<VV> Keeping Rust Free Cars that way

[J R Read_HML]

I have a brick garage with concrete floor (cracks in it) - build in the mid 
1920s in IL.  My issue is always in the spring - sometimes other times of 
the year - when the floor is cold and the humidity is high.  The floor 
condenses the moisture out of the air.  Putting down a layer of plastic does 
not help either.  The moisture just condenses on the plastic.  I suppose 
heat would help, but that is another issue.  I'm running a 250w halogen bulb 
24/7 just to (hopefully) help dry the air.  I think I'm kidding myself on 
that one.  BUT, I'm certainly willing to listen to suggestions.  Of course 
it does not help that my wife's driver gets parked in the other stall and 
brings in moisture as well.

I've got a CA car parked out there - spent all but 2 yrs of life in 
Sacramento and the last 2 near LA (black plate car).  It IS rust free and I 
want to keep it that way.  Brought it home (IL) in April - May of 05.

  Concrete can be bad, too,
depending on the age of the concrete, whether it has a vapor barrier
underneath, and the type of building.  Here in Minnesota it's the
climate changes that pose the biggest rust issue.
