You're sure right about that. But dirt/mud can be a problem too. Oklahoma, Texas and Mexico have red dirt that is full of clay. When dry, it is easily picked up by the tires and thrown into the wheel wells and other cavities. If it isn't washed out, humidity will cause it to stick as a cake, holding moisture and causing rust.
I find that cars that are owned by people in cities are pretty much rust free, but those owned by people in the country and driven on dirt roads rust through in less than 25 years. The red dirt does it.
