out my door.

......... and I was born and raised here. If you're not from this part of the country and used to it, it can be killer. 95 degrees here with the humidity is way more uncomfortable than 100 degrees in the dry southwest, as you stated. But.......... right about now (October), through April, the weather is so good it does make up for that summer heat

My Evo had the same issue with the undercarriage rust. The dealer said that it was "normal" to the extent that rust will form where the paint has chipped exposing the steel body parts/frame. Like its been said, unless you plan to keep the car for 15 years plus, its not going to rust through. The dealer won't cover rust unless its visible on painted body panels.

You should try another dealer. The most vulnerable areas for rust, especially where it snows, is the underbody carriage. The only time you see rusting on body panels is when there is a deep scratch that goes straight through the paint onto the metal.

Ummmm...You might want to read your warranty. Dealer has NO obligation to cover any underbody rusting..
