Default any winter drivers have rust?

I know a few owners here drive their cars year round. I was wondering if any of you that live in areas that use road salt have any body rust?

Yip. At the back of the front wheelwells are small pockmarks and they have rusted. Another forum member has rust in exactly the same place. We both autocross so I don't know if that accounts for something (more small stones thrown up on the fender by R-comp tires??). I don't think he winter drives though. I drove mine one full winter, and a couple of months last year in the winter.
